Hello folks,
Three years ago at Rougham, the Spirit of Kent Spitfire dropped in and gave an impromptu display which was pretty breathtaking. I have since wondered who the pilot was and recently found a video on Youtube, of a display elsewhere crediting the flying to Dan Griffith(s?). I put a comment on YouTube, but it occurs to me that I’ve got photos from Rougham – can someone ID who the pilot was? At the time, the whole crowd stopped in their tracks to watch and three years later on we still sometimes talk about it 😉
Cheers!

Pretty sure that is Dan Griffiths, saw him display MK912 at Coolings Garden Centre of all places last June, a fantastic display that day.
Apparently Duxford yesterday was his 500th display.

Yes. That’s Dan Griffiths.
Thanks for all the replies – in that case the man’s a legend 😉

Looks like Dan to me in that close up. Manston’s displays were always superb, nice and close and the manovers constantly flowing.

If it was Dan Griffiths I would not be surprised. I have seen him display the aircraft three times and he flies an exceptional display.
