A few from a typically cloudy day at Duxford. Only my third outing with a DSLR so some funky settings were selected on the 30D
Highlight of the day was seeing all of the fighters on strength at the time in formation with the Lancaster. The fighters then broke away and performed a few flypasts.

MK356 at the time was in her authentic 443 Squadron markings, she flew all 60 of her combat sorties with the unit including D-Day.

Good selection. I do like PZ865 in those colours.

Thanks for sharing. I somehow managed to miss this show. Probably out with 34081.

Great pics, the Kuttelwascher and Bird-Wilson schemes are probably my all-time favourite schemes on the two BBMF Hurri's. Loved AB910 in the 303sqn colours too, very nice.
