My Grandpa's DH-9, taken at Bickendorf Airfield in the Spring of 1919.  He was an Observer and received the DFC some months prior for hanging over the side of their flak riddled aircraft - ankles locked under the gun ring - to keep the aircraft level when their controls were damaged.  They crash landed OK, found some friendlies, and had tea.

If you ever get a chance to go to the Sywell Aerodrome airshow in Northamptonshire, do NOT miss the opportunity.  They really know how to put on a show.

Great shot Tom! Like the simple background. Nice soft light. Good amount of prop blur. The perspective really shows off the detailed nature of the three uncowled engines.

I agree cool shot Tom....

What strikes me is how thick the wing is.

Looks like a great view of things out of the cockpit with the overhead glass.

Thanks Scott and Anna.
I really like the look of those uncowled engines.  Also, to reach the fuel tanks, they climb up through the overhead door to get acces to the top of the wings.

The original fuel gauge.
