BBMF 50th Anni Bash, Wow.....You don't see this every day!!!

Today Duxford held host to the "Battle Of Britain Memorial Flight's" 50th Anniversary show, and I have to say the RAF pulled out the stop's to show off some great flying.
From Typhoon & Spit IIa through to mass fighter an bomber formations. At one stage it could of been a mini Legends.
