Two Spitfires Over Ely

A Memory of Ely.

Yes it's been confirmed; two Spitfires from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will fly over Ely Cathedral at 1:45pm on Saturday 29th September in memory of all those, both servicemen and civilians, who served at RAF Ely Hospital during it's existence. I am holding an RAF Ely Hospital Reunion at the Lamb Hotel for my Dad and his friends who served at the hospital in the 1950's. Several people who served with my Dad are sadly no longer with us but we will be thinking of them on Saturday. For younger people out there who may not be familiar with the Spitfire and it's capabilities watch "Spitfire Night" at 9pm on Wednesday 26th on the Yesterday Channel. You will be impressed by it's capabilities and even today's jet pilots are in awe of this plane and seek the opportunity to fly it! Let's hope we get good weather on Saturday and enjoy the view!
Best wishes Carol Greig
