Incredible moment Red Arrows delight crowds by creating heart shape in the sky at Battle of Britain Airshow
LOVE it . . . six Red Arrows hold their formation as two others circle, creating a heart shape around them.
Eight planes from the flying force delighted crowds of 32,000 at the Battle of Britain Airshow as thousands of enthusiasts flocked from around the globe to the premier display.
Flights were staged above the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, Cambridgeshire, which celebrated its 50th year of running air shows.
Some 18 operational Spitfires and four Hurricanes starred whilst two vintage Lancaster Bombers and a B-17 “flying fortress” also took to the skies.
Duxford Aerodrome served as a former RAF base during the final years of World War Two.
The museum’s Assistant Director Tim Strofton said: “We’re the premier aviation museum in Europe and this is what Duxford does best.
“People come from all over the world because they’re not going to see any of this anywhere else.
“The opportunity to see 18 spitfires, hurricanes flying in formation doesn’t happen in any other places.”
