It's a pity you clipped out the tips of the wings in 1+2 as these are the best IMO. It's such an effort for these to get airborne.

I would like to see #1 in colour and agree a shame about the clipped wings in #2 but a good set of shots

Cheers guys. Number 2 is cropped to get rid of the wing tips, I have them in the origional picture, was just trying something different.

Put them back in. They'll be better for it.
