Thanks for sharing the excellent photos Insight.

Must have been an awesome sound in the air.

Great Photos James

It was shut by the time I got there so I went home in a rant (170miles)

Thanks all :slight_smile:

Yeh the turn out was crazy, you should have gone to Duxford village and walked to the field opposite to watch from there.

I think the fact the Battle of Britain has had such press coverage has boosted awareness in the anniversary. That combined with a really positive weather forecast and the traffic getting into the place was just bananas. I got there at 0800!

“Spitfires Take Off”…jaw dropping.

And very neat depth of field, blurred enemy kills in the background, on “Fear the Reaper”

“Fear the Reaper” … my fav shot :slight_smile:

Thanks for sharing James.

Charlie.

Thanks guys, glad you like them :slight_smile: I quite like those 2 as well.

I should have some more to come yet, I just need some time to sit and work on them all.
