173-1. Spitfire T.IX - PT462 - ARCo Duxford Flight Experience - Antony Spurrell - 65th Birthday (4K)

Filming this gent (Antony Spurrell) on his actual 65th Birthday taking a celebration Spitfire fight experience was pure chance, as I was only there to film my mate Gary Lilley taking a similar celebration Spitfire fight on his actual 65th Birthday (see Video 173-2). I therefore thought I would film his flight as a practice session for using my equipment. I soon found out with having to walk right around my Tripod, its legs were a trip hazard problem, as was the impossibility of filming directly overhead. The last time I filmed an airshow at Duxford (BofB Show 2024) I found I needed to install a Remote Control device on the Tripod’s Panning Arm for Start/Stop with Zoom & Focus. Now procured, this little device has been a boon to using the Camera. After filming, Antony’s son Matthew (who had arranged this flight) approached me to see if I had taken any photos of his Dad. I basically replied, I’d done much better than that, I’d filmed most of it on a professional movie camera. I’m not yet fully proficient at using it but getting better. I apologise for not tracking the aircraft on the ground in some places. Basically, the plane was so small at the far side of the airfield, I couldn’t really see it & guessed wrongly where it was.
