Two British pilots have landed back in the UK after flying around the world in a newly restored Silver Spitfire. Steve Brooks, 58, from Burford, Oxfordshire, and Matt Jones, 45, from Exeter, Devon, took four months to circumnavigate the globe in the first trip of its kind in a Spitfire, which involved stopping off at 100 locations in 30 countries. The project, called Silver Spitfire – The Longest Flight, started and finished at Goodwood Airport the base of Boultbee Flight Academy in Sussex. It’s the first-ever school for Spitfire pilots.
