By Some Strange Coincidence

A Douglas Dakota flew over the Gruff 'apartment' as I was leaving for work. It seems to have been associated with a Supermarine Spitfire and what one might be forgiven for thinking ought to have been a Hawker Hurricane but from the shape of the wings and tailplane could well have been a Messerschmitt Bf 109. As I drove round the back of Blackpool airport what appeared to be the Red Arrows flew over me. Less than thirty minutes earlier I had been looking at the southern Fylde coast on Google Earth, which shows what appears to be the Red Arrows parked in a row on the airport, and no I'm not suggesting that the image on Google Earth was taken half an hour before I left 'home' for work.
