Oh so that’s what the green / grey aircraft was when I popped in for a very nice cup of coffee last week?

Why was she away from home?
I read she was at Earls Colne for maintenance.

Yep, Cambridgeshire really is quite a handy place to live if you like your warbirds. I feel some days ‘working from home’ in the back garden coming up later this year… 🙂
So, did we establish where ML407 had been? I would have thought any winter maintenance would be done at Duxford?

😀 Jammy LOL,so far this year ive seen several Spitfires [or the same one frequently LOL]Hurricane,it may have been Peter Vachers one and thats without leaving my village 🙂 I happen to live north of Cambridge and they seem to use our area for air testing 😀 😀
You need to move Daz :p
I’ll gladly swap you a week in Penicuik! You’ll get several neds (or maybe just the same one frequently) and a few chavs, all without going too far! :p

Family thought I was going mad
Whereas we all know differently 😉

Was very nice to see her out and about on Saturday evening as well. Family thought I was going mad as I kept looking out of the window muttering about hearing the sound of a Merlin.
