Daedalus airport

When we are practicing flying sport kites with our L-katz team at Stokes Bay, we occasionally see a Spitfire fly over, do some aerobatics and then return again in the direction of Daedalus airport. 

Recently, an approaching storm made us cancel team-flying for the day, but we decided to meet up with the team anyway, for lunch, in the cafe on Daedalus airport.

After we parked the car, and walked along Daedalus Drive ...

... we saw a few small airplanes parked.

And then, as we got closer to the cafe and the observation area, we saw the Spitfire parked, preparing to take off!

'Our' Spitfire has registration BS410, and a bit more on its history can be found here. During lunch, the aircraft refuelled, and then took off again, with another passenger.

A few video snippets of 'our' Spitfire taxi-ing and taking off are here:

In all, the best lunch at Cafe 05 we could have hoped for!

And, sorry (not sorry), but this picture just had to be taken ....
