Great shots and interesting weather, I like your idea to use this rarely seen aircraft here (it has also a very nice livery, especially the design on the tail).

I have had this one in the hangar for a while and only used it for a few nostalgic shots. First time I have been for a flight in one and most enjoyable it was.I can remember seeing the Caledonian Britannias Gatwick in 1965.

What a great plane, I have never seen or heard of it before!

Thanks for making me feel so old Gerold.

Great shots and nice bird!

Beautiful flight, bird and shots Martyn.

These shots rule !!! , great caps Martyn .

 

Cheers
