After complimenting Spencer Flack by letter on his appearance at the Shoreham show in 1980 with G-FURY and G-FIRE, he was kind enough to send me an air-to-air of the former aircraft.
It is my all time favourite photo, particularly as it has a personal story for me. My thanks to Mark12 for technical assistance and advice.

So difficult. Have so many favourites…
Here is one I’m quite fond of. No other particular reason. I took this one at Duxford circa 1993.

Paul

Great photos everyone – and some lovely studies rich in variety that’s typical of this board. Some great personal stories to go with them, and nice to see so much international coverage.
Keep ’em coming people!

That’s truly a cheek-clenching low pass!

Wat the hell is that Pegasus? That is what they call a low pass! 😀
Where was this picture taken? Would someone know who flew this great manoeuvre?
Great!

While not one I’ve taken(for obvious reasons) this is one of my favorite phots. Dr. Roger Christgau(in red) and me in front of his 9th Air Force combat veteran Mustang 44-63675/NL1751D at Eau Claire, Wisconsin in Sept 2002.
