Last year we went to the event at Burghley House and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Grace Spitfire display appeared to be almost in slow motion, all the better with the orchestra playing Elgar's Nimrod. As TT says, so British. I know it is unfashionable to feel pride in being British, but events such as this and the Queen's Birthday Parade illustrate what we Brits can do. No doubt the naysayers will disagree, but they will be poorer for it.
