The Grace Spitfire Gathering 2017

Saturday 3 June 2017 was the date for this year's Grace Spitfire Gathering, an event that brings together supporters of the Grace Spitfire, all of whom there on the day can be seen on the group photograph above.

As exemplified by the photographs, the weather was perfect for the flying displays that were part of the day, Richard Grace flying ML407 in the morning in a solo display and in the afternoon Richard flew Seafire IIIc PP972 and Dave Puleston piloted Spitfire ML407 in two solo displays and a superb formation display.
