This is the spectacular moment a spitfire flew over Desborough

This is a the spectacular moment a spitfire from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF) flew over Desborough.

The special flypast was part of the Desborough 1940s Day on Saturday, September 12.

On the ground, crowds gathered in the town centre to watch the spitfire fly over, as the town went back in time with 1940s dress and transport on display.

These amazing photos of the flypast were taken by Matt Cottrell.
