Hi Folks

It's been a while since I went to the site run by Glen Alderton and I was really impressed as usual by the fantastic quality of his and the other posters work

Well worth a visit

John P

John,

I thought I would look at the Spitfires. The first one was taken in three weeks time and and serial should be BM597.

I didn't go any further. :)

Hi Mark

Well the first image isn't bad it's just a typical tourist shot but you are correct it doesn't inspire. There are however 122 Spit shots and largely of machines not seen on this forum that often and some especially thoses taken by Glen are first class. I think you should persist a little longer - there are also some interesting UK and European Spit shots there. Here are a few I just looked up

John,

Just pulling your leg. :)

I monitor this site regularly and have purchased original prints from Glenn in days gone by.

'Top notch' photography.

Regards,

PeterA

Awfully sorry Setter. We made some adjustments to the website and we broke your links. We changed hte whole setup. It still looks similar in appearance but there are a few small issues that need ironing out.

By the way. Thanks for the kind words.

Got this link from looking at some software that tells us where all the hits come from. Was curious on a few so checked them out and here I am.

Glenn
