Flight Path

Today saw the anniversary of the most intensive day of fighting in the Battle of Britain. To commemorate this event a large collection of Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes gathered at Goodwood to begin memorial flights over ten different routes round the south of England.

 The Gorse Fox selected a spot near the Community Centre and, along with quite large group of locals, watched from the top of the bund.

He tried to take a number of photos and some video, but it was not his most successful cinematographical exercise.

It was, however, a wonderful thing to watch as these magnificent machines took to the air and dispersed in small flights across the country.

An opportunity to remember those who sacrificed so much to maintain our freedom at a time when freedom seems so precious - given the torment of the Middle East.
