Spitfires, Hurricanes and Blenheims, from across the UK, US and Europe came together at Goodwood Aerodrome on Battle of Britain Day 2015. Present-day owners, operators, pilots and engineers were there alongside veterans. The planes flew past Goodwood in formation before dispersing to historical airfields in Northolt in Middlesex, North Weald in Essex, Duxford in Cambridgeshire, Bentwaters in Suffolk, Colerne in Wiltshire and Biggin Hill in Kent. Battle of Britain pilot Wing Commander Tom Neil, now 95, led the formation from the rear seat of a two-seat Spitfire.
