BIPLANES & DAMSELFLIES...

 Biplanes & Damselflies…



Lined up like Sopwith Camels

On an airstrip at Manston, Kent

In 1917, idling ready for take-off

And combat with dogfights

For home defence,

A trio of damselflies

On a wooden rail at Holkham, Norfolk

In 2021 lingered, ready for take-off

And spectacular aerial flights

Around a sunlit fence…

Holkham and a number of damselflies landing close to the boardwalk which takes visitors from the car-park to the beach…



Reminded me of biplanes on a runway during WW1…
