Cornwall Armed Forces Day is taking place on Sat 21/6/14 at Pool, between Camborne and Redruth. http://www.heartlandscornwall.com/event ... ay-175.php

They are advertising a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire Fly Past at 16:20 BST. Nothing listed on Battle of Britain Memorial Flight website, display section. Wondered if anybody knows more about this.

Think it then headed out towards Helston / Culdrose way.
Heard what sounded like a throttled back merlin at about 16:00. But thought it was a bit early. ;)
