Does anyone know who flew Spencers warbirds? I do know that Ray Hanna test flew G-FIRE and that it was displayed by Spencer, Stefan Karwovski and Mike Searle. I think these 3 were the regular display pilots but i would like to know if there was anyone else. I also know Rod Dean flew the P-51, did he fly any of the others?

Thanks guys, Pete Thorne did fly G-FIRE but i think that was when she was owned by Classic Displays Ltd which was headed by Ken Whitehead, who also flew her.
I also heard that Nigel Lamb flew the Sea Fury but have no confirmation.

Here is a shot of Chris Bevan in G-FIRE at Cranfield on 28 April 1983.

Yes he did, I certainly saw him fly it at Duxford several times around 1988.

From the back of my mind I think Pete Thorne flew the Spitfire on occasions.
