Going for that old look again. CC welcome

I like that one better.
That looks like a early version of the MkIV "tank buster"?

Many thanks.

I'm not too sure. Unfortunately I don't have it's ID on record anywhere so cant check it out. It's an old photo from a couple years back.

Really like this one. Only wish the top part of the prop wasn't cut off. Still a good photo.

Like the effect, but I believe that's a Spifire, not a Hurricane.

i was thinking the EXACT same thing after i only saw the title... but too the OP - killer shot! I love the period dress of the crew sitting in front of the plane... was this from a reenactment?

I didn't manage to bring any of my WWII reference books with me to Ukraine (imagine that right?), but Im thinking thats a Spit Mk V? first production Spits to be armed with 20mm cannons? Any one else have a better or more reliable reference nearby?

...but I believe that's a Spifire, Crap! Totally missed that! :D I was just looking at the .20s

Title changed to "Another Spitfire".

Was taken at the VE Day air show at Duxford. The guys were just lazing around!

It's not a V. They only have a single radiator bay with a round oil cooler under the other wing.

It's a IX. I'm guessing it's MH434 operated by The Old Flying Machine Company, but without my own pictures to reference right now, I can't be certain... :)

Nice shot and effect.

I like the framing and effect. really gives it the old weathered and yellowed print feel to the shot.

Super shot.
