Wow!

Er that's it really. Nice to see one just pop up out of nowhere. Crap overcast day so I couldn't see the markings, just looked silver and I didn't notice any colour bandings.

Martin Baker have two airworthy ones just down the road at Chalgrove for ejector seat testing so probably one of those.

I was surprised to see a Spitfire flying low over the Dorset coast going Eastwards yesterday afternoon, about 1730hrs so I'm guessing it had been displaying somewhere.

Sounds like it’s doing better than our F35s - they have cancelled their arrival at RAF Marham today due to the weather...
