Recordist's notes

A rare opportunity to record a WW2 Spitfire above my house performing an aerobatic display. Maybe you can detect the slow victory roll at the end. MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s on the roof to capture the best sounds reverberating off The Malvern Hills and across The Severn Valley.
