FHC Battle of Britain Fly Day 8-7-10

Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:31 pm

While it's not my favorite sky to shoot against the light rain and clouds were very fitting.

Spitfire was flown by Greg Anders/Hurricane was flown by Kevin Eldredge.

terrific photos despite the weather conditions. I still need to make my way down there sometime for one of their flying days.

My girlfriend's Dad lives in Kent and I'm sure he'd love to go to one of the remaining flying days this summer. Do you happen to have a like to their schedule of flying days?

Peace,

David

Nice pics and I like the Hurricane's nose art.

I would highly recommend Vintage Aircraft Weekend. Lots of flying all day.

Hi Al,

thanks for those links. I've sent them off to my girlfriend's dad already! Hopefully he'll be able to make it to at least one of those events.

Peace,

Lovely shot Al, it really shows the Spitfire's elegant lines off to best advantage.

I see the Seattle weather is no better than when I visited. :(

Thanks for the heads-up about the remaining dates, I may try and make it up for the Labor Day weekend event if I don't end up going to Blakesburg instead.
