1. Plans for the Boultbee Flight Academy's Battle of Britain 75th anniversary commemoration at Goodwood on 15 September, Battle of Britain Day itself, were firming up when we went to press in mid-August. This will see, says Boultbee, "approximately 40 Spitfires and Hurricanes from across the UK, USA and Europe [taking] part in an historic flypast over the south of England". They will split into 'wings' of up to eight aircraft each and overfly locations connected closely with the Battle. For details of the free (but ticketed) public access at Goodwood, see www. battleofbritainday.co.uk. A significant number of these aircraft will form the Freddie March 'Spirit of Aviation' static display atthe previous weekend's Goodwood Revival, which takes on a Battle of Britain theme.
