Spitfire IX G-LFIX, ML407
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.
Seafire III G-BUAR, PP972
Seafire MK III PP972 was one of 250 Type 358 Seafire L.F.III aircraft ordered from Westland Aircraft in July 1943. It left the works during September 1944. It is the only surviving Seafire Mk III in the world. The aircraft was transferred to 809 Squadron Fleet Air Arm in November 1944 serving on HMS Stalker and then on HMS Attacker.
The Trig Aerobatic Team
The Trig Aerobatic Team brings vintage glamour and dynamic close formation flying to the skies. The team comprises of Richard Grace and Dave Puleston in their Pitts Special S-1D biplanes. These aircraft designed in the 1940’s remain popular due to their high power and low weight ratio. Richard explains “the rate of roll and general maneuverability of the Pitts makes it a great display aircraft, with a top speed of only 200 mph this allows us to fly a tight, compact display where the action really does take place right in front of the crowd line”.
Hawker Fury FB11 G-CBEL, SR661
The Hawker Fury, or Sea Fury, was a post war design derived from the Hawker Tempest. It is one of the fastest piston engined fighter ever made and utilises a Bristol Centaurus 18 engine with an output of nearly 2,600 horsepower.
Supermarine Spitfire XIV G-SPIT, MV293
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.
Hurricane MK1, G-ROBT, P2902
This aircraft, Hurricane MkI Serial Number P2902, was built by Gloster Aircraft during 1939-1940 under contract number 962371/38/C.23a. It first flew on or around 20th October 1939. By May 1940, it was operational with 245 Fighter Squadron, based at Drem on the East Coast of Scotland, engaged on shipping protection patrols.
Hispano Buchon 2 seat G-AWHC
Hispano HA-1112-M4L “Buchon” G-AWHC is the sole surviving variant of two 2 seat aircraft built by Hispano Aviacion in Tablada, Seville, in 1954. Given the serial number 40/2 the aircraft was operated by the Spanish Air Force from 1954 until the retirement of the type in late 1965.
