Spitfire Anniversary

I'm sure many will have heard that this year is the annaversary of the first flight of the Spitfire. Seventy five years. It might be a good to have a "Spitfire" slot at the shows this year. I believe last year was a Battle of Britian annaversary and as such there was a slot at the Rufforth show to honour it. It was therefore a bit of a disappointment that it was flown by three or four P47's and a Banshee(?) (very well flown I should say). There must be a few Spits. in the LMA to bring this event to the publics attention.

Robin---the theme of Cosford this year will centre around the 75th anniversary---and all the adverts going out will push that as well---we hope to have a record number of model spits in the air----DAVE

While you're doing that Ken, you could also clean up the Spitfire, too!

TTFN,

Yeah good idea practice at Kirkby, need to keep the standard up though, real Spit's, no Supermarine Shedfire's.
