    Hello

    Can anybody remember when Concorde came to RAF Finningley? (Battle of Britain air show)

    I was there but cannot remember the year (was early 80’s)

    Regards

    Hello

    I Think it was around 1981 as I did not have a driving licence then! It may have been the first time it had landed at Finningly? I do not remember it comming back year after year? But I could be wrong………….

    Any pictures of the spitfire would be good.

    Regards

    I Think the 2 Seater Spits arn’t requested, because they are not the correct wartime external configeration. ie two seaters, modified after the war, the mustangs may be two seaters but don’t have two seperate canopies etc……………..

    Having watched the BLACK 6 section.

    It gives a in depth look at the 22 years it took for restoration and the complex life BLACK 6 had.

    All in all probably worth buying the DVD’s just for this……………….
