Two Spitfires to soar over Peterborough at 1,000ft on Sunday - exact route and timings

A Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast over Peterborough this weekend will feature two Spitfires, with timings now confirmed by organisers.

The flypast will take place at the Itter Park on Sunday (August 16) for its annual Family Fun Day.

The two Spitfires involved in the flypast - flown by pilots Alistair Lockins and Andy Preece - are set to soar over Itter Park at 4.08pm, with organisers advising attendees to allow 15 minutes either side of this time.

Both fighters will arrive from the south and pass over Itter Park at around 1,000ft, according to organisers.

Operating five Spitfires, two Hurricanes, a Lancaster and a C47 Dakota, the Flight aircraft can be regularly seen in the skies over the UK from May to September each year.

Now in its 16th year, the event will also feature live music, fair rides and a range of food and drink options.

The family fun day is organised by the Friends of Itter Park; a group of volunteers who promote the use of, awareness of and care of the facilities within the park.

This year’s event will be held between 11am and 7pm, with visitors advised to either walk to the park or take public transport as limited parking is available on-site.

Organisers are keen to stress that no drones will be permitted over the event owing to the flypast.
