Did I see a Spitfire?

Hello all,
About 12:30 yesterday I was drivig past Duxford and saw what to my uneducated eyes looked like a Spitfire coming in to land. Though it did seem a bit quiet. I wonder if anyone knew if there was one flying round that area at that time?

Probably

Classic Wings operate out of Duxford and offer flight experiences in their Spitfire as well as other birds

They are very quiet if the landing and approach go as planned, not a lot of throttle required.

If weather OK, there's a pretty good chance of seeing a Spit flying from Duxford pretty much every day of the week these days.

They fly over my house all the time. I used to get super excited about it, but after a while it becomes a bit repetitive!

Oh brilliant, thanks! I've seen the BBMF a few times but this was so close and so unexpected!
