Time on my hands with not much happening tourism wise due to lockdowns,
edited my still shots from Flying Legends 2018.

Was a great experience, 2018's theme was the fifthith anniversary of the shooting of
the famous Battle of Britain film, a lot of which was shot at Duxford. To see Spitfires,
Hurricanes and Buchons fly off this hallowed turf was a real treat. From memory the
Spitfire display featured eighteen of the type in the air together!
While there where many highlights one that stood out the handling display of the Red
Bulls DC6, never seen a large multi engine prop plane thrown around the sky like that!
Not my footage, found a nice clip of the display on the day, certain forum member
adding in some detail as well!

God.....that idiot commentator even broke his own 45 degree rule............... Hmmmm??? 45 degree rule? I'll take a stab in the dark, no commentary when she is within 45 degrees of the crowd's viewing position, so us punters can hear the engine noise? |

Planecrazy....absolutely correct. When on the display line 45 degrees to the left, 45 degrees to the right and at crowd centre, 45 degrees elevation from my position at crowd centre. I try to talk when the aircraft is departing display line and during repositioning manoeuvres....from what I saw there - and perhaps the photographers angles made it seem worse- I broke my rule ! Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa....

So gorgeous! I'd hate to be on the polishing team.
