2500 pounds for 20 minutes flying. Peter took the controls and they did a Victory roll. He had the time of his life!

Must be worth every penny

Some nice shots Gwyn of what was obviously a very special occasion. Only setting I would have really concentrated on changing would have been to have set a lower shutter speed...say about 1/320 - 1/400th to have got a bit of prop blur and introduced more 'movement' into the image.

What a great present though.

Again, number six is the image to stand out. No wonder he looks so happy. The weather was good for the flight and I can only imagine what it must have felt like up there in that aircraft. What a way to celebrate an 80th birthday. Good, detailed images.

Best regards

It must have been something very magical to be in that Spitfire. What a fantastic 80th present!

6 & 7 for me!

Thanks again for your comments.

Propeller movement would have been nice, but I am just happy I managed a few photos in focus.
