All info could (and can still) be found at:

https://www.silverspitfire.com/

especially the flight tracker is useful, as it continuously updates the current position of this bird...

It's photo-flight (a short tour over Lelystad and the IJsselmeer, followed by a circuit and landing) on the third was also mentioned in the appropiate day-topic...

It just went for a top-up at the fuel station and has returned to the Aviodrome platform.

G-IRTY left Lelystad around 12.50 lt this afternoon, through the one and only gap in the fog cover for today. And of course, I arrived at 13.00 :evil:
