Beautiful Comet Photo

Today I received a beautiful photo from Claudio in Italy - it's so good I wanted to share it with you all at Xmas.

Last chance checks before take off - the ploughed field behind emphasises an attractive rural airstrip in rolling countryside.  Claudio operates from a small airfield not too far from Milan. The photo shows Comet #53 registered as I-A363.

Grazie Caludio.


Merry Christmas to all the FK-12 Comet fans arond the World.
