Did anyone see the 2 large pages devoted to naming and listing all the items and there uses in a spitfire cockpit today?
As someone who doesn’t know much about the aircraft it was a brilliant chance to see everything, some of us on here might want to show it to kids or something?
Have a look if you get the chance.

Most strange for them to print such an item..surely there must be some bad news that could have filled the pages!!
Seriously though well done whoever was responsible.

It was indeed JG891 although the accompanying air to air was unfortunately of the “late” PL983.
It really would not have been hard to get a nice air to air of the right aircraft 🙁
Hi Roobarb, looks like i got serial number mixed up. Yes, wouldn’t have been difficult to get photo of right aircraft. I guess the fuse for PL 983 is still at HFL unpainted.

Hi cal900, yes i saw that. Think the aircraft used was JG 981 the MK V that HFL have just put back in the air for Tom Blair.
