There was a rumour a Spitfire was expected so when I heard that familiar growl I was just in the right place with camera at the ready to catch it on the approach - or so I thought. Wrong.
Fate decided otherwise & I missed a great opportunity once again. It landed on the grass directly into wind instead of the active runway where I was waiting. I seem to be jinxed where Spitfires are concerned. Ah well, I'll just have to keep trying.
This is the best I could do. Imagine the shots I could have got if I'd been by the bush where that chap is standing.
Sooo, I rushed round to the terminal to get some static shots. Mr Yellow Jacket just beat me to it.
Ah well, this is better than nothing I suppose.
After waiting several hours for her to take off she took a shortcut & didn't come anywhere near where I was standing. Something makes me think she's deliberately avoiding me. Sorry Ozzy, I did my best but sometimes things just don't work out.
PS. While sitting in my car by the bush in my first shot waiting for that Spit to take off I heard a whistle. I got out of the car just in time to see a Venom doing a
verrrry low pass right across the airfield.
I swear I could see the upper surfaces of the wings & I was just in the right place this time to get a classic shot too. Blast it, missed again. Not one of my best days.
