Spitfire

Supermarine Spitfire doing a flypast over RAF Wickenby following this afternoon’s Battle of Britain Memorial Service at the airfield.

The flypast was publicised for 1545 and he arrived at 1520. The RAF were never on time in all my years in HM Forces so it was no surprise.

Light was pretty rubbish, grey overcast clouds, but I was quite pleased with this shot.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.

Great close up

Neat capture

[Richard Brown]

Nice top side Phil. I always notice the BBMF are either early or late. The Red Arrows however always seem to be bang on time!

[moni kozi]

I find this an astonishing shot!

[Carole Sandford]

Great capture. All over far too soon, they don’t hang around!

[Mags]

Fantastic capture!

[Phil Sandford]

@carole_sandford They have loads of places to fly over on their sorties, so do a couple of passes and push off to the next location. Must admit I was very surprised they were early, they were invariably late in my experience (days late quite often)

[Jean]

Great capture of it!

[George]
