Wow!
Those shots of the Spitfire ripped in two are horrifying!
Thank goodness Sir Tim was able to see her put through her paces.
Hard to believe it was almost twenty years ago.

My NH799 Flickr Album from the show:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/errolgc/s ... 809346145/

It's likely to be a few months before I can see NH799 in final scheme (maybe June show at Ardmore, before it moves to Omaka permanently).

Sir Tim Wallis actually survived three Spitfire accidents.

And the "June show" at Ardmore is on the 31st of May.

Superb photos Errol!
