Spitfire IX G-LFIX, ML407
SATURDAY & SUNDAY
The Grace Spitfire ML407 was originally built at Castle Bromwich in early 1944 as a Mark IX single seat fighter and served in the front line of battle throughout the last twelve months of World War II with six different allied Squadrons of the RAF’s 2nd Tactical Air Force. ML407 flew a total of 176 operational combat sorties amassing an impressive total 319 combat hours.
Supermarine Spitfire XIV G-SPIT, MV293
SATURDAY & SUNDAY
The Spitfire XIV was the ultimate wartime variant of the Spitfire. Powered by a Rolls Royce Griffon engine the aircraft had significantly more power than its Merlin powered ancestors which gave it superior performance at low level. This aircraft, serial number MV293, was built in 1945 and did not see operational service but it is painted as the mount of famous british "ace" Johnnie Johnson who was famously credited with a total of 34 victories.
Mustang P51-D "Miss Helen"
SATURDAY & SUNDAY
P-51D-20NA 44-72216 is a very special Mustang. She flew with the 487th FS, 352nd FG, during WWII as Capt. Raymond Littge's “Miss Helen” … today, she is still the same Mustang and again wears the same paint scheme as she did over 60 years ago. This makes her the last original 352nd FG P-51 known to exist.
B-17 Flying Fortress – Sally B
SUNDAY ONLY
Europe's only Flying Fortress Sally B defies the odds and flies into her 42nd Season
One of aviation's most remarkable stories continues for an astonishing forty-second time this season as Sally B, the only airworthy Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress in Europe embarks on another Air Display season, a feat which has been described as 'impossible'. Throughout the Airshow Season, between May and October, this unique USAAF bomber will once again steal the show at venues all over the UK. Most immediately recognisable as the star of the Hollywood Blockbuster "Memphis Belle", this B-17 will once again fulfil her main mission, paying tribute to the Allied Airmen who made the ultimate sacrifice in WWII.
