Duxford D-Day Anniversary Air Show

Image
We are fairly local to Duxford and not willing to pay the high price for entry to the air shows for all the family. However we know of some nice roads to park the car in and watch, and the pictures were taken from one of these. I am not sure of the planes in the first picture. The second is  Lockheed Martin C-130J Hercules followed by a number of Supermarine Spitfires and a Messershmitt. The helicopter is an Augusta Westland Apache which was flying  practically upside down. The air display was by the Patrouille de France team flying Dassualt/Dornier Alpha Jets. Finally there are some Douglas C-47A Skytrains which disgorged the Red Devils parachutists. I took the photographs with my old Sigma 400mm lens.
