Nice pics.

Duxford Spitfire Show

Despite the near gale force winds toward 5.00pm which put paid to the Spitfire flypast (there would only have been eight of them anyway due to clagged weather elsewhere) I thought it as a fantastic day.

So where was the rain? Ran in to it on way home about 20 miles west of Duxford. Duxford would have been a complete washout had the rain arrived on time.

My congratulations to the organizers and pilots who put up a great show despite increasing winds throughout the afternoon.

Nice pics considering how dull the weather was. Apart from the wind Sunday was a pleasant surprise from the original forecast. Managed a photo of just about everything in sun. I thought the Red Stars were excellent, especially considering the strong wind during their routine. The finale was superb. Pity it was only eight but beggars can’t be chosers.

Spitfire Mk.V Trop

Hello All

Having spent two days out on the liveside in that wind for the last two days I can say it was worth it all in the end to get some Spits up and off the ground.

Please see a selection of my photos taken from the western end of the airfield. I have added some Spit shots but still editing the 250 I shot of Spitfires. Perhaps more later. :diablo:

Hi,
Nice pics. What was the i/d of the Spitfire Mk.V Trop please? Overslept and by the time I arrived on Sunday a couple of Spits were parked way up at the motorway end of things and without binos I could make out much in my telephoto lens.
