MK26B’s. so not Spitfires but something that resembles Spitfire, a Lotus 7 that is a copy but smaller of a Caterham 7, which is far away for the real thing, its not a Spitfire. Triumph made a real Spitfire.
Good luck to them, over a million quid to do this but may look good in the sky and more affordable, but still not a Spitfire.
Spitifire Lvfb G*MKVB over Bassingbourne as we speak
ah that is what I heard call saffend then, think its heading back to Dux later.
second blade look VDM ish, I think some hollow steel blades were oil filled, like on P47.
Throttle box is for a twin by looks of it, cant help with type

Brilliant Charlie, its so interesting looking at the topography and thinking about doing it in the dark !
Again, hats off to every single person who allowed this trip to happen, unfortunately I very much doubt the BBMF will be able to return the favour.
Canadian Lancaster squawking from the Ramp at Conningsby, getting ready for Southport I guess
Fantastic, love old airfield vehicles, I must say it will be a up hill struggle from the look of the photo !, sorry
MK356 still up and over Banbury
Charlie, I know some covert stuff goes on but thought it was private companies
Spitfire Mk.LF1Xe has just taken off from Conningby
Now over Sandy
Something strange on FR24 as this spit is doing twice speed of sound !
Looks like a wheels up near a farm?
John – elected Police and Crime Commissioners – gosh, what a difference they have made, eh??
I am sure I have memories of a measure of respect for policemen in my gilded youth…..
PCC’s watch em fall one by one, they will fall for sure, do you all realise that Police officers arrested, convicted and being dismissed due to, fraud, sex crimes, manipulation of evidence etc is a plague in the service, along with a self appointed criminologist/TV reporter/child exploitation expert who all have things to hide.
C is most probably the individual call sign, i have seen this a few times but as you say it was not common, maybe a squadron thing, easier for maintenance, pilot when doing a walkround
312 squadron did black up to the spinner along with 615, 73 did one wing black
ARCO Harvard just passed overhead heading South, looks like another for Headcorn or Biggin, not heard a call on the radio though
