That is a great story from Paul and good to see he loves the planes and working with the pilots, I enjoy that part the most as well.
Would be great to have some sunsets like that here and what I wouldnt give to be able to have a B-25 camera ship in NZ!!!!
Would probably sleep in it if I could.

Even without a B-25 you pretty damn good work Gavin :-)

Cheers, Wayne.

It would be great to fly in the gunners position at the rear, facing backwards without having to strain the back and neck trying to face rearwards does really help.
These were taken last year from the back of the Herc and what a great view.

a B17 or 24 , replace them .5 s with your assortment of cameras , yeah yeah .. no one is going to buy a Flying Fortress , bugger .. anyone with any other ideas

Maybe a souped up Bristol Fighter and fix the camera to the rear gun mount for those rearward shots.
