Fantastic day at Duxford, if only the weather had remained the same as it was in the morning!

An interesting selection, and the three spits is a good catch, but why are the pilots running away from the aircraft?

Supporting WZ507.

The Americans claim victory right at the end.

Well with only 10 hours average training on Spitfires and an 80% chance of not surviving their first combat sortie, I don't really blame them.

errr I could'nt get in by the way so went back to Yorkshire in a rant.

The b&w re-enactors are excellent :clap: - not that the rest aren't good too! They'd lend themselves to a caption competition.
