The day had the potential to be ruined by mist early on, but thankfully it cleared to a warm and sunny day.

Only thing wrong with that ME, is that the engine is upside down!!

Very nice series :)

Very, very nice Stu...

+1 for the Spit in flight

The group photo begs for a little vintage treatment

I can't imaging flying either the Spit or the Bf-109 (with their narrow landing gear stance) off grass. I've often wondered how many were wrecked in ground loop incidents during the war...

Actually, grass is easier as it is a bit more "slippery" but they have to be a handful on any surface.

Nice photographs!

Hehe; another warbird spotter!

Nice photographs!

True but asphalt usually doesn't have gopher holes, ant hills, mole runs, stumps, logs, soft spots, fox dens, etc...

nice shots, have you thought about using an aged photo process on the image with the crew?
