The flying display at Duxford actually started with two minutes silence for the late Queen. The well known NHS Spitfire had taken off a few minutes before and the silence was called for and superbly adhered to. All we could here was the merlin of the Spitfire rumbling behind the crowd line as the Spitfire orbited in the distance. As the silenced ended the Spitfire dived down over the super hangar, pulled up in to a victory roll and departed over the American hangar. A very poignant moment I thought. The Spit then came back and displayed, starting off the show proper which, apart from the cloud burst disrupted finale was very slick. Here are a few shots of the day.
