Thanks, mate. You've taken some real good ones (in the P990i thread) too.

@ tequilacat:
Yes, what a great plane the Spitfire was. Besides the Mk.V pictured(plus a 'clipped wing' Mk.V for low level interceptions), they also have a few Mk. IX and Mk.XIV Spitfires at RAF Duxford in Cambridgeshire.
Will post some more 'plane pics (taken at Duxford yesterday) later.
Taken today at one of London's fave tourist traps, i.e. the iconic Camden Market and Camden Lock:

Two sepia shots taken at Camden Lock. Again, I thought the subject matter suited the 'dated' looking effect:

great photos again thanks
Kind of quiz for me:) two first undescribed are b-17 and ju-52
What's about the last jet ? I believe it's some WestEuropean made in 1960s but don't guess exact brand

@ tequilacat:
You're right about the 2 you mentioned, i.e Junkers Ju52 and B-17 Flying Fortress.
The Boeing B-17 in the picture is a 'G' model, which had the additional 'chin turret' in the front, under the bomb aimer's location.
As the name on the side of the fuselage depicts, it was used in a Hollywood movie about that B-17 crew. The movie was also called 'Memphis Belle'.
About the jet in last pic. That legendary jet fighter hailed from your country, and what an awesome performance it had for its time.
That is the Russian Mikoyan Gurevich MiG-21, NATO codename 'Fishbed'.
It didn't have the same level of avionics of the American F4 Phantom of the same era, but on that single engine (compared to the Phantom's two) it was still faster and could out-fly the Phantom. It was the better training of the US pilots compared to the Viet Cong pilots that helped keep things in their favour, as regards air-to-air combat anyway... 
The MiG-21 pictured wasn't in USSR markings though.

shame to me
I first supposed it was one of MIG family (familiar nose cone) but briefly checked and photos I could find were slightly different
I can only guess it's early (or training) modification ? |

And we had a lot of funjokes from that very time, about NVA fighter pilots Lee Sy Tsyn and Van You Shin
which, prononced as single words, give perfectly russian last names

@ tequilacat:
I'm not sure which variant of the MiG21 that particular one is; there were quite a few variants and modifications:
