Photo Comment

The British military aircraft designation system, in which an aircraft type name takes the first place, is sound, but isn't it a bit potty to rename the humble King Air the Avenger? The aeroplane herself is unconvinced and still calls herself a King Air below the cockpit window. Departure day, Malta airshow 2015.
