Many thanks for all of your kind remarks - feel free to use it on the desk top (thats where mine now resides along with several others at work!)
I must do honour to John Schiell in our club as it was his Hanger 9 Spitfire and superb flying that made the shot possible, all I did was to trip over my flight box and the camera just went off.
By the way David you are right, I noticed the little tell tale rods as well . . . . perhaps that makes it modeltastic convincing.
Regards, Phil.
