Dutch combat vet Spitfire flies

摘要

Supermarine Spitfire XVIe TB885/G-CKUE flew on 4 August from Biggin Hill with Dan Griffith at the controls, three years after arriving for a ground-up rebuild with The Spitfire Company (Biggin Hill). The combat veteran fighter, which is owned by Dutch supermarket magnate Frits van Eerd, has been finished in the markings it wore while flying with No 322 (Dutch) Squadron during 1945. It made its show debut at the Biggin Hill Festival of Flight on 18-19 August.
