Another bonus was the ‘Spirit of Kent’ Spitfire, as the best aerobatic display of the day.

I can’t resist adding my shiny B17 shot…

You’re absolutely right about the Spirit of Kent, I’ve never heard a spitfire howling through the sky like a mustang – I assume that it’s for the same reason of air fushing over the gun ports. Either way it was just the most amazing display. Rougham’s ‘L’-shaped flight line really adds to the pilots’ creativity.

The B-17 has to be one of the easiest aircraft to photograph at air displays – always extremely shiny, moves slowly and fills the view-finder even when quite a long way off!!

I love your shot of the Stearmans; I find multiple biplanes very difficult to photograph but that picture makes them look superb.

Cheers…
