After whetting my appetite at Eastbourne yesterday I decided to take the short hop to Biggin Hill and see the Lancasters close up. Truly glad I did, it was an amazing sight and its been years since I have stood outside an airport poking a lense through a wire fence.
Here are some of my photos from the afternoon
Locally based Spitfire MK16

Last one was shot through fense so bit blurred. Have edited black and white as not sure what works best. Hope to see Vera on ground again but have my doubts that will happen, so feel lucky to see her now.

Glad people like them, It was a magical event to see. Stil have goose bumps after they flew right over the top of us, words can not describe that at all.
