| Your camera sounds like a still camera with movie function.
I am annoyed I didn't watch out for the 60th anniv on TV - tho we did get a re-run of the Spitfire TV doc on the BBC - not seen it since 1976....
Now this is a candidate for that DVD tree I was on about that no one was interested in.... I post a DVD of it to someone who copies it and posts it to the next person etc etc. | |

Country: | Good stuff R988, I would of liked to have been there rather than watch it on BBC News 24.

| or none.... ho ho. Wonder which Spits they are and did they rehearse?
The photo from underneath shows a neat formation - 4 cannon Spits (MkXIVs?) plus one with MGs or nowt.... a Mk II? Maybe it is CG's machine.
See BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/e...re/4775726.stm
must have been the 2-seater coz AH went up again...
Great pics there. The 2-seater has an unusual markings scheme... Irish? | |

Country: | Yes it was in Irish markings not sure about the others but there was at least a MK-XIV, a couple of MK-XVI/XVIII, the 2 seater (MK-IX?) and a MK-I or MK-II.
