A glimpse of the past

Following a day at the Bird Fair my drive across the marsh was a little later than usual. We drove into New Romney and checked out the Autumn Ladies Tresses round the canon at Littlestone. There were several 100 dotted about, and a drive towards the water tower found many more growing in lawns and on the verges.







As we turned onto the coast drive we saw several people gathered with cameras watching the skies. A sudden loud sound revealed 2 Lancaster bombers flying by!! By the time we stopped they were heading away. Chatting to Dorothy we heard them returning so a mad scramble to park the car and get ourselves and cameras out of the car in time to photograph this unique event. Luckily I managed to get some shots of the 2 bombers, both separately and together. They were followed by a Spitfire and a Hurricane and 10 minutes later by a Dakota. As we had absolutely no knowledge of this event we were extremely lucky to be where we were when we were.
