SPITFIRE AT 90

90 years ago today, Captain Joseph Summers flew the Spitfire Prototype for the first time out of Eastleigh at exactly 4:43pm, upon landing he said “don’t change a thing”. Over the 90 years that have passed since, the iconic spitfire design has undergone various iterations and modifications including transforming it from an armed interceptor fighter, to an unarmed photo reconnaissance platform as well as inspired thousands of aviation fans around the globe.

I’ve added to this post, in order of “marks” some of my favourite spitfires that I have photographed as well as some other shots from the incredible Sywell Airshow mass formation and tail chase from 2024 at the end!

WEEKEND VISITOR

Nice to see of the out and about at the weekend - spotted them heading back my way so took a gamble on a new location just out of town to see if it would pay off and was rewarded with a lovely Apache straight over the top of me!

RAFALE ON FILM

The other week I took my 1980s Zenit TTL Film camera with a roll of APX100 loaded and decided to snap off a roll of film alongside my digital photos. Whilst maybe not the best shots, it really made me think about the photos!

Camera - Zenit TTL
Lens - Helios 44mm f2.0
Film - Agfaphoto APX 100

Developed and scanned by the very helpful people at .co.uk
