Description
Follow my Leader
A flight of Spitfires on an intruder mission in clear wintry weather. Such sorties were a staple of the RAF input to the conflict in Europe - the cannon equipped Spits would be briefed for �targets of opportunity� and relatively free to roam looking for likely military installations. A low level flight profile was employed to �hide� their presence as much as possible - then a pounce on the target and scramble back for home, again as low as they dared. Sorties like this were code named �Rhubarb� and the cause of much trouble to the German infrastructure and military.

Pat this is an absolutely breath taking composition. I can almost hear those Merlin engines as the aircraft sweep over the landscape. Great work. Fav'/voted.

You don't see so many pictures of Spitfires against a winter landscape. This one looks terrific! Definitely one for the wish list. Well done on your sale.
