Cracking pictures, looks like a few bits have been nicked of another ten.

I wish they'd posted that pic a week earlier.
I've just put out a repaint of it & although it's got a bit of the patchwork look, it doesn't look half as bad as that.
May have to recall it & smash it about a bit more.

Amazing detail :dance:
Not often you get to see the tops of wings in all their glory.
Cheers for the link Mark

I've just worked out what the small writing says at the bottom of the port side of the fin: Proudly supported by BAe systems

Err.. James,
Not wanting to state the obvious but feeling it necessary to do so.. the shot is of an RAF VC10 and rule of thumb is that RAF aircraft have RAF pilots
