I was fortunate to witness and photograph daring air displays, dogfights, and aerobatics – ending with the splendor of the now famous Duxford Wing, Spitfire, and Hurricane flypast in the skies where history happened.
The images below were taken using professional Sony cameras and telephoto lenses and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.
Experiencing the sounds, smell, and aerobatics of these wonderful aircraft is very different from the static display of aircraft at the RAF Museum in Hendon.
Read my post about the ‘Save the Skymaster’ project.
It was amazing to see so many WW2 aircraft getting ready for takeoff at Duxford, especially to see the mix of airplanes from the allies and Germany. Having the german fighters sitting next to Spitfires and Hurricanes was an incredible sight.
By achieving a mass of firepower and density a fighter “wing” would achieve remarkable results against axis fighters and bombers in WW2 battles over Great Britain.
This B-17G Flying Fortress was built in 1945 and is the only airworthy B-17 left in Europe.
The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang is an American long-range, single-seat fighter and fighter bomber used during World War II and the Korean War, among other conflicts.
These immensely powerful airplanes thrilled the audience with their speed, sound, and maneuverability.
An incredible formation of Spitfire, Hurricane, and Wildcat fighters along with a couple of Lysanters, a Soviet Yak3 fighter with aircraft landing after their display.
These images were taken at the Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow, 2022 using Sony cameras and telephoto lenses.
The IWM Duxford website currently lists the following aircraft for the Battle of Britain Air Show 2022 flying list.
