Whereas Henry Ford supposedly told his customers they could have their Model T in any colour, as long as it was black, the Imperial War Museum’s latest exhibition offers any aircraft you like, as long as it’s a Spitfire.
The NHS Spitfire which has toured the country as a thank you to the thousands of NHS staff who have worked tirelessly through the pandemic. Click on the images to see them larger.
The leaden winter skies weren’t enticing us towards outdoor activities today, so instead we headed for Duxford to get a closer look at twelve of this amazing machines. All of the aircraft are already part of the fleet housed at Duxford, so I’ve photographed many of them before. However, it was good to see them all together and it gave me a chance to catch some angles I’d never seen before.
