Hi Rick,
And what an adventure that was! I also did the 2000 one, following the Old Ghan track. Hope your latest operation is successful.
Back to "Spotted Today", I saw the 8 Spitfires and Hurricanes fly over towards Folkestone and return a very short while after. There were 24 Spits and Hurricanes flying out of Biggin Hill on 3 simulated patrols. I was up a quiet country lane parked in a field gateway, listening out when I heard someone shout "There they are!", it was surprising how many people were looking out for them, a wonderful sight.
