Re: Did I hear that there were only a couple Spits still operational in the UK ?

I believe they are at RAF Waddington where at least one Lancaster in flying condition is located. My son in law is stationed at Waddington as a USAF exchange officer.

I saw an obscure BBC docu awhile back of a Brit woman who owned one of the few still flying .. one of the two-seater versions.
Her husband had bought it originally, then he died not long after it was restored, so she got qualified and took it to airshows, etc.

Just looked it up .. Carolyn Grace

Enjoyed your profile bio, btw   *salute*

Not RAF Waddington, but RAF Coningsby. Coningsby is located about 15 miles east of Waddington. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight is located at RAF Coningsby. Lancaster, Spitfires and Hurricanes.
