Not BBMF Spit as it didn’t take off until 19:30ish last night and landed just before 21:00. Was over Shrivenham and High Wycombe. Also was clipped wing Mk XV1 TE311.

I was brought up in Silloth, and only knew the airfield as a race track. Didn’t know its history until I joined BBMF. Can’t believe how much is still there.

2 x BBMF Spitfires have landed at Newcastle for the night if that helps.

[QUOTE=brataccas;1975320]If anyones interested in a previous find which has plenty of serials etc, someone told me its a pneumatic valve from a spitfire for the gun cannon. It has a visable dataplate but unfortunatly its worn away so I cant read it. some pics:

That is a pressure regulating valve. They are on our Lanc, Hurri and Spits.

This might help.

Let’s hope the paint manages to stick on, Let’s hope the paint manages to stick on, Let’s hope the paint manages to stick on, ohh sorry for that, was having a Dakota moment… :p

Love it, thats very funny. Every trip it came back with less paint on.

Hopefully on its way in the morning, weather permitting. Had a snag from the weekend that wasn’t fixed until this afternoon.
