Wow. What an evocative silhouette.
And that's not all. Check this out.
If it looks like something out of Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines, that's because it is. It's a Bristol Box Kite, and in the movie, it was The Phoenix Flyer, piloted by Stuart Whitman. It's not often you get to see something like this pottering about.

Wow, great shot :)

Old Warden is the bestest place I know of for getting great shots. It's a tiny little airfield, unlike the big shows such as Duxford, and the pilots fly really close to the crowd and really low, so you can get good pics even with crappy cameras - some people were getting great shots with phones.
And, of course, the fact that the aircraft are so slow and manoeuvrable makes them very easily to photograph, not like trying to snap an F16 doing Mach 2.
