As usual at this venue, people where moved out from the front of the end of the runways just before the aircraft started to take off. I was just to the left of the end of the runway.
Though people were moved out from in front of the end of the runway for safety reasons , as it was still quite breezy with a slight cross wind, the aeroplanes took off at a slightly diagonal angle and then when in the air, turned a bit more and some ended up going over our heads anyway.
I am not usually the type that sits at the end of runway because normally I would like to identify the owner/operator of an aircraft and sometimes one cannot see the sides if they are overhead.
This is true with some of the following photos but it is nice to have a few different angles from the usual top sides.
Thanks for looking.

Great photos Martin, looks like I was standing about 100 yards south of you, on the other side of the runway “gap”. Great memories of a great day.
Looking at your photos, and mine (which I haven’t yet had time to “finesse”), it is hard to believe just how grey and grim the weather had been just a couple of hours earlier. The weather gods certainly smiled on Goodwood on 15th Sept.
I am so glad, and fortunate, to have been at Goodwood on 15th Sept, and then at Duxford on 19th Sept – two very special occasions – fitting tributes to all those involved in the Battle of Britain.
Both are events I will never forget – the skies seemed full of Spitfires and Hurricanes that week…still gives me “goosebumps” thinking about it.
