One cannot ignore the utmost elegance of that aeroplane, a separate prayer to RJ Mitchell aside the Few from myself.

Very true😔✌️

A really wonderful video, the landing shots were superb, and no obstructions to spoil the view, was this an air show, or just an air test ? You were certainly in the right place to get the best angle here. Stay safe ! Chris B.

Hi Chris. Many thanks. It was a 'mini airshow' - Duxford call it a 'Showcase Day'. They have two 1 hour flying slots 1200-1300 and then 1400-1500 - using 5 or 6 different aircraft - sometimes more. As it's not a full airshow there is not really a crowd to speak of, just maybe twice as many visiting the museum as on a normal summers day. A much friendlier filming environment. The advantage is that you know in advance which aircraft are scheduled to fly. Today there is supposed to be another one but I've 'scrubbed the mission' as the weather is dire. Best wishes. Steve.
