The Lancaster shot is real, I suspect, and perhaps taken from an angle that makes it seem even more spectacular than it is. The photo below (Spitfire and Hurricane) was a photo from the same Battle of Britain Memorial flypast.
This is another great set of pictures Rob !!! I was looking for something similar to the one you posted of the Hs-129 a while ago during the Kasserine Pass GB. If you don’t mind I’m going to store that one for future use.
The Lancaster photo is spectacular !!!
Thanks my friend
Those two at the end, just brilliant!. The ground crew guy is thinking “Ah ze dessert is so romantic, soon zee shtars vill be out unt vee can sit around zee camp fire toastink bagels, maybe tonight vill be ze night” and the pilot guy is thinking “Oh sh**er if mine vife ever sees zis picture I am in ze shtrudal for sure,nah! it vill be alright no-von vill effer see it, mine grubby secret is safe for ever Ha ha ha ”
Great ,you’re putting these in for my entertainment aren’t you Rob ? please don’t shtop buddy !

All good photos and most new to me! I especially like the hellcat mislanding on that pocket carrier, the dog over the Hanomag and dragon painted on the Fokker ( me thinks it’s a Fokker D.VII).
The Henschel 129 is familiar, after all I want to build the one second plan in that photo
Second from centre. Officer: ‘why does he not salute?’ Looks at NCO’s saluting hand, with paper note, as if to say, ‘Well, get rid of that, and salute!’

Yeah the lanc… you would think it’s real!

Wondered how long before someone said photoshopped. I don’t suggest it’s vintage, probably an anniversary flyby event in the city. Still looks great.

I think the affect can be gotten by the way the camera lens is set.
