Weather was fairly lousy for most of the day but it did give some dramatic skies.

Definitely would hang #1 in my "gallery" of faves.
And, I like the sepia tone you got on the second shot. I cant tell if its real sepia effect or just the color of the sky....but it works for sure.

1 and three are very good especially the sky in 1, though a closer crop may help, I personally would remove some from the right and bottom

Personally, leave #1 as is. Shows a dramatic entrance and upcoming exit for the planes.

Hi Ian,
Plenty of Spits but the weather was so grim when they where flying I did not get any half decent shots.

That no 1 shot is absolutely fabulous, the dark ominous clouds and the light on the smoke trails really make the shot, brilliant, well done,

Looking at the first picture again am I the only one who sees a 'face' in the storm clouds?
To me it looks like the two dark spots - one on each side of the planes - are eyes with what I could imagine to be an oxygen mask over where the nose would be bottom center below the plains and contrails. And there is an angled line of darker clouds from upper right down behind the planes that could be the edge of a helmet. Maybe I'm just seeing things again ...
The photo brings to mind the poem 'High Flight': "For I have slipped the surly bonds of earth ... and reached out and touched the face of God."

The poem by Pilot Officer John Gillespie Magee is amongst my favourites. Tragically he was killed in 1941
