The display will be particularly poignant because the Darley Moor circuit, near Ashbourne in Derbyshire, was originally an RAF airfield. Also, Darley is less than a minute’s flight from the historic Rolls-Royce factory in Derby where the Spitfire’s legendary Merlin engine was built.
Thundersprint organiser Frank Melling said: “The Spitfire display has been a key part of Thundersprint for many years and having one of these wonderful aircraft fly over an airfield, and area, where it has so many intense connections will be a very moving experience.
“The Spit will be with us as part of the lunch-time celebrations at Sunday’s Thundersprint so it will make a great start to the Masterclass.”
