December 7, 1941 - Here, an Arizona Air National Guard F-16 overflies the sunken hull with 900 of the 1,177 souls lost that day still entombed in the USS Arizona. The sunken warship is now a monument to those that fell on that day. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay #USSArizona

. @kermitweeks founder of Fantasy of Flight in Florida had his truly exceptional D model painted up as Lt George Preddy's 'Cripes A Mighty'. Preddy was the highest scoring Mustang ace of the conflict. Lee Lauderback steers a course through a stunning Florida sky. #bluenosers

Colonel 'Screech' York throws off gravity in this F/A-22 Raptor, doing things in the sky that seem like science fiction. @LockheedMartin built amazing foresight to the design, along with vectoring thrust.โฃ #f22raptor

Today we thank those who have fallen in the name of freedom.โฃ As Geoffrey Wellum, a Spitfire pilot once said, 'It's not about medals, it's not about the thank-you's, it's about being remembered...because that includes everyone'.โฃ #dayofremembrance #EveryPoppyCounts #veteransday

One of the BBMF Spitfires, P7350, was shot down on this day in 1940. 603 Sqn were scrambled to engage German aircraft attacking London; P7350 was hit and her pilot was forced to land in a field with the undercarriage up. #BoB80 #DetectandDefend @JohnMDibbs

This week has been bucket-list worthy. I undertook Aerial Direction and filming over the Derwent Dam for @lancasterdoco - it is truly an emotional and inspiring shoot.

Two of the greatest pilots you could hope for flying an iconic pair of #P51dmustangs, in this case Lee Lauderback (Stallion 51 Flight Operations) and Ed Shipley. Get those two, a sprinkle of epic lighting, a dash of Floridian weather and then wait. The moment is in there.

Itโs an absolute privilege to be the custodian of this beautiful #BattleOfBritain veteran. She flew 49 operational sorties from Croydon with 605 Sqn during September and October 1940 and sheโs still flying today. Photo credit: @JohnMDibbs #BattleOfBritain80 #LestWeForget
