The picture is a modern photo which I just modified, eliminating the road, and the plane is the JustFlight Spitfire.

I'm not familiar with Beachy-Head, but aren't those the cliffs of Dover? Beautiful shot Dave.

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

No, it's Beachy Head (no hyphen). Note the lighthouse at the bottom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beachy_Head

Often mistaken for the White Cliffs of Dover.

No, I'm not either Larry but in my photo search, I discovered it is, as Hagar says, completely different from the White Cliffs. They're in county Kent while Beachy Head is in Sussex. Can you imagine when there were no chalk cliffs and the Channel was filled with dirt, rocks and grass?
