Spitfire G-ILDA has been flying from Lee-On-Solent this week. It has been repainted in an early war green/brown scheme with no codes. For film work maybe?

To-day it has been joined by Spitfire G-TCHI. Both from Goodwood. Operating from Lee has the benefit of a hard runway.

Grumman Albatross N98TP flew into Lee late this afternoon from Southampton for fuel, and then departed at 4.24 back to Southampton. Apparently Southampton Airport no longer provides Avgas 100L, only jet fuel. I waited until it took off just as the sun was setting, hence poor quality of second pic. Take off direction was out over the water. Great sight and sound!

Yes, all the time. Super annoying.

I suspect that the aircraft part of the logo is not intended to represent a particular aircraft and that the owl part is more significant.

The manufacturer of the tie ceased to exist in the mid 1990’s (having been incorporated in 1924) and so the tie predates that.

The former Gosport Aviation Society amalgamated with the The Lee Flying Association and formed The Daedalus Aviation & Heritage Group.

One of the members may have some more information for you.

I can remember seeing it in bits at the back of a hanger at Redhill in 1966 or7. It would be great to see it flying.

Doesn’t that say “S’fire” in the worn yellow paint?

The model is a true representation of the version of the Argosy used by the RAF (C.1). The rear door of the C.1 could be opened in flight for supply drops.

The rear of the civil version was very visually different, it being of a rounded design.

Let’s hope that the new owner is in a position to keep it in the condition that it deserves.
