The Spitfire K5054 completed a historic flight tour across the UK from April 7 to 17, commemorating 90 years since its first flight. Departing Exeter Airport, it spent about 40 minutes in the air, often accompanied by the RAF’s Dakota. The tour included collaborations with various RAF aircraft, celebrating key Spitfire sites. The event not only honored the iconic plane but also served as a fundraising effort for the Mark Long Trust and RAF Benevolent Fund, featuring an auction for flights in a wartime Spitfire. The journey marks an important milestone in aviation history.
