A BIG THANK YOU ! SFS ! I wasn't smart enough for my Smart Phone to get the link to the Royal Navy Historic Flight's Facebook page that announced that 336 was going to do a Flyover on the 15th. Great Pic! Thanks again !

Both Seafires were at the Goodwood BoB 75th do, as MkIII PP972 was involved as well.

The first time two Seafires have been adjacent and fired up since 1957 in Burma.
