Hi Steve,

Thanks very much for your quick visit here. This is pretty much the same spot we visited to see the Lancaster. www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/46658500
Only difference being this time the crops are wheat not rape seed...
I do have a picture of all seven Hurricanes together, and a few other aircraft too, which will come eventually.

Best Wishes
Peter

PS, sorry for lack of contact recently, I've been away again!

Thank you so much Gudrun.

I had no idea where the aircraft would go, so very many pictures to choose from!
In this location it always looks like the aircraft are low over the trees.. Don't know why!

Best Wishes,
Peter

Cracking capture of these fine historic aircraft Peter. The image is all the better for the presence of the Hurricanes in the background.

All the best, Doug

Hi Doug,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
There were seven Hurricanes flying that day, and for the finalle all of them flew round in formation. A nice sight!!!
In this case I think the idea was 'Fighter escort for the bomber'
Best Wishes, (slightly late) HFF, and a Good Weekend,
Peter
