Slipping the bonds.....

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth

With grass cuttings flying everywhere, Czech marked Supermarine Spitfire LFIXE SL633/N633VS 'JT-10' departs Shoreham late on the Sunday after the ill-fated 2015 RAFA Airshow.

 

She served with various Air Forces including Israel and Burma before being restored by the ARC at Duxford for the Historic Flight at Paine Field in Seattle, Washington, USA.

 

Visiting the UK during the 75th Battle of Britain Anniversary year, she appeared earlier at the Royal International Air Tattoo held at RAF Fairford.
