An Overcast and Slightly Rainy Sunday at Flying Legends

Hello again,

Here’s some of my haul from today. The cloudy conditions made classic top-side-type photography difficult so I got some different shots from today’s flying.

The full album is here. Selected images below.

Hope you like ’em!

Wow, superb photos Simon. Those four Spitfire Mk 1’s look amazing and such excellent formation too. I didn’t realise so many were flying now! Nice to see the ex-New Zealand Hurricane there too again. I hear that last year it was a highlight of the show flown by the master himself, Keith Skilling. Was he at the controls this year?

Seems like it’s about time to start filming the Battle of Britain remake. With all the Spit Is and Hurricanes as well as the flying 109Es it sure would make for some serious in flight non computer generated flight scenes. Maybe inject some money into getting the Spanish He111s back in the air too 🙂

Beautiful pictures!

Very nice. I’m glad I took a chance on the weather and attended, if only to see four Mk1 Spitfires in the air together. I wonder if anyone will know why EP120 parked up by the Classic Wings aircraft after landing from the balbo? The pilot was seen laying on the ground taking a photo of her on his phone.
