Bingo question - If 66 is "clickety click", and 22 is "two little ducks", why isn't 62 "clickety duck"?

This was at the Gunpowder Mills ( [link] ) in the UK. It's a museum and wildlife sanctuary set in a disused Armaments Factory. We were there for a VE day celebration event involving many different re-enactment groups.

The Spitfire came over one afternoon for a small display, and got quite low as you can see :). She did a few low passes for us to get a good look at her, and also some loops and rolls.

Very nice. I bet you're glad it did. I've got very used to seeing planes at low altitude. I live ten minutes walk from Farnborough Airfield - where they've held the airshow every other year since before I was born - so it's not often that plane photos make me take any real notice, but this and the others you submitted are really beautiful. :D

I live up the Road in Basingstoke and have a friend in Hale/Farnham. Visiting him in Farnborough week is a must ;)

Indeedy. The airshow for free. What better way to spend the weekend. :D

Stunningly clear picture mate, it almost looks like a model, especially without any blur on the prop.

You've done well to airbrush out the cotton hanging it from the ceiling ;)
