Two Spitfires and a Messerschmitt 109 graced our runway today! โ๏ธ
We are extremely grateful to @IWMDuxford for allowing three World War II aircraft to visit @STN_Airport to remember the D-Day landings.
Who else was fortunate enough to spot the three stunning aircraft? ๐ #DDay

How a personal connection with his grandfather's wartime RAF service is motivating warbird pilot and instructor Sam Worthington-Lees to bring the legendary Hawker Typhoon back to the skies #avgeek@project_typhoon https://t.co/RAuzxY14Du
Wishing Bernard Gardiner a very happy 101st birthday for today.
It was an honour to have him as guest of honour at the weekend, and to facilitate him going up in the Hurricane!

โโฆ.and some people prefer Spitfires ๐๐โ. Actually not sure what we were laughing about, but what a privilege to fly with 100-year-old Bernard Gardiner on Sunday. He was guest of honor at the Hawker Typhoon Preservation Group event over the weekend as they restore RB396
