2. The photograph must have been taken during the month in question.
3. The photo can be of any subject you like, as long as there is some civilian aviation connection - shots of military aircraft at civilian airfields do not qualify though.
4. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc. are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not, (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot, for example). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.
5. The competition will remain open until 23.59 (UK time) on the 1st September 2015, however this may be extended due to late posting and demand.

8. All images must be posted in line with the usual CA posting rules, size etc. , read them if you're not sure how to post etc.
9. Please also embed the images and not post a link to an image as it makes it harder to judge, if you're not sure how to do it, shout up and someone will sort it out.
10.Do not comment on other member's photos.
11.The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.

F-WGVA Payen Pa 49 Katy - Le musée de l’Air et de l’Espace Paris Le Bourget 21 August 2015
According to Wiki - Roland Payen was a pioneer of tailess and delta winged aircraft. This all wood turbojet powered tailless aircraft was first flown in 1954. When the flight testing programme ended in 1958 Payen donated the aircraft to the Museum.

Super late entry (sorry). Thought I'd give the competition a try as I've just found out about it.
