[andygolfer]

This is the SPOTM (Special Photo Of The Month) competition for February 2016 and the subject is 'Radial engines',
The subject of your entry should be one or more civilian registered aircraft powered by radial engines. Aircraft which at some time have previously carried a military registration but subsequently transferred to the civil register are acceptable.

2. The photo may have been taken on any date, it does not have to be taken in the month of the competition

3. 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.

4. The competition will remain open until 23.59 (UK time) on the 1st March 2016, to enable anyone with a last minute entry some breathing space.
