The commemorative jet will take part in flying displays and air shows throughout the summer and fall, including what will be some pretty spectacular heritage formations with Supermarine Spitfires.

One of the biggest commemorative events will be a mass flypast this Summer at the Royal International Air Tattoo, which will feature throngs of warbirds from that era all taking to the skies at the same time.
