I popped into Duxford today so I could provide another update the B-17 ~ Mary Alice thread in the WIX Restoration Hangar.
During my visit ~ I was lucky enough to see something of a parade of Spitfires
First up is the one which is up for sale ( AR213 ) ~ as recently discussed ......
It was out on a systems ( brakes ?? ) test at lunch time
By late afternoon it was ready to make another test run ~ this time fully buttoned up
The two-seat Spitfire T.9 operated by the Grace family departed to it's regular home at Bentwaters
However it was what I found behind hangar three that got my pulse racing ( that might be just high blood pressure )
It seems the Imperial War Museum had arranged a photo opportunity for a handful of "pro" photographers !
I walked around the corner of the hangar just as they were finishing up
With both airplanes about to go straight back into the hangar ~ every second counts .....
All in all ~ another really fantastic day at Duxford
