Default RAF Photographer Of The Year's Top Ten Snaps

Some pretty nice shots here...I particularly like no 5 and the reason for the shadows in the picture.

I like the one showing the Merlin roar to life on the Spit with the flames coming from the exhaust.Course I am an engine/mechanical guy so that kind of thing sparks more thought for me.
