Frome Spitfire Squadron - 'Frome Spits'

Logbook: A disparate group of RAF Spitfire pilots roaming the skies of Somerset and Wiltshire playing croquet, drinking Pimms, raising money (RAFBF), raising laughter and raising HELL! Don't approach them, but if you have to communicate with them, just say 'Fancy some tea and tiffin!' and they will be, literally eating out of your hands, saying 'Tally Ho!'.. Keep watching the skies, catch them at Frome Carnival, Frome Indie Market, Lacock at War.. Find us on Facebook: 'Frome Spitfire Squadron'
