There's always a real charm in these old things! Nice capture!

[sally agnew]

I wonder how many miles this little beauty has travelled in it's lifetime, you have really captured the essence of days gone by, great image :-)

[Peter]

Superb Textures, detail and focus, another great image Babs;)

[8yearson]

That is almost pretty rust Babs, nicely done!

[Rachel]

Love all that rust, and those old rivets.

[Ruby]

Neat find and capture!

[Jane Morley]

Not sure why but at a glance it reminds me of RAF wings badges! Perhaps my brain is still on the D Day celebrations on tv.

[Hazel]

Great textures and really love the colours.

[Babs]

@chimfa I thought exactly the same Jane. Cant get away from the RAF can we.

[Babs]

@angelat @hermann @pcoulson @jackie8 @888rachel @ourrube @quietpurplehaze Thanks so much. I think old rusty things have such character.

[Eve Pulsater]

A lovely texture filled shot. I am always amazed that such marvellous pieces of engineering are allowed to just waste away.

[Pat Knowles]

This poor machine has done its fair share Babs.......looking a little worse for wear...needs a restorer!

[Kathie]

Rust, colour and texture. Great shot.

[Marnie]

Certainly lots of rust to keep the boys happy restoring it. Love it Babs, got lots of interest.

[Babs]

@creampuff @happypat @kathiecb @golftragic Thanks so much.

[Robyn]

Lovely rust detail

[Sue]

Lovely shot. I am enjoying your rust photos!

[Deb]

Wonderful find with all these great textures and you've got your rust too.

[Babs]

@flyrobin @sioux @dgrynn Thanks so much,. Just trying to spot these things before they disappear altogether.

[Laurie F]
