This Hun won my most photogenic award, it was almost impossible to take a bad picture of it!

On Takeoff... it was only because of the curvature of the Earth that it managed to get off the ground!

On the Go Around after getting too close to another jet on the runway..note full A/B and speedbrake still out quite high upwind..I reckon he forgot to retract it, he got it up soon after this shot

Just breath-taking photos there Wally! The "Hun" is incredible in particular I think. Nothing like a bare metal Century Series bird!

Cheers
