HAC Spit at Duxford – 06Mar10

I though I saw something flying over Duxford as I was traveling in on the bus this morning but couldn’t see anything out on the airfield when I arrived. It was mentioned on the FOD desk that a Spitfire had been doing some circuits. I spotted it up by the Land Warfare Museum so I was off on a brisk route march hoping that it wouldn’t start up gain until I got there. As it was nose on, I didn’t know which one it was until I saw ‘Tracey Le Tracteur’ and just as I got there, Charlie Brown fired up the Merlin of the HAC Mk.Vb Spitfire and departed Duxford for I know not where.

Apologies for the silhouettes, but I was shooting into the sun which was still low in the sky.
