Five Spitfires at Army Flying Museum's Wings and Wheels

The iconic aircraft will appear at the Wallop Wheels and Wings event, the Army Flying Museum’s annual fundraiser at Middle Wallop Airfield on Saturday, July 11.

Chief executive of the Army Flying Museum Lucy Johnson said: "Wallop Wheels and Wings is the Army Flying Museum’s main fundraising event and a chance to showcase some of the best vintage aircraft, cars and motorbikes on the beautiful site of Middle Wallop airfield.

"We are so excited to be celebrating the 90th anniversary of the first Spitfire flight as part of the event and cannot thank the pilots enough for their contribution.

"It will be a joy to see these iconic and much loved aircraft landing at Middle Wallop once again."

This will be the largest gathering of Spitfires at Middle Wallop in more than 25 years, marking the airfield’s role during the Second World War.

Highlights include a fly-past from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire, a display by the Rolls-Royce Heritage Flight Spitfire PR Mk.XIX, and two Spitfires flying into the event.

Visitors can also see Spitfire Mk.IX LZ842 up close, the engineering project of Mark Bennett for over 15 years.
