Duxford Friday 23rd May,
Whilst pre airshow activity took centre stage for most of the day with C-47s,Gliders, Spitfires and Buchons all flying pride of place must go to the TFC Hellcat which flew for the first time in nearly 6 years when Pete Kinsey lifted her of the ground just before 5.30pm this evening. Congratulations to all involved at TFC for getting this rare machine in the air again.

[QUOTE=DCW;2137331]Duxford Monday 12th May:
The move of Spitfire MH434 back to Hangar 3 allowed some close-ups of her new D-Day markings. Not the first time this aircraft has worn stripes.
I think it’s safe to assume it took hours of meticulous research and days of painstaking labour to re-create an original hastily applied scheme.
Perhaps time to show some of her previously worn stripes
