RE: Shuttleworth Pageant pictures

Very nice. Had a quick look around your site, and especially liked the Spitfire takeoff at Rougham.

If I remember correctly, BM597 was the first aircraft to display after that thunderstorm - the prop tip vortices in your photo are magnificent. As Charlie was carrying out the engine run up, I had phoned a friend to let her hear what a Spitfire take off sounds like and got her voicemail instead, so I just let the Spitfire talk instead. She called me later to say it was the most incredible voicemail she'd ever had, so I hope you don't mind me pointing her to that particular picture... :)

Cool :) I'm glad your friend enjoyed that voicemail.

I just remember watching that Spitfire taking off in a tube of rain. It wasn't until I got that picture back that I realised the tube was composed of prop-wash trails like that!
