Takeoff into the Sunset

Takeoff into the Sunset

Spitfire Mk Vb AB910 of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight takes off at the end of the Goodwood Revival Weekend before departing back to the BBMF's base at RAF Coningsby.

The Runway in use was Rwy 32 which allowed the setting sun to be placed behind the aircraft on takeoff. Just before all the Spitfires scrambled, a bank of cloud drifted into view and fortunately was lit up by the golden light of the sun to produce the rich colours in the photo. Due to the high contrast this leaves the profile of the Spitfire as a dark silhouette with the only glints of light from the aircraft being the leading edges of the wing and the tailplane.
