dark light

first spitfire of the year

hi all just after some info about the spitfire that flew over skegness, fast and low at about 11.30 am this morning. Was it the spit from East Kirkby or a BBMF one or even one from somewhere else? It was last seen heading up the coast towards Mablethorpe.

Hello Last Lightning…

Good to see the Spitfire this morning…It was over my work location at Gunby at 11-52am heading towards Skeggie and returned West at 11-57am higher and just to the North of Gunby.
I suspect it was the East Kirkby Tr.9.

My father reports it being about over Spilsby this morning about 10-00 ish..

All the best,
Clive.

Then you must have missed Jumping Jaques belting around Essex a couple of weekends ago.
I can think of at least one however that won’t poke it’s nose out until it stops raining….
