Spitfire start ups.
Spitfire start ups. These can be booked through
Richard Bass at the Spitfire RAF display. Please note there is a charge of £35
to cover fuel and maintenance. The 27Ltr Rolls Royce engine engine burns
between 1 to 1 1/2 gallons a minute of 100 octane aviation fuel. You will be
able to sit in the cockpit for around 20 minutes and start up and run the engine
for two minutes. This is the maximum time it can be run before it starts to over
heat. There are limited slots as the engine takes a long time to cool down so
booking times are approximate. First come first served.
Dicky Bass and the battle
for Europe crew will be setting up their display around the
Spitfire at this years show.
All re
enactors, displays and military vehicle owners will be admitted free to the
show, camping and evening party. You must have booked in and must be part of a
display, walk in re enactors who are not booked in should apply for tickets.
