Morning,
Weather looks like brightening up in time for the spitfires sections tour of the South East, I was going to go to Popham as the was a rumour that one section would overfly there, however having looked at the routes both "Green" and "Blue" sections overfly Aldershot and "white" section goes slightly to the South Of Aldershot.....I dont know where to go now lol

Thanks Tarnish, maps arnt brilliant but Aldershot seems to be aiming point for 2 of the sections, where in Aldershot is anyones guess though....Im thinking Tweseldown may be a good point and as its only a five min drive I think I will opt for that

Excellent day at Goodwood.
Not all 41 aircraft made it due weather, but I think there were 25 Spitfires, 6 Hurricanes, 1 Blenheim plus a Mustang cameraship.
Will try and post log and pics tonight or tomorrow

Done a bit of digging
The Spitfire Hurricane duo at 14.27 were
G-MKXI and G-HUPW
the two spits down 06 at 14.47 were
G-CCCA and G-ILDA
and the group of 2 Hurricanes and 4 Spitfires across the field at 17.27 were
P7350,AB910,MK356,PZ865,LF363 and TE311
If anyone can tie up the six down 24 at 15.25 it would be very appreciated
