I am off on my holidays shortly, two weeks at Littlesandcastle on Sea.  In case I can’t send you a postcard here is another sample of “what I did in the holidays”.
This is a 1940s Boeing Stearman biplane, of the type used on the original King Kong film, flying above the Star over London Zeppelin. Which while not quite as big as the Empire State building is pretty big, as you can see from comparing the two.
Boeing Stearmans were a US plane, used for pilot training during the war and crop spraying thereafter.
