I saw one of these a few years back, thought it was going to drop out of the sky, it seemed to be going so low and slow and it being a big plane and all, wonderful capture.

Great shot of a truly impressive plane, in my opinion the best of the RAF's 'V' bomber series.

Nice shot! I saw one of these fly at an air show in the early 1980's. Great delta-wing plane.

The first time I saw one at all was in that James Bond movie, "Thunderball." I'd love to see one in real life.

Dear Gary, I'm rushing like crazy today!!! (See below!!!) HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!!!!!!! WOW!! I'd love to see it flying!!! It was a very classic plane!! There were so many great delta designs from Avro and Glostar among others!!! The delta may come back again! There have been a few proposals. It makes stealth eaiser to accomplish and may offer some nice near sonic benefits!!!! Very stunning shot!!!! I've fallen so far behind this last week as things have been really hectic while THE Boss has been gone. And sadly, it's going to get worse. He got back in early Friday morning from Mexico and now he and I are headed to the Far East this afternoon!! Even worse, I'm about to spend 14 plus hours in the back of a Boeing "bus" as the Cessna CJ3 is not made for ocean hopping the Pacific. Even the Citation X would need some fuel stops. It's a long darn way!! We're heading to Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Macao so far. I was wanting to "go somewhere" but not too sure about all this - a mountain top seems a lot more peaceful than all the hustle and bustle ahead of me!! Anyway, I'll be gone for ten days or so. I'll be checking e-mail and Renderosity IM's as often as I can. Love ya!!!! Meredith
