A team of aircraft restorers hope to fly a WW2 Spitfire from London Biggin Hill Airport to celebrate Tom Moore's 100th birthday on April 30, provided it is permitted by the Department for Transport. During the war, Biggin Hill was a base for Spitfire and Hurricane fighters defending London and the South East. Tom Moore recently raised £22 million for the NHS by doing 100 laps of his garden. Alex Monk of the Biggin Hill Heritage Hangar told the Telegraph: “It will be a bit of a morale booster for us all really, to see a Spitfire in the sky. It’s been the symbol of freedom in the past and quite an icon for Tom.”
