Well done - I normally find these moving far too fast for good in-flight photos.
@KevinFRK Swifts are aptly named. I took over 2000 pictures (often of empty sky that contained a swift a fraction of a second earlier) to get a few I’m happy with.
I can well believe it - but good payoff for your patience!
