Just in case we have a member with the moniker K5054, today (or maybe tomorrow) is the 80th anniversary of the first flight of the Supermarine Type 300 prototype K5054. Apparently a few Spitfires will be buzzing round southampton with one taking off from the airport round about now (1100-1200) .

Tally ho and where's my spitfire ale gone. :cheers: :party:

I'm glad this particular birthday has been remembered, though as Allan says, whether it's today or tomorrow is still disputed. Ah well, like the Queen, she can have two birthdays. ;)

And rest in peace, Ray Hanna. :)
