Spitfire flypast over Hereford to mark Armed Forces Day 2019.
It was due to flypast at 13:30 today (Saturday).
At 13:25 the wife reminded me and I panicked.
The camera was in one bag with the small lens attached, the 100-400mm lens was in the other bag.
A quick change of lenses (now 13:28)
I want to set the camera up manually so to focus on the spitfire and not the sky and was taking some reading from a nearby tree when I heard the distinctive sound (it was on time). So I ended up pointing and shooting and basically hoping for the best.
In less than a minute it was gone.
These are not of the best quality but at least I caught the spitfire.
