A flying visit

Well, I saw this today:

Battle of Britain Flyby

Not something you expect to see every day! Well, today I did, as it was related to a carnival being held in a field nearby, they’d arranged for the Battle of Britain memorial Flight to pass over.

My mother and myself stood on the hill behind our house, cameras poised. We heard the rumble of engines, then the three of them just appeared over the big tree in front of us, a LOT lower than I had anticipated, so I was zoomed all the way in and got some pretty rubbish shots to start with. Luckily, they came around again for a second pass, and I got some slight better shots. They’re not great, but they’re up on Flickr.

Quite amazing though.
