P7832 is the "Genuine" Enniskillen plane, but the plane in the video is P7350 which belongs to BBMF, and is the oldest flying Spitfire.

From what I can find P7832 was Struck of charge (SOC) 28/06/45 and supposedly scrapped.

This video must be from 1994 as P7350 went for a major overhaul in St Athan Wales and came out wearing this paint scheme around that time. It was the. Repainted 3 years later.

P7832 is recognized as a surviving Spitfire, however there is no publicly available information confirming whether it is currently on display in a museum, part of a private collection, or maintained as an airworthy aircraft.

I saw that article but think it is out of date. It was likely only with BBMF for a short time.

Another batch of uploads today with some behind the scenes footage and other flying segments from the UAS open days at Langford Lodge in the late 90s, early 2000s. I'm sure some of the members on here may have attended.

Great to see the military helos like the Wessex/Puma etc.

Would love to track down more camcorder footage from anyone that filmed local aviation in the 80s/90s.
