Oh yes, a wonderful set, possibly exceeding your very usual high standards!

They are all good, but I think special mention must go out to 3 of them:

Look at the expressions caught in that Napier shot, an absolute classic, the faces really tell it all.

As for the Blériot, bloody hell, 1/25 of a second!? 😮 You did well there, really well.

And what a finalé shot, Hugh would be well pleased with that I imagine, a classic pose and capture!! Would you mind if I sent it on to him?

Cheers,

Kev.
