BBMF Spitfire stars in Poland

摘要

The Goraszka International Air Picnic, just south-east of Warsaw on June 7-8, saw the eagerly-awaited first display by a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire in Poland. The fighter, Spitfire Mk V AB910, had been suffering technical problems with its propeller constant-speed unit after displaying in Berlin the previous weekend, which delayed its arrival in Poland. "You could almost hear the sigh of relief from the show's organisers as AB910 appeared on the horizon at midday on June 7", said Spitfire historian Peter R. Arnold, who was there.rnThe Spitfire is now in its second season painted in the 303 Sqn markings of Sqn Ldr Jan Zumbach's aircraft, RF-D, with Donald Duck and Kosciuszko badges on the port side of the nose.
