This is one of my favourite recordings. Completely by suprise a formation of Hawker Sea Hurricane, Supermarine Seafire, Grumman F4F Wildcat and a Vought Corsair flew over as a prelude to a naval themed display at Old Warden, 3rd June 2007.

This recording was taken using minidisc and an AT-822 so dynamics are limited to that hardware, the mp3 version adding a few artifacts.
