Avpics Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 One of my specialist subjects is aviation in many aspects, which sometimes will include remembrance flypasts. Emotional times for many and sometimes difficult to photograph, both physically and emotionally. So anything that could be termed as remembering or honouring those that have gone, or something from the past being remembered or celebrated. Please submit up to three and they must be yours and on Alamy! Submissions will close June 30th at midnight GMT. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
