Well the last flight of a fine Sunday's flying. I have been lucky enough to be asked to return a Supermarine Spitfire to Duxford, a short 25 minute hop to the south.
I have just left Fenland airfield - you should hear this plane roar!

Although a little hazy, the weather has picked up since I flew into Fenland earlier on.

I must of took me less than a minute to climb up to 3oooft - a big difference from my Stationair.

I'd wave at the camera if I could release my grip from the controls.

This is a VFR flight and I spot Duxford through the haze and turn towards my destination.

I decide to flyby Duxford - the urge to show off is too great!

Here is Duxford, I have been here as a spectator at airshows in the past.

I think I have their attention, time to turn around and land this baby.

Running parallel to the runways I prepare to come in on the grass strip of Rwy21.

Down in one piece, this is one Sunday I won't forget.

This 3 leg flight was great fun and a great way to spend a Sunday. It cost me a few quid in fees but was well worth it. It'll be back to flying scheduled flights tomorrow to earn more money to fund my next daytrip.
