That is not to say we can't remember those who sacrificed so much to enable the peace and friendship we enjoy today... so it's perhaps odd that I've chosen a few very similar photographs today featuring weapons of war, not peace. It remains important, though, to remember the reason for these aeroplanes in order that we remember this history, and more important that we honour the bravery of those that flew in them.
Two feature the classic Battle Of Britain flight: one Supermarine Spitfire, One Hawker Hurricane and of course the AVRO Lancaster bomber, and the third, in a courteous nod of thanks to our cousins across the Atlantic, a North American Mustang P45.
The first was taken when I went to the Bicester Flywheel festival in 2018, the second was from my visit to the Goodwood Revival in 2007 (the first awe-inspiring time I'd seen the official Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight), and the Mustang photo was again at the Goodwood Revival, but from 2013.
Hopefully by clicking on the photos (as usual) will bring them to a pretty big size.
