Would you like to see your photograph on the Homepage for a month?

and it will be judged along with other entries to decide the winner who will have their photograph displayed on the Homepage for one month. There will be a new theme each month and your photograph must be relevant to this. Remember only one picture per person and it must be a photograph that is owned by you.(see Rules below). Next months theme is 'F-86 Sabre'. Lets see some of your best photos of the North American F-86 Sabre. Looks like the F-86 owned by Golden Apple Trust, and operated by Aircraft Restoration Company at Duxford will be displaying in the UK in its last season before going to America next year. Click here if anyone has any suggestions for future themes. Please send in your entries by July 25th and the winning photograph will be on the Homepage on August 1st 2009 for a month.
