Spitfire down in Kent
A couple of hours ago.
According to witnesses the engine started spluttering, pilot executed a forced landing in a field. Near Woodchurch.
Pilot ok.
Pictures on Kent On Line.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Sad but that rather justifies the insurance brokers with the premium for overflight of London.
Is that a two-seater, I can't quite make if out?

Hmm, a certain irony there methinks - German" Spitfire in BoB Commemoration! Maybe there ought to be an Me 109out in front, and the Spit and Hurri pilots going"Dagga, daga" on the R/T......hat, coat...........
PS - ATC - many thanks

Pilot rumoured to have been Rob Davies who had to bail out of the P-51 at Duxford a couple of years back....poor Rob must have been thinking oh no, not again

Above the Clouds - Is that a picture from its earlier wheels up landing in Germany perhaps? That look like grass, the Kentish field shown in the pictures elsewhere looked to be stubble.
