Thanks everyone for contributing to this thread and fuelling my knowledge of this lovely aircraft! It was thanks to mum who encouraged me away from the telly, you see I live next to Rougham airfield and we get light aircraft over the house all the time & there was me thinking ‘oh it’s nothing much’.
If I had got up quicker I might have been able to grab the camera!
It did have a distinctive sound indeed! Only wish it had made a stay over at Duxford as I could have had a look at it, but that’s being selfish.
I guess the nearest I have to a photo of one would be the land based version seen at a couple of shows last year..

Well I know nothing and the P166C is probably more than simply a non amphibious version!
On the back of my Legends t-shirt..
Haha!
Pouvez-vous imprimer certaines de ces t-shirts pour les prochaines années Legends Volants ?
I ended up with a very Gallic accent at the end of the show for some reason! He certainly does jabber on a little too much!
Talking of French people there was a lovely French lady in Romain Hugault’s tent smiling at everybody!

Some of the superb Spitfire action from XH558 day at Duxford.
Arrived at Duxford just in time to see TD314 landing after a short display in the morning.
and finally a four wheeled Great British racer spotted in the car park at the end of the day.
Cheers

Just five minutes of Vulcan action was all it took to draw one of the largest crowds I’ve seen at a non “event” day at Duxford.
A few minutes but worth the trip even though half the day was a wet one. Lots of Spitfire action as well, but here’s a few from my highlight of the day.
