Here are some images I took that day. I only had about half an hour because we had to get back on the road.

I have to say, much as I love me some Django and his work, the reworked Diamond Lil noseart is a straight-up stunner. That's really gorgeous work by Gary. Glad to see her back in the air... now we just need to get her a proper greenhouse and windscreen! :)

Great shots, thanks all!
