Spitfire Over Orkney

Spitifre T9 PT462 G-CTIX displayed over Kirkwall and performed a flypast at the former Spitfire base at Skeabrae. She was brought north through the combined efforts of Neil Thain in Orkney and Derek Mowat, an Orcadian in Edinburgh, who also knows the Spitfire's owner. The event was funded by public subscription.

Neil's reward was a back seat ride on the Skeabrae trip which included a low go around and ended in formation with Cessna 182 G-WIFE running west towards Birsay. It was thoroughly well deserved given his efforts. Big grins all round.
