The first is infront of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. I always wondered how they flew on such thin and stubby wings.  The last two are of a Grumman F7F Tigercat. This was the first time I had seen one fly. We were lucky enough to catch the Biggin Hill Airshow in 2000. A great venue for such an event considering the fields history.   Bob Hammond |

Manassas, now that is a name with historic context. I would not mind visiting American Civil War battlefield sites. That is the trouble with the world and photography, too many nice areas to visit and photograph. A pleasant problem though.

Bob Hammond Bob, another battlefield to consider is Antietam, also known as Sharpsburg. It was the single bloodiest day of the entire war. But, here are some pictures taken at Manassas last November with a Spotmatic II and 28mm f/3.5 Super-Takumar on Agfa 200 film. It was a damp, cloudy and rather miserable day but good for walking. A monument to Stonewall Jackson.  A monument to the man who gave Stonewall his nickname: General Bee.  A cannon pointing toward Henry House where heavy fighting took place.  An artillery casson of the type used by both sides in the war.  Walker |
