5 spitfires,ohhhh,i have looked at the webpage but it only says about the Grace one flying..

the anniversary is to be re-enacted by ARC TR9 at the exact smae time and then will be joined by a further 4 spits for a fly-by

And if the other 4 Spitfires are from Duxford???? 😀

5 Spitfires. Begining to sound like a good day. Unfortunately as I dont have any transport at the moment I can’t get there.

I will be at Duxford with my camera to get some photos and post them on here. Does anyone know what time it is happening at Duxford? I cant get to Southampton so Duxford will have to do.
Will anyone else be there?

Quoted on UKAR – Caroline Grace will be flying between 11.30 and 13.00, weather permitting but an announcement will be made before hand.

Includes a PDF map of the route around Southampton and timings of 4.30 to 4.35, weather permitting. Just need to know if they are leaving Duxford Saturday or Sunday.

On the other hand, if the Southampton Spitfire’s are from ARC at Duxford they have got to go back to base and if that happened to be on the Sunday…….
Of course they may overnight at Southampton.

I would have thought eastleigh / southampton would be a better place to be on sunday. 🙂

one of these is making its debut appearance in public 😉

Any “issues” were never going to stop her flying this season. We would be able to hear this from the horses mouth. However that member has been banned.

I may have missed this elsewhere, but have the issues about the withdrawal of her sponsors been resolved?
