Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thank you all for your comments. The K30 continues to impress me. When I first looked at the photo I thought I had the shutter speed too fast for the propellers but it doesn't look too bad.

I remember seeing them in the War -- same as Steam Trains -- then they were all DIRTY looking -- now they are all 'Collectors' Items' every bit is polished up !!

The photo is spot on.

It made me pause and look for a while and think what the heck it must have been like to fly these things in action.

The sky is also just right supporting the colours of the spitfire.
