| FLYPAST: The Spitfire, built in Castle Bromwich, played a pivotal part in the Second World War |
MARSTON Green residents should keep their eyes on the skies tonight (Wednesday) as one of the most famous planes in the world will be passing overhead.
A Spitfire will be flying over Birmingham Airport at around 7.40pm this evening, following a ten minute display at the Belfry Golf Club.
Once the demonstration is over, the iconic aircraft will be passing over the airport runway before departing to the south.
The flight comes on the day (June 18) that Winston Churchill made his famous “This was their finest hour" speech. Addressing the House of Commons in 1940, the wartime Prime Minister spoke of the approaching “Battle of Britain”, in which the Spitfire played such a crucial part.
