70 Years of Spitfires
70 years since the maiden flight of the Spitfire this week.
Celebrations included a re-enactment of the first test flight over Southampton. Watching it at the weekend reminded me of the many airshow flypasts, there's something about the Spitfire roaring overhead. Must get to a show this year, especially with Duxford so close by.
Airfix are planning a whole raft of kits and gift sets, including a 1/48th scale Mk1 with various options to build early and late models. I know what I'll be spending my free flying hours on once they hit the streets
