It hasn’t been a great year for the airshows we all enjoy with the current situation continuing to carry on so there hasn’t been too much to report on recently. The P-51D Mustang G-SHWN that the Foundation operates at shows has been out and about quite a lot in recent months in the hands of owner Shaun Patrick. Christopher Murkin caught Warhorse in action recently at her base at Duxford where she is under the care of the Aircraft Restoration Company.
Words by Neil Cotten and many thanks to Christopher for kindly allowing us to use his photo’s.

331 Squadron pilot Henning Leifseth lost his life when his Spitfire came down over Dunkirk after being hit by ground fire in July 1942.
A brave man RIP

I know many people were hoping to be celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Battle Of Britain at Duxford this coming weekend, with the Norwegian Spitfire Foundation due to display the P-51D Mustang G-SHWN at the show.
Several Spitfires were also due to feature in the display. Hopefully with your help the Foundation can add their own Spitfire to the line up at a future show. I think we’d all love to see PL258 gracing the skies at Duxford at some point in the future. See below how you can help make this possible.
The photo below is the lovely Spitfire MkIX RR232 which has been operated by the Norwegian Spitfire Foundation at certain events.
