The Spitfire remains of L1037 are behind glass and not easy to photograph due to reflections from windows in the wall opposite.

I resorted to draping a coat over my head and camera while my wife held the coat against the glass. It worked. 🙂

It certainly did work! That’s a very good tip thanks 🙂 The ones I took of that display are pretty awful to say the least – the reflected windows are the clearest thing in them!

I totally agree with all the comments about Northumbria – a very beautiful, scenic part of the country which we really enjoyed visiting.
