Spitfire In Birmingham Visited!
Popped along this afternoon to say hi to Graham and see the Spitfire for myself… Couldn’t have timed it better as he was just about to start it up as I arrived, so a nice Video was taken and is now uploaded to YouTube:

What an impressive sight and sound it was! Nice to meet Graham and have a good nose around the Spitfire… The 10 years of hard work was evident throughout, and hearing the Meteor reverberating around the surrounding buildings was awesome!
Some photos of the Lord Mayor’s Show which this was part of, including the obligatory shot of two forum members – as you do 😀
Thanks to Graham for inviting me behind the barriers for a close-up look, and nice to chat about the work that’s gone into this stunning Replica and star of Film & TV 😉

😀 Cheers Graham – that’s a more familiar place – right outside Birmingham’s Council House:

What time are you likely to be there until? I’m working that morning, so hoping to be able to pop along and see this for myself…

What a plank I am its actually Victoria Square. Waterloo street sat nav will find it, 😮

Hi Graham,
Can you just confirm the location you’ve given as I’m having trouble finding it – and I’m local? :confused:
We have a Queens Square in West Bromwich, but nothing’s showing for Birmingham itself?
