Wishing all our followers a 'Happy Holidays' - Sir Tim Wallis flying his Spitfire Mk XVI past Mount Aspiring, seemingly offering Air Support to the great wizard Gandalf, as this one of the beautiful New Zealand mountains that featured in Lord of the Rings. #spitfiremkxvi

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.โฃ #f22raptor

Today we thank those who have fallen in the name of freedom.โฃ 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'.โฃ #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.

Itโ€™s 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 sheโ€™s still flying today. Photo credit: @JohnMDibbs #BattleOfBritain80 #LestWeForget
