Spitfire 50th – Eastleigh '86 Photos

From memory, ‘407’s undercarriage collapsed on landing.

I didn’t see that display in its entirety (And was far too young to remember it anyway), but I do recall a rather forlorn ML407 sat in the hangar, missing out on the fun!

Thanks for showing us these pics, though 🙂

Possibly Stringbag, I know that PL983 did P7350 each did a display. ML407 had to sit it out as it landed wheels up on arrival.

Brings back lots of memories.
My dad took me to Eastleigh that day!
Didn’t a Spit do a fast flypast down the runway?

The Airport has changed immensely since those photos were taken, though the Trilander is still a familiar type in the circuit 🙂
