Spitfire joins Red Arrows for diamond finale

The final display of the Red Arrows' 60th season included a Spitfire which once belonged to one their founders.

Performing at Imperial War Museum Duxford on Sunday, the Royal Air Force aerobatic team were joined by Spitfire MH434 - which was owned and previously flown by the late Ray Hanna.

The team's diamond anniversary season, which began in May, has included a nine-aircraft, diamond-themed aerobatic show in the UK, mainland Europe and on tour in Canada.

The Red Arrows team has displayed almost 5,000 times in 57 countries around the world since its formation in 1965.
