ANORAK MODE

The spit is one of the later marks. It looks different because it changed so much from the ones in the battle of Britain, with bigger engine, wings and bubble canopy. Its like comparing a Ford Capri, and this years Mondeo.

that would have been a sight to see spanners , i have a good story about the RAF over in the states doing war game exercises ,

to cut a long story short the Americans in F3 demons had located a Vulcan bomber flying at low level and had planned to engage the enemy as it had no fighter escort , as they got lower down and tried to lock onto the Vulcan , 2 buccaneers peeled out from under its wings  , the American pilots were apparently gobsmacked at this , dont know who won the war game but its a good story eh

my dad worked on lightnings , Vulcans , Canberra's

here though is a spitfire at Dyce (Aberdeen Airport) this would not be an everday event and i'm guessing it was on a sunday when the choppers wernt flying,
