Ihope that FlyPast is helping to brighten your days during this current lockdown. If you're looking for a heady helping of aviation heritage, this issue is marking the 85th anniversary of the iconic Spitfire with three features. There's a look at the famous two-seat 'Grace Spitfire', ML407, which is undergoing a major 'bare bones' service at its home base of Sywell, Northamptonshire; while Parnall Aviation chief, Mark Parnall, discusses the firm's work on the re-build of the Mk.Vb BL688 -the Spitfire that has arguably the longest documented combat record. We complete this section with a study of the RAF's unsung heroes... the multitude of reconnaissance Spitfire variants flown during World War Two, along with their dedicated camera fits (please check the KeyAero website for more in general on the legendary fighter).
