BO Krabbelgruppe meets Düsseldorf
Well it was when I took this shot back in 2017 , but I have seen pics of the Spit flying since then . Just search " AR501 " and you will see what I mean . Shot taken at Old Warden airfield , home to the Shuttleworth Collection . One of the first things you note about this Spitfire is the clipped wings unlike the normal wing shape one normally associates with a Spitfire .
Supermarine Spitfire MK Vc AR501 was built by Westland Aircraft at Yeovil as a Mark VC and issued in 1942 to No 310 (Czech) Squadron based at Duxford. During 1942 and 1943 she undertook escort duties to USAAF bombers, including the famous ‘Memphis Belle’, of the 91st Bombardment Group. After WW2 AR501 was used as an instructional airframe at Loughborough College before being acquired by the Shuttleworth Collection in 1961, together with the Collection’s Sea Hurricane, in exchange for a Jet Provost.
In 1968 the aircraft was returned to flight for the Battle of Britain film. A major overhaul was carried out in the early 1970s. The aircraft was airworthy from 1977-2005, then removed from service for overhaul. AR501 was displayed for many years in the clipped wing configuration which further improved maneuverability at low levels, bearing the livery of No.310 (Czech) Squadron while on operations in 1942-43. In mid 2000 the elliptical wingtips were refitted when the aircraft took part in the filming of Pearl Harbor, in which it played a fictitious member of an Eagle Squadron. In 2005 the Spitfire was due for a major overhaul but, as the previous significantly major overhaul had been as far back as 1975, after careful inspection the decision was made to undertake a complete strip down and rebuild to original specification with areas of the structure still showed evidence of wartime repairs.
Following a 10 year in house restoration by Shuttleworth’s full-time engineering team and the collection’s skilled volunteers, Spitfire MK Vc AR501 made her first post restoration flight back on March 20th 2018 and wears the original livery of RAF 310 (Czech) Squadron, with whom she saw front-line service during 1942-1943.

A worker bee's work is never done, such as the case here where this worker bee is just covered in pollen ! This was taken this afternoon as I was trimming some deadwood out of the Rose of Sharon bushes, there was a lot of these guys hard at work, couldn't resist photographing a few.
According to EUROSTAT, in EU Countries, the fatal accidents at work every year reach 5,700, while according to estimates of the World Labour Organization other 159,500 people die from diseases caused by their jobs. Combining these two figures it comes out 1 dead for “work” every three minutes and a half, every single day….
A systematic evaluation of risk at the workplace, especially in high-risk sectors such as construction, health and 'agriculture, can dramatically reduce that number.
