Silver Spitfire
Two British aviators will fly a newly restored Spitfire 27,000 miles around the world in the first trip of its kind.
Pilots Steve Brooks, 58, from Burford, Oxfordshire, and Matt Jones, 45, from Exeter, will stop off at 100 locations in 30 countries over a five-month period from August 5 to Christmas time.
The pair will first head to Scotland, then westbound to places including the US, Canada, Japan, Russia and India and back to Britain with a single-seated Mk IX Spitfire, followed by a chase plane for safety.
