SPOTM September 2023 - Two's company

[andygolfer]

This is the SPOTM (Special Photo Of The Month) competition for September 2023, the subject is ‘Two’s company’ – any 2 aircraft in the same photo,

The subject of your entry should be a photo of any 2 aircraft, they don’t have to be the same or anything like that (but can be if you wish) and can be helicopters or hot air balloons if you wish , the only rule is that there must be more than one and less than 3 aircraft in the photo. So who can compose the most pleasing entry with just 2 aircraft? As usual both must comply with the civilian registered rule, i.e. can be warbirds as long as they have civilian registrations. If you are using a photo which includes a warbird please state the civil registration with your entry.

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 7th October 2023 - please note the extended closing date to enable anyone with a last minute photo plenty of time to prepare their entry.

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

6. 'Rule 6...' There's no rule 6 Bruce'

7. The decision of the moderating team is final.

8. 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.

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

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

My entry - how times (and places) have changed in 32 years!
A comparatively rural Heathrow on 15th July 1991 and the days of glasnost in the early post USSR years as President Gorbachev visited London to take part in the G7 summit when friendship and co-operation was well in evidence. These two IL.62s were just a small part of his aerial entourage that arrived for the visit - what a day that was! I must re-edit some of my other photos from that day.
