No...but it is British.

I will say that the subject is somewhat esoteric...if it was too easy this would be no fun.

When the above photo was taken, the aircraft was in regular revenue service with a number of sister ships so it was not some prototype or museum piece.

Accidental Cheesecake!

Seriously...I was out at the cruise night gathering spot to take pics of the local cars. I was using a lens with a special adapter to fit it to a camera for which it was not intended. The problem with this setup is the lens autofocuses very slowly. So I set up to take a picture of this Lambo and I couldn't see a thing in the viewfinder. No kidding; I wasn't even sure if I had it pointed at the car. It finally snapped into focus and took the picture. When I pointed the camera at the car, there was NO girl. When the camera finally focussed, this was the result. Bonus!



More car pics from tonight:







And the reason I would be a lousy spy. I noticed this girl standing near a truck and got the brilliant idea that I could "sneak" a picture by using the articulating viewfinder screen on my camera that would allow me to point the camera in her direction without me having to hold the camera up to my eye. I outsmarted myself. I couldn't see anything on the viewfinder screen because of the sunlight so, once again, I didn't even know if I was pointing the camera in the right direction. when I got home and looked at the picture, it was quite obvious that I had not "sneaked" anything...the girl is looking right at me.
