Mr.Mugel Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well, wanted to do a short flight with the Spitfire, nice weather, Goodwood -> Popham, some fun in the air, no big deal. Speeding up on the green Sorry Goose, but it´s time to buzz the tower Time to drop down and scare the rich folk on the Golf course Climbing out heading for Popham Remembered that I don´t know how much fuel I took with me. Well, top tank empty, bottom tank... well, 5 Gallons, oops... Low power heading back to Goodwood, was about a third of the distance between them and Goodwood is easier to land at with all those runways Looking good, coming in, engine still turning Before climbing out, I checked, could have stayed in the air some more... well, seconds... 1 Gallon left in the lower tank Remember, allways check your fuel before leaving boldly.

JMBIII Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Very neat pix. Question: Not having the Spit myself, what's with the two color underside of the wings ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Excellent set and a disaster averted. 28 minutes ago, jmbiii said: Very neat pix. Question: Not having the Spit myself, what's with the two color underside of the wings ? A good question. It was apparently used from 1938 to June 1940 for recognition purposes so they were not mistaken for enemy aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
