Spitfire out + about
At about 1115 today a Griffon engined Spitfire flew over my house in Rotherham heading south. Had obviously been doing a display or flypast somewhere. Anyone know where - Great Yorks Show p'haps?

Quite possibly T.IX NH341/DB-E/G-CICK which flew south at about that time but has a late Merlin 266 which may sound like a Griffon ?

Hi it flew past my house low then did a steep left bank then headed South. My location is Trimdon Station Co Durham. Also believe he was at DTV doing a overshoot, previous to me seeing him regards Noel

Hi David im curious now after seeing its route on ADSB. Thanks to rh226, thinking it could be a NAVEX or some form of PR event regards Noel
