Today, our local Spitfire (yes, we have one!) celebrated ten years of flying since her restoration and luckily I spotted the post on Facebook. As you can see from the below, there were questions on whether this celebration should go ahead but I like that second paragraph:
So, I raced home after work and grabbed my camera and tore out to Ohakea on the Tenere (glad I had chosen her today instead of Mighty Mouse). I got there in plenty of time so got some practice in with a Hercules tooling around and some choppers doing choppery things.
Eventually, the side show ended and we heard a lovely noise...It's a real shame that it was such a sunny day - it made very amateur photography pretty tricky. But I did enjoy the short airshow - in particular one really nice low pass - magic!
