Silver Spitfire

[Timc]

Here's the BBMF's Spitfire UF-Q sporting a new silver paint job, looked very good against the occasional blue sky we had in Shropshire!

Lovely shots of a lovely plane. 3 for me.

[TW25]

Super shots Timc, She came over Mablethorpe at 3-20pm

Great shots Tim, its definitely an iconic machine and it still looks 'cool' (for want of a better word) all these years later.

Just an observation: the sky colour of the first two looks much better with the exposure taken down by half a stop or more.

[Torpedo]

Nice shots Tim. Looks good in silver.

Picture #3 for me, silver looks great and I love the angle on the shot

[Timc]

Well photon, it did occur to me regarding the exposure, someone on another forum thought it should be cropped tighter so I altered the exposure for that one, personally I like aircraft flying into a bit of space, so not too sure if this works.

Lovely shots Tim :thumbs:
Gotta be my favourite aircraft of alltime! Nothing sounds like a Rolls Royce Merlin engine :D

[Timc]

Hi dixon, ironically someone else on yet another forum said he viewed the photo's listening to this!!!!

Nice series of shots, and a real beauty of a machine :thumbs:. It looks so charismatic, if that can be said about an aircraft :shrug:
