Very interesting to read about your experiences - especially your time at Tatenhill.
Tatenhill airfield today is a lively airfield with both an aircraft maintenance and avionics company as well as a couple of flight training organisations. In addition there are a number of GA aircraft based there as well as a Harvard (in Canadian livery) with an active social club and cafe on site. We also have the Midlands Air Ambulance (MAA) based here.
On Saturday 5th July we are having our annual Charity Fly In & Displays in support of the MAA. From 13.00pm we will have several air displays including duo Bucker Jungmanns'.
We are now also able to confirm that we will have a “surprise visitor” on the day......
.....a Griffon engine Spitfire Mk XIX (owned by Rolls Royce) which will be flown by Mark Lewis on slot at 1435hrs (L) who says his approach speed will be 330kts! This will be in addition to the existing display aircraft.
Rolls Royce thought our event in support of the Midlands Air Ambulance was a very worthwhile event to support.
