A Vought F4U Corsair flying in a demo the 2026 Abbotsford Airshow. One of three Warbirds that flew in the flyover. It flew a solo demo later on in the airshow and was fantastic, pilot handled the old warbird well. This is one of my favorite planes from WWII and it's always a delight to see one fly.
Supermarine Spitfires on the ground and the Hawk T1s of the Red Arrows aerobatic team overhead. A thrilling and absorbing day at the Duxford Battle of Britain air show in Cambridgeshire, England.
More images to follow. Meanwhile, here's a link to Liang's video of the display. The soundtrack, incidentally, is the 'live' voice of Wing Commander Jon Bond, leader of the team.

Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation (CAC) CA-18 Mk.21 Mustang VH-BOB (RAAF Serial A68-104) captured during Warbirds Over Scone 2026.
Currently one of my favourite aircraft, this Australian-built Mustang appeared in striking late-1940s Royal Australian Air Force markings carrying the “04” fuselage code. Photographed with a Nikon D7000 and 300mm lens at 1/125 sec during takeoff to emphasize dynamic motion and retain propeller blur.
A RCAF CF-18 Hornet flying in the evening show of the 2022 Abbotsford Airshow. This Hornet flew along with a USAF F-15 as part of a NORAD Flyover.
This is surely one of the most recogniseable silhouettes from the Second World War era – a lone Spitfire flies above Duxford in Cambridgeshire during the recent Battle of Britain air show. Emotions to the fore!
Swiss Air Force F/A-18C Hornet captured during the 2014 NATO Tiger Meet at Schleswig-Jagel Airbase, Germany.
Two Spitfires wait side by side at IWM Duxford, ready for departure. Even at rest, these aircraft carry an incredible presence - elegant, powerful, and steeped in history. During the Second World War, sights like this were once an everyday reality as squadrons prepared to take to the skies. Today, seeing them together at Duxford still feels like stepping back in time.
The naval cousin of the legendary Spitfire, Seafire Mk XVII SX336 was built in 1946 and is currently the only airworthy example of its type flying in the world. It recently returned to the air following a major refurbishment of its Rolls-Royce Griffon engine. While it looks sleek, you can spot the rugged naval adaptations if you look closely, including the reinforced landing gear designed to withstand the demanding conditions of carrier operations.
A Lockheed P38 Lightning flying in the 2026 Abbotsford Airshow. One of three Warbirds that flew in the flyover. It was cool to see this most unique fighter plane from WWII.
