8th AF 80th Anniversary Flypast - IWM Duxford

Post by James Cutting » Tue Feb 01, 2022 5:36 pm

Not seen many from Duxford so here's my take - Light was bright but challenging behind the aircraft as they passed, but happy with the results :thumb: Shame I couldn't squeeze them all in, but still nice to see nonetheless.

Well caught. Was a tad breezy there today. I believe we chatted while waiting for them to arrive.

Thanks Nick, not my average lunch break for sure!
