Great looking tight formation against the dramatic sky. Excellent shot, Ian.
Despite his vivid imagination, Leonardo would be surprised if he could attend this airshow 🙂

Ben, I really should admit that this was a dull-as-dishwater photo taken on an overcast day but when I pressed the magic button on my ancient software all these clouds suddenly became well defined and looking like they were laden with rain. But I will shamelessly accept the praise, thank you!
Ian , I thought the day was quite good for photos …and so this shot proves ….to my eyes this is what it looked like at the time ! fair does the contrast is hiked but the clouds in real looked defined …the camera tends to iron out the difference a little in its programme . You have just reintroduced what was there for us all to see .

One of your best.
Thanks everyone.
