I went down to Southampton for the 5 spit flypast, blody freezing it was too. I braved the elements and captured this masterpiece of film making, Spielberg eat your heart out
Your camera sounds like a still camera with movie function.
I am annoyed I didn't watch out for the 60th anniv on TV - tho we did get a re-run of the Spitfire TV doc on the BBC - not seen it since 1976....
Now this is a candidate for that DVD tree I was on about that no one was interested in.... I post a DVD of it to someone who copies it and posts it to the next person etc etc.
And yes it is a still camera with movie function like most digital cameras these days. I have some photos of the event as well. They went round twice where I was watching so I got to take some photos, just in case you were wondering how I managed to film and take still photos from the same camera at the same time
They have this mock spitfire that kids could sit in, apparently you can hire it for parties.
The camera crew, I thought they could have been better positioned really, I later moved to a better location in front of them near where that pointy thing (technical term) in the distance is.
Yes it was in Irish markings not sure about the others but there was at least a MK-XIV, a couple of MK-XVI/XVIII, the 2 seater (MK-IX?) and a MK-I or MK-II.
the oldest flying spit in the world is the BBMF's Mk.IIA, ans she wasn't part of that formation, the sole spit without the cannon was the twin seater in irish air corps colours.........
