I had hoped to do an old airfield visit somewehere in lincolnshire but for various reasons my attempts were thwarted. On the plus side, I made it to East Kirkby today 🙂 Enjoy the pictures.

pete- i think the ‘crack’ is a reflection of wires overhead, none of my other images show a crack.
trumper- yes, it is the spitfire light, beaten up indeed but im sure she flies ok! I was just having a bit of fun with some different compositions and having fun with underexposure as well.
as for the spit cockpit, I presume it should be green?

Not the nicest looking Spit cockpit that, is it?
Ahh, now come on, it’s not her fault! 😉

In the first picture of the Spitfires Nav lights it looks a bit beaten up and torn round the edges, i am assuming it is the Spitfires lights as the photo seems taken at a strange but interesting view point. 😀

That third shot of the Lancaster has something about it – looks like she’s waiting for the dark to come so she can get airborne.
What do you think??

on the way back i got stuck in woodhall spa (missed bus 🙁 ) for two hours so had a look around. Sobering to see the amount of names on the memorial and also the name of my namesake.

Awesome pics Steve! That looks like a crack in the spit windscreen?
