This is off topic but I know many of you are, like me, Spitfire fans and take part in /watch the displays over the White Cliffs etc.
I need to pass on an urgent message to any of you who were intending to go Spitfire watching or (even flying with) this weekend. Sadly ALL the flights planned for Friday 4th, Saturday 5th, Sunday 6th and Monday 7th of May are cancelled due to the Airfield being water logged and not safe to fly from. This means the Spitfire flights/and displays over Capel Le Ferne will not happen this bank holiday.
All flights are now rescheduled to happen between Thursday 14th to Sunday 17th June. If you have a ticket then you need to contact Steve Burt at [email protected] in order to rebook your slot. If you were thinking of flying in June then you need to be quick as obviously there is much pressure on slots having lost 4 days flying.
If you were going to watch from the Battle of Britain memorial at Capel Le Ferne then sadly there will be no flying Spits this bank holiday.
For those who aren't involved and don't know what I'm on about. I took this photo on my flight last year
