  • Hellcat Engine Run

    That was  the plan anyway  -Hellcat  has  just been out onto airfield and then the  rains  came….and no that  doesn’t  mean it  will be flying at the  display this week end!

     

    Martyn C  caught these pictures  just  before the  weather  changed

    Spitfire Mk Vb and Hawk 75  have also  been out  for engine  run ups, pictures  may well  follow.
