A Spitfire, it looks as. Planet who was important during the Second World War. Very nice historical picture

This is a very cool angle/perspective for this shot. Nicely done. I've probably been to the SOI ten times and have never really seen this exhibit quite like this before. And thanks for your reply to my question yesterday. good to know that I'm in good company when it comes to struggling to find the next "perfect" shot to post. I guess that's what keeps this interesting, though - it's constant challenge to go beyond what we have done before.

Impressive viewpoint . . a Mk 1A from 1939, I am told. That looks a real cool museum.

@Ronnie 2¢: thank you. yes, a favorite locale of mine - been going there all my life - certainly more posts to come!
btw, they had to remove one of the huge romanesque columns out front (the building is the only remaining full scale exhibit hall from the original 1893 'columbian' world's fair) to get the boeing 727 in there...
