mike65 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yes I spotted that, so that is 2 trips to Goodwood in 3 days for me. Currently there are 36 Spitfires, 8 Hurricanes and 1 Blenheim on the list. Entry to Goodwood on the day is by ticket only https://grrc.goodwood.com/battle-of-britain/battle-of-britain-day-flypast#Jb666F1pIu5o7TL3.97 Suppose they need to control numbers (it is free though) After take off they are splitting up into groups and covering a large swathe of Southern England before landing at various places.

Richard Farrant Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 There is a big flyout of Spitfires and Hurricanes from Biggin Hill tomorrow, 18th August as well. Split in to three flights, they will do simulated patrols and return to Biggin. http://biggin75.strikingly.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Monday, there have been Merlin engines buzzing overhead all day over Orpington and surrounding area. Lovely noise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog8811 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 A bunch of Merlins heard as they went past, 1 spit seen doing a couple of circuits around RAF Headley court (I work overlooking said establishment)... A good day in the woods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnwardle Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Red section will be flying over Trowbridge park at approx 12:45, I have been told that there will be 6 Spitfires in Red section. An ideal place to see them would be on the top level of the multi storey car park off St Stevens place. Sadly I won't be able to get there, but hopefully they will fly over Warminster on their way from Salisbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean N Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 A few from last Tuesday, since no-one else has: Didn't see Mr Beckett there - can't understand why, it's not as if the crowds were particularly large... One thing that did jar slightly - where was all the British soft skin? Seeing the pilots being transported in Jeeps and Dodge WCs with wire cutters, invasion stars and drivers with American uniforms didn't strike the right note - it would have been great to see some Bedfords, Ford WOTs, Austins and maybe an AEC.
