G-SXIV / RM927

Post by cg_341 »

Reported as the second flight at Sywell yesterday. Looks weird seeing a Spitfire with no tailwheel!

I like it! I had to look up what particular Mark it is, with the photo-reconnaissance fit I was thinking Mk.XVIII, but I have learned today that it's a FR.XIV!

Maybe the civvy reg could have given you a clue...? :wink:
And as the smart ship grew,
In stature, grace and hue,
In shadowy silent distance grew the iceberg too....

It did, but being a know-it-all who obviously doesn't means that I had to double check... :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
