dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX G-IRTY departing Goodwood on her round the world flight. Accompanied by her Pilatus PC-12 chase and support aircraft and for a short while over Sussex 3 other Spitfires. There were also a number of Helicopters with cameras filming the event . The weather was very kind to her and her first stop was Lossiemouth in Scotland. Next stop is the Faroe Islands and then Iceland, Greenland and into Canada and the USA., I took over 150 photos but have only included a small number here.
