Ricko,
I think the usual photos of military aircraft in the Welsh mountains are absolutely first class and I would say that the photographs of the downed Luscombe probably have a legitimate flight safety merit on these pages. However, I can't help but feel that the picture in your last post is probably crossing the line and infringing the poor bloke's privacy somewhat. I'm sure the last thing he wants when he's been injured, his beautiful classic aeroplane has been wrecked and his pride severely dented is a paparazzi style situation, and it doesn't really add much to the aviation side of the story. To hear that he walked away from it is great news - I'm not sure I need to see a close up of the poor chap.

But...I don't make the rules. Maybe he cleared the photos, maybe he's fair game in a public place. I'm sure the tabloids would buy that photo but the broadsheets would choose one of the others. What do you think? I'm just interested - not picking a fight.
