Joe..

From my limited experience.. the aircraft due to 'take' form on the join side first anyway and then move in as instructed. I don't think that shot was 'organised' though I can't see any reason why it shouldn't have been given the mix of aircraft ;-)

As I'm being a slacker today, I'll butt in... :lol:

The Tonka had arrived first, and was sitting on the right wing waiting to do a another "dry prod" having already taken fuel. The GR7 and the 'Phoon were on the hoses together and disconnected simultaneously, and on reforming presented themselves nicely on the right. A little encouragement was all that was needed from Tonks to bring them forward for the shots, and a quick prod to get the GR7 up a bit (he was hiding his ugly little aeroplane behind the 'Phoon)!

So Joe, you weren't too far wrong! :lol:
