The “Battle of Britain Anniversary Air Show” 19 September 2015 was divided into ten different parts, each with its own theme and each part will have its own post in my blog.
Two silhouettes in the sky start the first part; called “The Battle of Britain Begins”.
These two Spanish built Hispano HA-1112 Buchon are painted and marked as German Messerschmitt 109’s.
They were “attacking the field” to symbolize the German determination to defeat the RAF in order to make the invasion of Britain possible. On the ground fighter pilots were at standby and as the bell rang they scrambled for their aircraft.
Soon a Spitfire was airborne to defend us…
…and above us we saw the battle begin…
…and if you are a pilot of a Me 109 seeing this in your mirror…
A Messerschmitt Bf 108 also came for an attack…
…but the RAF also had the Hurricane…
…and the air battle continued…
…while we were on the ground watching it – stunned! What a start of a great air show…
