Great airshow yesterday on a gorgeous evening at @ShuttleworthTru. Very lucky to fly the Lysander (built 1938, 2200 kg empty), SE5a (built 1917, 790 kg) and Avro Triplane (1910 design, 370 kg). A real range of handling and performance.

#Spitfire cockpit from behind, showing the fuselage frames and control runs. Not much to it - you can see why armour plate was fitted behind the pilot.
