Spitfire 'Selfie'

I am sure Jacek Mainka will not mind me sharing this lovely shot of TE184 approaching the White Cliffs enroute for Biggin Hill from Bremgarten, via Amiens, this past Thursday.

But as you shurely recognised the aircraft at this picture isn´t a Mk9- that´s why

Re 9

Why not? Because all Spits from and including the the Mk 9 would outperform the 190 – that’s why.

Re 7

Not the sight you’d want to see if you were in the Luftwaffe.

Nice view I love the blue sky, I could have done with some of that blue when I was looking at MV239 a couple of weeks ago;

Very atmospheric.

This year has remained, so far, Spitfire-free in the NW boundary of the London TMA, the only Merlin to be heard has been a P.51.

Can’t be long now.
