Just been having a play around with photoshop and came up with this that I quite like of Shuttleworths Bleriot..
Original photo taken with a film camera around 2000/2001.

Neal,
Looks good to me, I like the slightly hazy look so typical of vintage photos.
Just a shame that the short-cut OW runway is so obvious, I guess Monsieur Bleriot and his compatriots of that time would not have mowed (mown?) a runway, but simply used a well cropped meadow (or am I being a pedantic nit picker?).
Otherwise I think it works pretty well as a replica “period photo” ( or is it properly described as a “recreation”, or “a full scale copy”, or a “late production” example of a period photo… Ooops, likely to wake too many sleeping dogs if I’m not careful, and on the wrong thread too :diablo: ).

Think you need to strip some French paysan with berets into the background next.
