Enstone airfield, Sunday 20th June 2021

[Airbus A346]

With very low cloud and rain curtailing the Fly-In at Turweston, and having never been to Enstone it was time to investigate. It is a maze of hangars, hangarettes,

sheds and tents. Being Sunday a lot was locked away but still worth a visit. The observant amongst you should recognize the Stearman, now in a poor condition

The clubs plan is to build twelve Spitfire replicas and form a Spitfire Squadron. They are quite happy to let you into the hangar for a closer look and to take photos provided you put a few pounds in the donation box.
