Thank you for the compliment !
As mentioned earlier, a new attraction this year was the 'Ultimate Fighter Team', with Richard Grace flying the Buchon, Dave Puleston in the Spitfire LF.Vc, John Gowdy in the P-47, and Andy Durston with the TF-51D.
The Team provided a stunning display of precision, close formation aerobatics, no mean feat in such different types, as well as dual displays in the P-47 and TF-51D, with a 'dog fight' between the Buchon and Spitfire.
Unfortunately, what could have been some of the better shots, were against back-lit cloud, or direct into the sun, resulting in silhouettes, but I managed to grab a few reasonably decent pics, divided between this and the next post.

The Spitfire LF.Vc engaged in a 'dog fight' with the Buchon, eventually out-turning the 'enemy' and getting on its tail, when it gave it a good talking to !
With the Buchon smoking, the pair went off to become friends again, whilst the P-47 and TF-51 performed a dual display, before the four aircraft joined in formation again.
Glad you're enjoying this coverage of Flying Legends 2019, and I'll be back soon with more of the show.

Yes, and I was slightly concerned that they might get damaged, bumping into clouds !!!

Yep, big, nasty, purple- grey ones, trying to bend Spitfires !!!
Oh oh. But you had those great p51's to save the day I see. They will scare away the clouds so the Spitfires can fly safely.

I see you guys can speak fluent sarcasm.
Great pics Terry. Judging by your black X now I think the fence was there the last time I attended. I managed to sneak a spot there long enough to get some taxi shots but didn't catch any flying. They were landing and taking off toward the west then, opposite to what you have this time around.

Good stuff Red Two - looks like you've definitely got the hang of the 'new' cameras.
Nice work Terry. Of the Battle of Britain display, wot, no 'Urricanes??? The purists will have something to grumble about; "The Urricane shot down more enemy aircraft blah blah..."
That Spitty-Buchon-Mustang-P-47 display looks terrific and reminds me of the Breitling Fighters with Ray Hanna in the lead.

Thanks Grant.
Yes, strange that there were no Hurricanes, more so as Gary (Geedee) informed me that there were seven at Old Warden the week before Legends.
