A little bird flying away from the wave. It was taken back in April though, i'll try to take something nxt week.

I'll leave it at this one, from the southend airshow earlier this week. Always love the wing walkers, the planes go nice and slow giving me enough time to get the focus right. Also a fan of the flexible girlie's on top of the wings

I couldn't tell you how tempting it was to shift the propellers so they were identical. But then I thought - "I fancy keeping my hands on my arm".

Hmm, I'll try & take something specifically for an entry, but in the meantime here are a few from the archive to show willing!

ah - oops - it being parked might not qualify it for the compo - and rik's posting reminded me I have something similar I can put forward for now (must get out and take a proper piccy)

I'm just wondering about this current topic for the photo comp about ideas for photos.

Now birds and aeroplanes are the obvious choices but how about photos that take the inspiration of flight? Such as an person riding a bike stood up on the pedals with his arms spread eagle as if he's soaring? I'm not actually going to enter the competition myself but I'm just thinking, why not some people come up with some cracking photos that aren't of obvious "flight".

Just imo, seeing planes and birds is getting a little boring, no offense although most of them are good photos, I'm just hoping for some unique photos to be taken.

Well, good luck everyone
