A Battle of Britain Spitfire will be on display in Altrincham on Saturday.

The iconic aircraft will be in Sainsbury’s car park on Lloyd Street in an appearance designed to mark the 75th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain.

A team of fighter pilots from the Lytham St Annes Spitfire display team will be on hand to answer questions. There will be a charge of £3 for over-7s to have a picture taken in the cockpit, with money going towards plans to build a museum to celebrate the Fylde Coast’s rich aviation history.

Also present will be 318 Squadron and 145 Air Training Corps (ATC), and interested boys and girls can speak to the team about life in the ATC.

Members of the ATC will be bag-packing in Sainsbury’s for the day.
