BBMF Spitfire XIX PS915 performing at nearby Biggin as I type!

Thanks Megan, there seem to be three TR.IXs with Packards, a PR.XI and two XVIs. The Griffon RG 30 SM-S are the modified Shackleton engines in the XIV and XIX owned by Rolls Royce.

The Spitfires with no engine types listed are all still under restoration.

Interestingly, P-51D G-SHWN is listed as having a RR Merlin rather than a Packard...

Of the three Lancasters on the register, G-LANC is preserved at Duxford, G-BCOH is in bits at Kermit Weeke's place and G-ASXX has four newly rebuilt Merlins ready for when she becomes airworthy - hopefully!

PS915 has returned to Southend for the display there.
