Silver Spitfire

Tonight on Sky History at 9pm "SILVER SPITFIRE: THE LONGEST FLIGHT" is a feature-length documentary following a British expeditionary team’s attempt at the world’s first circumnavigation of the Earth in an 80-year-old Spitfire fighter plane. Should be worth a watch.

Have seen it and recommend it. Not fair the fun some folk have.

Did anyone catch how many flying hours it took?

No, did not watch it. My "guesstimate" would be around 90 - 100 flying hours... PM

They were planning on 130 hours. I don't think they stated how many hours it actually did take.

Did an extensive search and couldn't find any statement on hours flown overall, there were statements on hours flown on two particular legs.
