The View From The Back…

A sad end to a majestic and iconic British aircraft…
A curious way to look at an aircraft perhaps. For a long time, I rejected this image but, for some reason, it works for me today…
When flying was exciting!
Following on from my image of the Jet Provost, here’s an image of the Piston Provost, the predecessor of the Jet Provost.
There was a time when aircraft flew without the aid of computers….
