A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.

You can't beat a bit of Yeats on a Thursday morning. This one has more of a nostalgic feel about it. I love the light bouncing off the propeller and I like the framing of this one better too.

I'm trying to work out why they look better without the whole aircraft in shot.
I prefer this one, too. I posted the other one first as a tribute to the lens 8). Seeing the aircraft flying where they fought is quite an emotional experience.

the shutter speed must be real fast for the propeller to be frozen as if the Spitfire is gliding ... Battle of Britain revisited? ;-)

Great capture.. like the crop, colours and the little action showing it's actually flying.
