162 marks 75 years since first Spitfire flight
« on: March 05, 2011, 04:42:59 pm »
Former Irish Air Corps Spitfire (IAC 162) now the 'Grace Spitfire' has performed a flyby to mark the 75th Anniversary of the first test flight of the type (I'm pretty sure at that stage it was still being planned to be called the Shrew).
