Spitfires over the Forth

[vet111s]

Through in North Berwick this week and have seen a number of WW2 fighters flying overhead. Sometimes singly and sometimes in pairs. Sound amazing!
Any idea what they’re up to?

Preparing for the Russian invasion!

That's all we have left.

Are you certain they are full size? There are a number of 3/4 (i think) replicas that live in Scotland. First good weather in a while so maybe boys playing with toys?

Mate hot a ride in a Mustang last year when it was up for the air show. Quite fast apparently. (but that was an England based a/c)

[vet111s]

Could have possibly been replicas though they certainly sounded real including the lower rev and supercharger sound from what looked very much like a p51.
Have seen a similar collection at the goodwood revival (spitfire, hurricane, p51).

There's at least one at Perth. Memories from a previous meet - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=34187&p=410624&hili ... re#p410624

You might be right in the replica line. Another crossed today and was low enough to appreciate size (and volume). Sounded much like the original but fitted with a silencer!

Sure it wasn't our Jim with a bodykit and cherrybomb?

There's 3 replicas at Perth these days and they are out and about fairly regularly. All with different camouflage schemes (there may be more, but I just can't see them)
