Fabulous shots Deano...number 2 is awesome...

Your "Tiger Moth" looks like she has a three blade prop and I do believe when the military aircraft were in a camouflage livery the white was left off the Airforce Roundel which showed only the red and blue. The Airforce Roundel was usually on the upper and lower wings as well as the port and starboard side. The red white and blue bars still showed on the rear fin. Many aircraft would sport a partial camouflaged livery with yellow added on the fuselage, wings and a yellow band which encircled the Airforce Roundel.

I am not totally sure that aircraft is in a military camouflage livery and if not then I do not see anything wrong with the Airforce Roundel other than I do not see it on the upper wings.

Wonderful shot just the same.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

All nice shots Deano, but #2 Shocked

Worthy of a nomination when they go up.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Gallavant - (intransitive) To roam about for pleasure without any definite plan.
1914 Bertram, it is true, when he heard of the plan, rebelled, and asserted that what Billy needed was a rest, an entire rest from care and labor. In fact, what he wanted her to do, he said, was to gallivant -- to gallivant all day long. — Eleanor H.Porter Miss Billy--Married, Chapter 18
