Nic and I went to Capel-le-Ferne on the Kent coast today, primarily to witness the ashes of Mike Llewellyn MBE, being scattered as his last request from a Spitfire as it flew over the White Cliffs of Dover. The founder of the Battle of Britain National Memorial, it was his dying wish to have his remains disposed of over the iconic cliffs.
Unfortunately, the two aircraft (the other was a Hawker Hurricane), were an hour and twenty minutes late in arriving, so to pass the time I took the opportunity to photograph two other masters of flight that were circling or hovering overhead. The top image is of a kestrel whilst the lower one is of a Peregrine Falcon.
300mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor.
