Nice Terry. Is that Spit XIV still flying? I don't recognize those codes.

Thanks Andy. It's actually a Spit PR19, painted as a MkXIV. From what I remember, for that season, the codes were the initials of a Group Cpt or WingCo, but I can't remember who! The 'Flight change the schemes / codes of all aircraft every couple of years, to avoid favouring any individual or squadron, and she's worn numerous 'disguises' since !
At the time, the Lanc, for example, was still wearing Guy Gibson's codes, AJ-G.

Thanks for the clarification Terry. Might be the same PR19 I saw at Duxford last year - painted blue with invasion stripes?

Could well be Andy, I'd have to check the serial number, as one of the PR19s was sold a couple of years ago, and also appears at Duxford in PRU colours!

Great stuff.
You look ready for anything in that pic.
Thanks for sharing all the GREAT pictures, hope you find the Vulcan, saw it fly an airshow routine here in the States in the 70s (maybe 60s, I can't be THAT old). VERY impressive low level-low speed flying.
