Country: | It comes over Northampton maybe 4 or 5 times a year m8 but I guess that's because we're not to far from Duxford and the like.

Country: | It really is a site to behold. The funny thing is that when I saw it fly, I wasn't that interested in WWII airplanes. I only snapped off a couple of pictures. Now I wish I had taken more.
