To have a flame on contact is something I hoped for but failed.

Nice on.

A great 'catch' for your camera, Dave: great experience being able to see this iconic plane, and then capture it in such conditions.

I love the front of the plane. It looks like a jumping spider's face. Smile

The surprised look on the aeroplane's 'face' is priceless. Great timing to get the flame, Dave!

A 20TH CENTURY fire breathing dragon. A good friends father was a navigator in one of these , he flew on many missions and later did many food drops to the dutch in the lancaster.. One of the packages he dropped knocked out an 11 year old dutch girl. They would later meet up back in Holland .
Most dramatic Lancaster shot I have seen Dave
