Is this art or poetry?

I'm not sure whether you'd all class this as art, there's certainly a measure of poetry about it.

Here's the oldest airworthy British built aeroplane, the 1912 Blackburn Mercury, still doing what it was built for. You can just smell the character of this wonderful 'plane.

Thanks much for posting these - they're all beautiful.

You've got some beautiful photographs, Rob. I just nabbed the AVRO Tripe and Bristol Boxkite for my background.



Thanks for sharing these!

Thanks for the comments everyone, it's nice to be amongst kindred spirits.
