All in all I'm quite pleased with what came out - and particularly pleased with the performance of a second hand CZ 3.5/200mm lens.

A little history concerning Whitby and Spitfires: The first German bomber shot down over the UK crashed in flames close to Whitby, the first German POW was taken prisoner in Whitby, and the Spitfire pilot who shot them down was Peter Townsend, later Princess Margaret's boyfriend - not the member of The Who, he's Peter Townshend with an "h".
