Thanks Gary. The photos on the web have turned out much more
saturated than they were in PS. The software for making a website
(RapidWeaver from realmacsoftware) seems to have changed the curves
or something. Diana Britten, for instance, is pretty suntanned, but
not ruddy!.
The camouflaged AN-2 is based at Little Gransden and the owner (Mark
Jefferies, an aerobatic ace) has tarted it out inside with Connolly
leather etc ... as executive transport. But it uses 200l/hr in the
cruise, so the sums might not be too good...
The AN-2s took off in formation and did a formation display for a few
minutes! That was an even stranger sight...
