A few pictures from April, either there were high clouds or distortions from the heat, so many photos turned out to be poor. A short trip to EDDV proved that taking photos of aircraft on the ground was equally challenging, with the heat from the tarmac ruining all long distance shots :x

This Dash 8 was in a cloud and its props made these interesting corkscrew contrails. I toyed with brightness and contrast to make the plane visible, as its was merely grey in grey.
