Chequered careerer!

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 8 August 2010 in Transportation and Portfolio.

I'll make this the last one from this year's international air show held down at the beach in Sunderland. Most of these planes could be watched from many vantage points in South Shields too as they put on a spectacular display.

Well caught, but for me it would have worked better as a portrait shot, not landscape.
