KEEP your eyes on the skies as a Spitfire returns to its spiritual home...
The iconic aircraft, which played a pivotal part in the Battle of Britain, will be passing over Castle Bromwich Hall Gardens today and tomorrow.
The fly-past has once again being organised to tie in with the venue's popular 1940s weekend.
There is obviously a special link between the local area and the famous fighter plane, with thousands of aircraft assembled at the factory just down the road.
You can expect to see a Mark 9 plane pass overhead at around 1.40pm, with a Mark 16 set to arrive at approximately 1.50pm tomorrow.
Originally Sunday would have seen a rare appearance by a Lancaster bomber, but technical issues have meant that the plane cannot fly this weekend.
In the gardens itself there will be a whole host of classic vehicles, a vintage sale and live music. Refreshments will be available on both days.
Full details of opening times, admission charges and the attractions on offer are available at the Hall Gardens' official website.
