This year, the Goodwood Revival celebrated its 10th anniversary and 60 years since the first race was held at the Goodwood Motor Circuit in September 1948.
Air displays went on all weekend with Mustang, Spitfire, Hurricane and Corsair aircraft, as well as the concours d’élégance for pre-’66 aircraft. Here, a Hurricane and Spitfire are flying with the Lancaster bomber, one of only two still in airworthy condition out of the 7,377 built.
