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.

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.
