Because the road that this flanks also has other monuments it makes for interesting photos.

This is likely my favourite picture of 2014 because of the juxtaposition.

I think I will be back here with a better camera and some time to try and get an even better shot.

Out of genuine interest, what exact version of the Leopard is this?

Every CF5 I've seen on a post seems to have copied this aggressive upward angle. Maybe this is a compromise between the strength of the post and the strength of the engine mounts (assuming that is how the hidden end of the mount attaches to the plane).

I think Terry you are correct, but also it likely has something to do with drainage of any moisture.

I think it is a striking way of presenting them, but again we are getting off topic.

No one has answered as to what Leopard mark it is
