It is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the RAF and the forgotten people from outside the UK that were involved in the Battle of Britain.
Pilot creates Spitfire shape over England. |
Inspired by Boeing’s 787 outline stunt in August last year Andy McKee decided to attempt to recreate a Spitfire outline in his plane he built in his garage. Planning out the route was a challenge as the airspace around London is congested, plus Andy would be flying the entire time by hand without the help of autopilot.
The reason for this flight is, as 2018 is the year of the 100th anniversary of the RAF, so to remember ‘The Few’ (the pilots) and also the many (ground crew, fabricators) and particularly the forgotten people from outside the UK that were involved in the Battle of Britain.
