It was a wing tip away from us on 558 so I just asked if I could take a few photos and they said yes....

Cool pics, any idea why they didn't fly the Spitfire for the display?

Brilliant photos MR .... love the cockpit ones - those are the sort of details I like.... as you will already know the rear cockpit shape offends my eye as its such a pigs ear of a job compared to the Grace conversion ...(if you HAVE to have 2 seats) :p :p :p

But lovely photos non the less - appreciated :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

From the thread title I too thought I must have been to an airshow without knowing :D Pity is several years ago I worked within spitting distance of Filton and WOULD have been there myself .... but hey ho :p :D
