Today (Saturday 26 th Sept 2020) I stood on a Kent airfield and watched a lone Spitfire chase a Messerschmitt 109 across the skies in a mock battle. 80 years ago and no more than 20 miles from where I stood today, I may have seen the same thing being fought out in anger, but I have no recollection of such.
After a few passes, 2 more Spitfires and a Hurricane joined in and watchers were treated to the fantastic sight of 3 Spitfires in "V" formation escorting the Me109 with the single Hurricane bringing up the rear.
All this accompanied by the fabulous roar of 4 Merlins and a Daimler-Benz.
What a sight, but thank goodness we are all friends now
