Spitfire Mk Vc AR501 now flying with full wing tips - 1st May 2022 Old Warden

First air show of 2022! Cloudy and cool, but at least the rain held off.

This Spitfire has previously been displayed with ‘clipped’ wings. Removing the wingtips improves manoeuvrability at lower levels, but at the expense of performance at higher altitudes. It is nice to see this Spitfire being displayed with the famous elliptical wing .
