A year ago today we were trying to get to see as many of the cars as we could in between running our stand. We closed for a long lunch-break so that we could listen to the fabulous Eureka Jazz band and watch the Spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight fly overhead. It made 3 passes over us then waggled its wings in farewell. A fantastic sight & spine-tingling sound as always.
I got a phone call from the pilot after he had landed back at RAF Coningsby to check that it had all gone well, which got an enthusiastic "Yes thank you!" from me. He said that he'd had to fly 2 Spitfires that day - "Well, someone's got to do it!".
