Tassie Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 With all the posts about Spitfires of late I thought this video might be of interest. The sight of 16 Spitfires flying together again is a sight to behold! http://www.airshows.org.uk/2010/airshows/duxford-battle-of-britain-airshow-review.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Kane Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 My Grandfather's old Spitfire is in there. The AB910. It was the plane that he flew on D-Day. His name was George Lawson and he just passed away a couple of years ago. He went over to the D-Day Memorial Flight to see his old Spitfire fly and was really pleased to see that it is still flying. It is great to see the AB910 is still flying proud.....Thanks for posting this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker50 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 That was awesome. The four Hurricanes flying together was also pretty cool. Mike Gutierrez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He watched the entire days events unfold from above. It wasn't very well organized and he was also shot at by friendly fire, but he made it out OK. If I recall correctly his radio antenna was damaged from friendly fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
