SPOTM September 2016 - Vans RV series

Post by andygolfer » Fri Sep 09, 2016 7:35 pm

This is the SPOTM (Special Photo Of The Month) competition for September 2016 and the subject is 'Vans RV, any make of the Vans RV series of homebuilt / kitbuilt aircraft'.
Here's a link to the Vans RV website to find out more about them: https://www.vansaircraft.com/

The subject of your entry should be one or more civil registered Vans RV series aircraft. the subject(s) must be registered as a civilian operated aircraft (or retired as such) when the photograph was taken.

Photography Competition Rules :-

1. Only one entry per user, unless posting on behalf of another person who is unable to do so themselves (children for example). If this is the case, please state so on your entry..

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. 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 October 2016, to enable anyone with a last minute entry some breathing space.

5. Voting will be conducted by a poll open to all the membership shortly after the closure of the competition.

6. The decision of the moderating team is final.

7. All images must be posted in line with the usual CA posting rules (size etc.), please read them if you're not sure how to post.

8. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.

9. Please also embed the images and not links to images, if you're not sure how to do it then shout up and someone will sort it out. It is permissible to change your entry before the closing date.

10. Do not comment on other member's photos.

11. A brief description of where and when the image was taken would be nice too.

If you have any questions please PM me

Good luck everyone.

and I'll kick it off with this one from Little Gransden's annual show in August 2014, G-GNRV a Vans RV.9 which is based at the farm strip in my village landing and being filmed from inside the cockpit. The pilot informs me that it was definitely the passenger ding the filming!

good luck and lets see lots of entries please (I believe there are more RV's on the British register than Pa.28 series nowadays so there is no shortage of subjects).
