Cool shot. One of a kind.

Makes me wonder though, did the Meteor have AC in the cockpit. Gotta be a hot ride down low if it didn't.

Fantastic shot
Looks like it should have pride of place in a Mess somewhere, framed.
It's the dramatic backdrop as much as the plane, beautifully positioned shot, everything's spectacular, the plane, the castle, the mountains.
