Default Duxford last sunday Dakota and spitfire

Griffin engined Spitfire -- don't know the Mark # but they did 'clip' the
wings on the late models.

Hi
As Waddo was canceled last sunday went to Dux instead and was lucky
enough
to see some flying.
Just wondering if anyone here has a pic of the Dakota either landing
or
taking off as i was not able to get any.
Thanks





BR The plane in the background may not be a spitfire....they had an
BR elliptical
BR wing and that one is squared off at the tips. I could be wrong but
BR maybe
BR its the angle I'm looking at it.

It's a Mk XIV clipped wing Spitfire, I think

Cheers,

Indrek Aavisto
