Muddy Magical Goodwood 75th Anniversary Battle of Britain Flypast

Here a a few of my photos from a truly amazing magical day at Goodwood. The Great British weather had left Goodwood a muddy mess and on arrival it was grey wet and horrible. The flypasts were delayed from 1200 to 1400 and by this time the weather had improved greatly, it’s a day I will not forget for a long long time, well done to Goodwood and Boultbee for arranging this fine tribute to “The Few”

Fantastic photos ruined by an extremely over the top water mark.

Thanks for the kind comments, Snafu they were taken on a Canon 70D with a 100-400 lens. It was a fantastic day.

Excellent photos. The first two in particular.
What kit did you shoot them on?

Nice photos Martin – haven’t been through mine yet. What a magical two hours that was. Will we ever see anything like it again I wonder..?

What a great event, and good to see some many spectators donating to the RAFBE collectors, and many donating paper rather than loose change too. Was a little surprised to see how many spectators there were there, but despite the delays, and the muddy car-parks and footpaths, the atmosphere was great too.

Well done to all involved at Boultbee and the Goodwood Estate, and thanks to all the aircraft owners, pilots and ground crews for making it happen.

A fine tribute to “The Few”.
