As we grabbed a spot on the banking of the Land Warfare Hall soon after arriving on Sunday, I didn't get many ground shots, concentrating on the airborne opportunities, including a few atmospheric shots (aka 'Arty Farty Stuff'!!).
Here's the highlight of the show, with the massed Spitfire/Seafire formation.
After a few circuits, the formation of 17 aircraft eventually split, with a wild 'tail chase' zooming past at low level from right to left, climbing in an arc to the south of the field, whilst a second, line astern element, screamed past in the opposite direction, providing a kaleidoscopic blur of elliptical wings criss-crossing the sky - just madly breathtaking !
I'll post those I managed to just about catch passing each other, in the next installment.
Obviously, the climbing arc of fighters were some distance away as they turned for another pass, making photography tricky, in as much as they were specs in the sky if one attempted to capture the entire formation, but I'll try to post some pics of this later, to give an impression of the spectacle. Meanwhile, these pics might go some way to demonstrate the fantastic sight and sound of all those 'Spits' doing their thing !
Oh, and I forgot to mention, this formation did not include the BBMF's four Spitfires, which displayed separately with the Flight's Hurricanes, shown earlier.
