VictorGolf,

In the interests of accuracy it was the DH Moth Club, not the Tiger Club, who operated the Charity Flying Days out of OW. I too invested £50 in a trip in the lovely Dragonfly a decade or so back.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's related to filming the new dambusters film.

Over Duxford yesterday there were two dragon rapide's flying with a spitfire too.
They performed multiple fly pasts the village I work at

diddy, the two Rapides were the Classic Wings aircraft carrying out the "Wing to Wing witn a Spitfire" event with Spitfire MH434, which is described on their website. And very good it is too.
