Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow- Saturday

Post by Seamus »

Morning all,

A selection of images from what was a terrific show at Duxford on Saturday. Absoluteley delighted to catch the Czechs there after not having huge success with them at RIAT- super lucky to have the sun pop out during the Hind's solo display and catch it returning to the flightline in some delicious light. The Big Wing finale was absolutely superb too, but the quality of particpants all round was top drawer, John Romain's Spitfire solos especially. I'm absolutely in love with RN201!

Great stuff and I fully endorse your opinion of RN201 as Joker!

Quite agree and I'm actually old enough to remember the Spitfire in this colour sceme at Squires Gate (Blackpool) airport in 1947, my firat airshow!. Just a small point is that it's civil reg is G-BSKP not G-BKSP and it's registered to Aerial Speed Icons. Whether that is a subset of ARC I don't know.

Thanks for that, both now corrected. Fat fingers when entering the reg, and I wasn't sure who the operator was so went with ARCo given they seem to look ater it a lot of the time!

Excellent! That's quite a few Spitfires and Hurricanes in the air. It must have been an awesome sight and sound.
Cheers,
