Wonky bits?
Photoshop’s Rotate tool can help fix those erm… gravitational errors !!

Great stuff-I love cockpit shots!

Did I say ‘finally’? Oh, go on then. One more. Not a cockpit shot, but I just wondered what a Spitfire wing would look like from inside the aeroplane. Again, it’s a bit wonky, but that’s what you get when you just point and hope. 😀

And finally the Spitfire. Odd that the Spitfire was the only one still to have a gunsight fitted… Sorry, this one’s a bit wonky as well… 🙁

The P40…

Mustang. This one’s, erm, a little bit straighter than the Corsair… 😉

Superb shots Jo, thanks for posting them up. I managed to get some half decent pilots eye view shots by holding the camera inside the cockpits, so hopefully you won’t mind me adding them to this thread…
First one, the Corsair…

Nice pics – wish I’d been there.
Just a question. I thought, as the Mk9 Spitfire had cannon and machine-guns, it had a “double square” gun button, where the pilot could press one button for machine-guns, another for cannon, and in the middle for both – yet MH434 has the better-known single brass button like on the earlier marks.
