FIVE ALIVE

摘要

Following restoration work by The Spitfire Company at Biggin Hill in Kent, Supermarine Spitfire Vc EE602 (G-IBSY) returned to the air on May 16. The aircraft is registered to UK-based owners Fairfax Spitfires LLP. Speaking about the acquisition, Chris Fairfax said: "My wife Elaine and I have always had an interest in World War Two military history and of the RAF in particular. My father was a navigator in Lancasters and Mosquitos during the war and stayed on in the RAF until 1956. "I was brought up with aeroplanes and I even did my gliding licence and PPL through the RAF cadets whilst I was at school. Spitfires have always stirred our emotions and we always loved watching them at displays and hearing the wonderful Merlin engines."
