Thanks for the advice Eric it does look much better you're quite right.
Please anybody who would like to criticize my pictures feel free as its nice to get others views and it helps me to improve. I feel that an outside point of view can see things that the person who's been looking at the image for hours misses.
Anyway to continue heres a trio from the great Grumman stable With a bit of artistic license on the end
Very nice! You have a good eye, Lee. I always liked the look of the Hellcat as the gear are going up. It looks like a gazelle as it's leaping. Nice edit on the last one. Add some sepia and a little noise and you could fool most anyone.

Thanks Adler I'm glad you enjoy them.
I felt quite lucky about the Hellcat Eric the last couple of years its had technical problems on not managed to fly.
Not so fast a mode of aeronautics as the cats these are the Lysander and the Gladiator both are from the Shuttleworth collection

Sorry for the poor exposure on those Eric but I found shooting a black plane against the sky really tough my shots of the Lancaster came out a bit better.
These next few are of the RNAF B25 it put on a very nice show doing some half roll turns.
Thanks LW
Back to the UK for a couple of navy planes the Seafire and Seafury.
The second shot shows the cowled arrester hook arrangement on the Seafire's tail quite well .
Nice! The fourth B-25 shot was real crisp. The Seafury shots are super. I know shooting there is a tough nut to crack with the ever present clouds, but you did alright. Those are tough conditions to shoot in and you made the best of it.

Cheers guys heres a couple more from the LW the ME109J this is the Buchon (a Spanish version) which unfortunately seems to have a merlin engine fitted although it sounded totally different to the Spite or P51.
The other is of course the FW190 although a replica and at the moment ground bound I managed to get it taxing on the Friday before FL.
