The plane was painted with a flash light at f16 for eight seconds. The subject was illuminated with 2 canon ex 580 flashes on either side of subject, then masked out. F16 was a bit too extreme for the small strobes. In retrospect, f8 would have been more manageable ( unless you have the coin for portable studio strobes.)
The Blackburn Dart was a British carrier-based torpedo bomber biplane, manufactured by Blackburn Aircraft, which first flew in 1921. The Dart was the standard single-seat torpedo bomber used by the Fleet Air Arm from 1923 until 1933. A modified variant was also sold to Greece, where they served with the Greek Navy.
Poor quality! Taken about 4 1/2 years ago. I was taking pictures in the garden when I realised that this plane was going to fly right between me and the moon. Camera was set up wrong but I had to be quick, not to miss it!
This cracked German plane is a Junkers W 34 hi. This version of the W 34 (the 'hi' extension) was mostly used by the Luftwaffe to train pilots and radio operators. Hence the sorry state of the machine.
The W 34 hi was equipped with a BMW 132 A/E radial engine and could transport 6 passengers and was equipped with improved radio- and direction finders.
There is something peculiar with the civil registration D-ONEZ (that is what I could make of it), which is not listed in available listings of German civil airplanes of the time. Probably an omission ? At least the date when the picture was taken was after 1933 when the swastika was assigned.

This evening, I'm uploading a few photos that have been "on deck" for a while. I was watching people fish in the bay when I spotted this plane.
Using an electric planer right up to the edge or on rabbets often produces unsatisfactory results, as the machine leaves a lip that has to be removed by hand—unless you have the Festool HL 850 planer. The HL 850 lets you cut flush to an adjacent surface because it can plane across the entire width of the rabbet. Because the planer head is mounted to one side, it sits flush with the opposite side of the planer housing. The retractable side guard makes planing safer, and it swings up and to the side as the rabbet depth increases. Planing up to the edge in deep rabbets is no longer a problem.
