A BATTLE of Britain Spitfire will take centre stage in Altrincham next month.

The iconic aircraft will be on display at Sainsbury's in Altrincham on April 25.

Its appearance will help to mark the 75th anniversary of the start of the Battle of Britain.

A display team of fighter pilots, who will be in flight gear, will be on hand to answer any questions, and help people to sit in the cockpit. There will be a charge of £3 for this, with a photograph.

Also present will be 318 Squadron and 145 Air Training Corps (ATC). Members of the ATC will be in store bag packing for the day and will also be able to answer any questions about the group.
