Just a couple of photos from me from the Southampton 60th Anniversary of VE Day event held today.
The aircraft were a fair distance away from the shore (by my camera standards), so the quality is not great…
In addition to these three beauties, the Corsair, Hellcat and P-47 Thunderbolt, The Fighter Collection also sent their P-40, Hurricane, Spitfire V and Wildcat.
The BBMF commenced their display routine at 1523 🙂
Both cropped to a certain extent!

It was a shame, the commentator said himself that he had a few minutes to spare, so he’d talk about the aircraft for a bit – and then he only managed 4 or so of them. It would have been nice to have known who was flying what, if nothing else…
Ah well, it made up for not seeing either Cat in the air at Duxford yesterday… 🙂 😀

Nice shot of the Wildcat (or so the commentator would have had you believe) in the first shot…
Shame we couldn’t have had a solo display by one or more of the TFC’s aircraft though. The Air Atlantique DC-3 was nice to, particularly being one of their more interesting ones (with a chin)…
