Dog-fighting Biplanes

Folks,

Any ideas who the two biplanes dogfighting south of Biggleswade, Bedfordshire were this afternoon (31/03/2004)?

They looked like they were having a great time in the afternoon sunshine. Certainly slowed the traffic on the A1 northbound as people tried to watch.

Something quite special about watching biplanes wheeling and turning, glinting in the sunshine.

Perhaps in future you can play over Tempsford.

Cheers

Lovely day for it! I well remember doing it in April '77 at Lands End with our (Leisure Sport) Camel and DR1. Great fun. What days they were.
