I have a concern that the F15s that took off from RAF Lakenheath,should not have been where they were and doing what they should not have been. I'm glad that the crews are safe. But, there was a deal. #UKgov #MOD #RAF #UKPM

1 April…

While 2026 leans into 90 years since the Spitfire first took to the skies… … the people, the aircraft, the quiet professionalism that has carried through since 1918.

Proud to have played even a small part in that story.
