[Barrie Yates]

It was just outside the main gate at Duxford that I experienced what I thought to be a time warp.
On my way from RAF Henlow back to RAF Neatishead in '68, or maybe '67, I pulled into the lay-by outside the gates of RAF Duxford - it had ceased to be an operational station by then.
Enjoying my sandwiches and coffee when I noticed a couple of aircraft in the distance - really took notice when I realised they were ME109s and then they got bounced by a couple of Spitfires - I hadn't drunk anything except coffee, but I certainly was not imagining what I was seeing, thought I was going crazy and was in some sort of time warp
Told the story in the RAF Club that night and fortunately someone remembered that they were filming "The Battle of Britain" and they were flying from Duxford.
Me109s and He111s borrowed from the Spanish Air Force - I gathered that the 109s were fitted with Merlin engines though.
Certainly relieved when I heard that.
