    She was flying on Friday afternoon, but had RPM fluctuations issues and didn’t finish off practice. Great video mate. 👍

    There are many special aircraft in the World but the magnificent Supermarine Spitfire has to be up there in the Top Ten. She is a gem. Great to see her alongside the Typhoon, showing the present that she was carrying out the same duties of the fighters today. Magnificent & iconic

    Not too many aircraft have held my gaze quite so much as a Spitfire. One still evades me in terms of a live experience but one I'm looking forward too. This example is a stunner flying under fitting skies in the place we call its home. Wonderful too see. Long may she fly for all too enjoy. Spitfire, Merlin and Lincolnshire backdrop make for a beautiful moment. Thanks TCS

    my initial thought is always that it's a cool looking plane, but then when you realise the importance of it, the history behind it and the lives of the pilots who flew in them, it brings a huge amount of pride and remembrance

    Hi Nikos, absolutely amazing. I was there wirh my wife in my Birthday on the 5th and that Spitfire was in the hanger. The most amazing news is it is painted in my deceased Grandfather's Polish 303 Squadron. Sent a chill down my spine and a tear to my eye. Thanks Nikos, always amazing . Shame we not in Lossiemouth at the same time this year 👍

      MK356 is a Mk IXe Spitfire built in 1944, originally based at Cosford. She flew with 443 sqn and served on D-Day. She is one of only a handful of spitfires still flying that flew on D-Day. Interestingly enough, she flies with a US built Packard Merlin (as found in the P-51 Mustang), rather than a RR Merlin. This was all that was available when she was originally restored

    • @TedConingsby
      @TedConingsby  8 місяців тому

      No, it’s an original and has seen combat. This was her first flight of the 2024 season.
