For the second time this year Spitfire 161/PV202 returned to Ireland. It arrived just after 18.00hrs at Weston.
The three Yaks arrived shortly after.

I would have thought that 161 might have visited Casement?

Hi 202,

It turns out that the official opening of the new terminal has been postponed. The Spitfire however will still depart for Duxford this Saturday from Weston.

Regards,
Mark

Hi all
Perhaps the pilot could be persuaded to "divert" to Baldonnel, just as 261 gets airborne, with a camera or two nearby.I'm told that there an insurance difficulty preventing 161's entry to Baldonnel.
regards

Hi Mark D

Any idea at all about what time 161 might be departing?

Thank you
