Just thought I would share a few photos from a wonderful day out at Duxford on Sunday.

 

The highlight being a flight in a Dragon Rapide in formation with a Spitfire. A birthday present from by brother and his family. Thanks,

 

de Havilland Rapide.  My ride for the day.

A fantastic experience to fly alongside such a beautiful aircraft.

A great experience for sure and nice photos!   Why was the Spit undercart partially lowered? To do with stalling speed or similar??

 

The Rapide is familiar to me. Flew in G-AIDL back in 1978/79.  ( Crikey, 40 years ago!!!!!)

I was also bought this experience (albeit with MH434) by my family and after a couple of false starts owing to the weather finally got to do it. I agree with you that it is a truly fantastic thing to do and one of those memories of a lifetime.
