With a subject like this, I expected very high level posts and I was not disappointed.
I could have chosen the U-2 from xkekeith, the T-6 from PeteFenwick, the F-15 from PeterR (where you can count the number of cannon tubes!), many photos from jafrezi or Seamus, the An-225 from shorsley or many others but I have to make up my mind and it was Niallxg's Icelandic derelict Dakota that attracted me.
Your turn, Niall ...

Thanks Bernard,

Makes driving/walking through the snow in sub-zero temperatures for a sunrise shot worthwhile... :-)

I'll think about a topic for #7 overnight and get something up tomorrow.
