WHEEEEE-Spitfires been airtesting over my house today

😀 Just to make Daz da man happy,or sad.It was an eliptical winged version with invasion stripes on the wings and Fuselage
.unfortunately i did’nt have my camera with me.:(
A question i have often thought about is, do different aircraft do air testing in different locations.In the summer we see quite a few air tests over here and most of them are Spitfires but some aircraft we never see.

hmm yes, and I think that I picked the right time of year to start working at a certain Lincolnshire RAF station… ‘m sure that i’ll be bored by the sound of Merlins eventually – NOT

It was indeed the Grace Spitfire 🙂

I have to say that the only thing I will miss about living in Duxford village will be seeing the aircraft flying when at home as well as work 🙁 But still, looking on the bright side, I still get to see them at work 😀

DazDaMan Snapper – since when did you become that Australian harriden, Mrs Greer?!

Ever since I was ten years old. Ever since Elvis Presley joined the army.

Besides, me hens went right off laying eggs after the September show. I had to but from the supermarket for weeks.

How I hate living near Duxford, all those bloody noisy aircraft buzzing low over the house scaring the chickens.

Dammit, I bloody hate living in Penicuik! 🙁

Grace Spitfire perhaps (given the location and the markings)?
