Yes - that's one of my shots. After following the link, I am amazed that
the pictures there are the best that the ministry of defence could manage.
Doesn't say much for our 'official' photographers does it ?

Hasn't always been the case. In my opinion, some of the best aviation
photography I've ever seen came from the RAF during the 1930s to 1950s.
Some of those B&W formation shots of Furies, Spitfires, Hurricanes, Hunters
and Lightnings still make the ol' ticker go pitter-pat...

In fairness, those pictures are Qinetic rather than MoD shots.
Mind you, the British taxpayer is still paying (rather handsomely)
for them.

"On retirement, XX833 ... clocked up over 5,335 flying hours .....consumed
nine engines (with an average life of 122.33 hours each)......."
Maybe the photographers did the maths too?

Almost as long lasting as my Range Rover engines.

Rusty, you are being far too modest. I consider your pictures to be first
class.
