Great job Barry. I really love that bottom image. See you at Thunder over Michigan in a few weeks.
Really nice Barry! Damn difficult aircraft to get a good, balanced exposure.

Thanks Jay and Ned.
Barry, I really like the top shot with the Harvards in background and from the crop, it looks like the Lanc is landing on a grass strip like in WWII.

Thanks, Bill. St.Thomas was a WW II Commonwealth Flight Training Base - mainly Harvards. It has a fairly narrow hard 5000' runway which makes strong crosswind landings tricky.

Really nice catch, Barry!
Nice shots of the Lancaster, as always. Too bad we don't have audio to hear the 4 RR Merlins.

Thanks, Matt and Bill. The Merlins purrrrrrrr!
Wonderful catch Barry! Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, Steve .... another opp comes up next weekend as long as the weather holds.

The Lanc and Mossie were both at the top of my bucket list, too, Bill. Fortunately for me, southern Ontario is a hotbed for warbirds.

Along with good weather, at least this year.
