DAY OF DAYS

摘要

The second of the three big late-surnmcr Battle of Britain 75th anniversary events saw the largest gathering of Spitfires and Hurricanes of this or any other year since the war coming together at Goodwood aerodrome in Sussex on 15 September. Bracketed between the Biggin Hill 'Hardest Day' salute and the Duxford show (see pages 22-25 of Aeroplane November 201 5 and pages 26-30 of this issue), the Goodwood Battle of Britain Day tribute attracted a grand total of 32 examples of these two wonderful fighter aircraft to participate in a series of flypasts over various locations in southern England, many of which have strong links to the greatest air battle in history.
