I think it is a great shot and I especially like your treatment of the sky and clouds, darkening at the edges and framing the plane, which looks to be struggling to maintain altitude!
Chris Lord replied:
I'm pleased you think I did justice to the old girl. Thanks very much Steve, that's truly appreciated, cheers.
