This confirms just how long ML407 has been attended to by Richard Grace he is two years old here cleaning our family Spitfire at Fighter Meet at West Maling - now look at the film in my earlier tweet-puts it into perspective!

Mary Ellis has so sadly died. This is Mary and me about to go flying in our Spitfire from Sandown Isle of Wight on a glorious sunny day. Now I feel Mary will always be flying in a Spitfire on a sunny day just as she would wish to be

ML407 holding the fort - just! Though 3 to 1 was often the odds for Spitfire / ME109. Now imagine a day out - two mates - 1 in ML407 other in our 2 seat Buchon/ME109 flanked by a Spitfire V and a Buchon/ME109 four engines what a sound what a sight!

ML407 in full D-Day markings painted on with rollers and brushes as done 74 years ago for Johnnie Houlton DFC to fly his Spitfire on the Overlord (D-Day) battle where they shot down the first enemy aircraft on D-Day at Omaha Beach. We, with ML407 honour those who saved so many.

[Carolyn Grace @CGML407]

Today 29th April 74 years ago ML407 was delivered by Jackie Moggridge to Johnnie Houlton- here with ML407 ground crew Vic Strange and Ron White-history saved by Nick Grace then Carolyn Grace now Richard Grace. Emotive day.

A truly astounding achievement again by my incredible team at Air Leasing headed by Richard Grace here doing first engine run this evening on the P47 that arrived in a container 12 days ago inspected/repainted/reassembled - result

Daisy Grace captured yesterday evenings hint of summer as ML407 was being hangared after two days flying making 8 very happy people’s lifelong dream a reality!

[Carolyn Grace @CGML407]

A new page from us at Air Leasing not specific to the Grace Spitfire, more of a general insight in to what we are up to. Like us, there's an unseen pic of a new arrival... We also have a shiny new website - https://t.co/Pp0a5aMH8v

33 years ago today I sat in our Spitfire ML407, with Nick in front ready to fly the first flight after his 5 year restoration -Richard was 9 months old -this photo shows Richard about to fly me 25 years on same date to commemorate his fathers achievement

[Carolyn Grace @CGML407]

Weather has stopped ‘play’ at Sywell for ML407 and our passengers today and tomorrow all so understanding when I called them in advance to tell them

[Carolyn Grace @CGML407]

I flew over BofB memorial Capel-le-Ferne looking straight up to camera ship glancing at oil pressure for a millisecond-always checking in formation

[Carolyn Grace @CGML407]

September 2004, with ML407’s Merlin engine at full power and me at full concentration, I had the honour of flying in formation with The Red Arrows for a photo shoot + 3 flypasts at Scampton

[Carolyn Grace @CGML407]

Me entering a loop in 1994 not pulling too hard so I do not black out, due to G forces, but hard enough to fly a good loop in formation with camera ship which was being flown by the truly incredibly talented Pete Kynsey with John Dibbs on camera who did do a brill job!!
