Battle of Britain...over Aviemore?

SHOPPERS in a Highland town were astonished this morning to hear the nostalgic roar of WWII plans overhead.

The two magnificent flying machines passed over Aviemore just after 10.30am and had necks craning in wonder.

The Ross-shire Journal's sister paper the Strathspey and Badenoch Herald heard that a Spitfire was heading north but, as sharp-eyed photographer David Macleod said: "Some were saying they were both Spits and one was in war livery, but no-one seemed to be sure what the plane in front was representing."
