: What would it be, and why? You would be an observer only..
15th September 1945. The day that Gp Cpt Douglas Bader led a flypast of 300 Spitfires over London on Battle of Britain day.
My mum, aged 7 at the time, lived in North London through the Blitz and still remembers the flypast. There were tears in my eyes and shivers down my spine when 19 Spitfires flew over Duxford two years ago, so I guess I'd be a gibbering wreck if I saw 300 of 'em!
