Must say that the ‘dodgy’ formation holding reminded me of pictures of those pre-war Italian Air Force displays with ‘planes all over the shop!

There was something particularly evocative about the views of the three mark V Spitfires and the Me108 parked by the control tower from the raindrop covered window of G-AIDL, before anybody complains about the slightly more modern vehicles creeping into the shots, remember that ‘Legends is a perfect place to stand back, squint a little and employ a little imagination! It was easily the best Duxford show I have ever seen (OK, of about four but they were good ones!), the organisers and everybody involved did a brilliant job! All of the Rapide related fun was the icing on the cake! Roll on next year… (ps. any more Rapide pics out there, these fantastic machines deserve a thread of their own!)
