Spotted this earlier today. Not as good as in real life, but an interesting spot all the same!

Curses, the picture won’t upload!

Was on FR24. I’ll try and make the image work...

There are a few about.. with Farnborough, Duxford and RIAT. I have seen several over my area in the last week.

G-BMSB operates out of Biggin a few times each day doing joyrides, as does G-AIDN though it seems less visible on FR24.

We had 11 flying together at Duxford today. You've got an hour until midnight to get tickets for tomorrow's Flying Legends show - well worth it! Advance tickets only, none on the gate...

I was at Headcorn Friday having a lesson when one of the resident Spitfires flew straight down the runway, did a circuit and landed - worth waiting around waiting for my instructor.
