I went to the Duxford Battle of Britain Air Show ... Wow! Simply Wow!
Listening to the roar of Merlins and looking up and being enthralled by Spitfires duelling with a Messerschmitt.
Then, there were appearances by today's modern fighters, the Typhoon and Lightning. I stood totally fixated, as I watched the Lightning come to a halt in front of the crowd line and as it turned towards me and just hung in the air, I sensed at that moment, with all the thunderous noise around me, an amplifying lump in my throat telling me that 'we are back in the game!'
Then, to conclude a brilliant day, a fly past by a formation of Spitfires and Hurricanes!
