Solent Airport Daedalus
We are lucky in the Stubbington area to have the Boultbee Flight Acadamy Spitfires flying from Solent Airport Daedalus
It has been great to see and hear the Spitfire flying from the airfield, particularly after the loss of the Portsmouth Naval Gliding Centre.
While I cannot match the quality of the photographs on their website it has been great fun trying!
There has even been TV presenter James Martin thrown in for good measure.
The thumbnails below are some of the photographs I have taken over the past week. Please click on any thumbnail to view the images in a carousel.

Spitfire and Messerschmitt
The Messerschmitt Bf 109, commonly called the Me 109 (most often by Allied aircrew and even amongst the German aces themselves, even though this was not the official German designation), is a German World War II fighter aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt and Robert Lusser during the early to mid-1930s (Wikipedia)
The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and many other Allied countries before, during and after the Second World War. The Spitfire was built in many variants, using several wing configurations, and was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft. It was also the only British fighter to be in continuous production throughout the war (Wikipedia)
