Spitfire PT462

Spitfire  PT462
Taking off from Caernarfon airfield.
We had to divert there during a flying lesson last week due to bad weather and as luck would have it...


I've known a few old birds in my time. Not all of them have looked or sounded as beautiful as this one ;-)

Are you learning to fly! You could pinch a spitfire and circumnavigate the globe!

This was on my 1st lesson, Di. Sadly I was in a Cessna 150, not the Spit. If I could i would!!

Not sure I have either the time or the money, Pam, and it sure won't be before the age of 40...unless the clocks go back a few years, but hope for a few more...who knows?!

There's nothing like the sound of those Merlin engines. Magical image, Phill.

A great shot, Phill. It's the two seat version too.... gee, maybe in a few lessons' time. :) The mono treatment works well, a very 'period' effect.

Spot on Phill.........the processing has a nice period feel to it and the prop blur is superb!

Learning to fly eh? I reckon you're after a job as a flying Postie in Oz!!

Now there's a thought...that'd beat the building trade during English wintertime, and would do quite nicely!

"Not all of them have looked or sounded as beautiful as this one ;-)"

I quite agree with that. Good tight framing and proper sepia toning.

Ich kenne sie nur aus dem Museum.

Thanks Uwe. They're beautiful planes, and have a wonderful distinct engine sound that makes my hair stand on end.
