The Old & The New

Whilst on holiday in the Lincolnshire wolds ... we stopped by RAF Coningsby home of the Battle Of Britain Memorial flight & though taken through the wire mesh fence, this shot of a modern Typhoon fighter taking off past this beautiful Spitfire came out ok I thought ?

Just to add a little more info on this plane. Our old friend John informs me that this particular plane was built in Castle Bromwich in 1940 & is the oldest Spitfire still flying, that saw active service in the war ! Thanks John.
