Possibly my best weekend’s flying ever at the incredible @ShuttleworthTru Festival of Flight. Five displays in the Spitfire (twice), Gladiator. Hawk Speed Six and the Avro Triplane, some amazing formations, lovely weather and great people. A stunning weekend!

🔊 Crank up the volume and take in the sound of the Lancaster’s first engine start of 2025. It’s almost time to fly. The first passenger flights are scheduled for Canada Day 🇨🇦!

With just a couple of weeks to go until #EagleDays comes out, it has been so touching to be uplifted by some of the historians I admire the most. Thank you, @fredvallier, for your very kind endorsement - both your books on Coventry & Dresden are cornerstones of air war history!
