Re: HAC Hurricane Air-to-air over Dover
Excellent photos, are they the company that allow to fly with the Mk. 5 Spitfire?

Re: HAC Hurricane Air-to-air over Dover
Hi Rob.
Very nice shots, we don't see many of the Hurricane. I was on the Memorial site Thursday and Friday for a meeting and hosting a visit, and we were a little worried about the weather, but you seem to have been lucky. Did you get any pictures of the Hurricane over the Memorial. You will not believe it, but on Thursday we actually got someone complain about the Spitfire flying round.

Great pictures of the Hurricane. I flew with Action Stations on Thursday morning with the Spitfire BM597. Still smiling three days later for what was a great photo opportunity. Still wotking my way through my pictures.

The Mustang won't do what a Spitfire does, but it does it over Berlin.

Hi Rob.
Thank you for that, they did seem to be flying higher than usual at the weekend.

Lovely set of shots! Glad the weather was kind in the end, I should think the conditions were just right
Re: FULL POST - HAC Hurricane Air-to-air over Dover
Superb set of shots, must be a great experience to fly over the white cliffs with such an iconic aircraft,
