Wing to wing with Spitfire IXb MH434

[stuart n]

Was lucky enough to fly wing to wing with MH434 on Sunday thanks to my wife buying the experience via Classic Wings at Duxford for my 40th birthday.
The wind finally dropped enough for us to fly at 3PM, what an amazing experience it was. Just one photo for now

Lovely, lovely photo! Who was flying '434? Looks like Keith Skilling from here.

Looks like Brian Smith to me. A gorgeous photo of the historic MH434 and I would love to see more! I notice you're getting some fall colors a bit early over there, as I have noticed a bit around my neck-of-the-woods as well.

I was flying in a Dragon Rapide operated by Classic Wings at Duxford. Here's a few more photos:

A Rapide! That's cool.

I was worried you might have been stuck in a Cessna...
