This was a bit like Masterchef with the "It was a very difficult decision, and you've all done remarkably well, but we have made a decision..."
Aviation Photography has a few problems over some other forms of photography. You can't control the lighting (God does that, or a lighting engineer); You can't control the subject ('Can you just move to the left a bit'); generally the subject never does the manoeuvre you want, when you want; things get in the way (crowd control, people wandering in shot or just loitering in the wrong place); and you can't always choose where you want to be, and if you do, the subject invariably does what you want somewhere else.
So, instead of picking the Asian candidate (default in Masterchef) I considered where it was taken, at what venue, probable circumstances/control over events, available lighting, composition, technical expertise and finally, just how fortunate it was to do all the things you can't have any say over to get 'that' picture. What it was is of no concern (Military/Civil/Alien).
That whittled them down a bit, to the excellent panning, pressing the button at just the right split second, in focus, exposure limits, and so on.
My opinion?
No.2.
It doesn't fill the frame, but with the cloudscape, somehow that doesn't matter, and anything that brings out the B.2A leading edge wing extensions, just did it for me.
Apologies to the others, but you may have noticed, I didn't even have anything to enter....

VOTING CLOSED! Thank you to everyone who voted in this year’s one-off (hopefully) version of our annual photo competition - 49 votes were received in total via the forum and directly via email. From the comments received and the spread of the votes, it is clear that you had great difficulty choosing between the high standard of entries. Indeed every one of the 10 shortlisted candidates received at least one vote so they all achieved favourite status in one MKAS household! In the end, it was a very close run thing but the winning entry with 9 votes was Richard Macauley’s beautiful night shot of the Sea Harrier. Runner-up was Ralph Greenwell’s lovely cloudscape featuring a Vulcan with 8 votes and joint third place went to Richard Lambert’s C-47 and Richard Macauley’s F-16, each with 7 votes. Congratulations to Richard, a first time entrant (along with Ralph) – a highly prized Winners Certificate will find its way to you shortly! The shortlisted entries have been re-arranged into order on the website and show the number of votes cast for each. www.mkas.co.uk/2021-entriesLet’s hope that we can return to our regular format of competition next year but many thanks to everyone who delved through their archives to contribute this year.
