Lovely segment on the Old Girl and the amazing feisty volunteer retirees who built her on The One Show. Very moving. YES. SHE IS FLYING. She's up and running. 24 years from plans to the clouds. Dangit! She LIVES!

As a special tribute to Squadron Leader Mark Long, Spitfire TE311 has a new paint scheme.   On her Star Board side, TE311 now wears the fictitious squadron code “L-NG”, with Sqn Ldr Mark Long annotated under the cockpit along with a Sqn Ldr pennant.

Family, friends and colleagues said a final goodbye to Squadron Leader Mark Long this afternoon. His life and career were celebrated in a thoughtful and poignant service, which concluded with a ‘missing man’ flypast by pilots from 29 Squadron. Picture courtesy Charlotte Graham.

Fact of the Day: The B52 can tow up to 4 Buccaneer fighter jets into battle, which saves over 80.085 tons of fuel per mission. Towing jets into battle began in the first world war before solar and wind powered jets were invented. Photographed from a Canberra

Took a bit of a diversion from Arma to work on some 3D Printed parts for a cool flight sim project @FlyAuthentikit - modified their Spitfire spade grip to recreate the 'crackle' grip pattern. Get the files on my Discord: discord.gg/vRngpYxgWa

Never considered you could hand crank a Merlin into life but the @ShuttleworthTru ground crew showed how it was done during the nightshoot on Friday. #Hurricane @DarrenHarbar
