Douglas, thoroughly enjoyed these. The red arrows of course, caught in 
dramatic combinations, but no aviation fan could not enjoy
the Spitfire pics.

Subject: [Leica] Holiday snaps 1 - Spits and Arrows

Hello all,
just got back from 3 weeks in the UK last night.

Here are a few shots taken at the 167th Whitby Regatta, the Red Arrows 
aerobatic team and a couple of Spitfires (one early model and one late one)

(Early)

(Late - with D-Day stripes Mk LF IXe (?) 1944)

(Early model - Mk IIa (?) 1940)

Rather more modern , and exciting in a different way - The Red Arrows - 
regular visitors to the Whitby Regatta

Diving out of a clear blue sky

More to come when I get around to sifting through another couple of 
thousand shots. Vintage cars and motor bikes, Fish and Chip victims, 
Goth girls, fat ladies, streets, beaches and sunsets, fairgrounds, 
trains.......

Hope you all like the first selection
Cheers
Douglas
