I went to the Duxford Airshow today with Jack Harrison. Good show that was. Thanks Jack for the invite! The highlight was easily Guy Westgate's stunning glider aerobatics display. Plenty of cool powered displays too of course.

| The Sukhoi taxiing to the runway. | The Hawk was fiendishly hard to photograph while it was performing fast aerobatics. This was the best I could do. | And finally, last but not least, the Spitfires doing a display. Again poor light levels and an incoming shower made photography challenging. | |||
