Great shot of an iconic machine, you did well to get a clear shot at the Udvar-Hazy museum

Oh thats a great place to get the whole plane in with others for scale. Dunsfold is very crowded. Slightly clipped but I guess it's the limitations of the space/lenses

You're right - Duxford. Went for the first time a few weeks ago.Think you might mean Duxford? AFAIK there's only a Hunter and Seahawk at Dunsfold.
It is a great museum, Enola Gay and a Space Shuttle amongst the other exhibits. A Wright Flyer is displayed at the main Smithsonian site in downtown DC too.

So this is the one at Dulles airport, Washington?

Yeah been there once back in 2011, also went to Quantico USMC Museum which was fantastic!Yeah. The Smithsonian Air & Space Museum is split into two - the original in the centre of D.C. and the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center right next to Dulles.
The former tends to have smaller stuff like the Bell X-1 and Wright Flyer plus educational areas which chart the timeline of the Apollo missions, for example. The Udvar-Hazy Center has all the big-ticket stuff which simply won't fit anywhere else and is basically a potted history of air and space travel, including the Enola Gay, Space Shuttle Discovery, a Concorde and the SR-71. Both are a must-visit
Very wide lens then!?
I love the straightness, did you have to make any corrections?
