Many Brigg people's eyes are set to reach for the skies over the town today to catch a rare glimpse of a surviving Spitfire fighter plane.
It will be making fly-pasts over hospitals in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and the Midlands in support of NHS staff and their efforts during the Coronavirus emergency.
Weather permitting, the Aircraft Restoration Company's Spitfire will be leaving Humberside Airport, Kirmington, at 5pm today and is due over Scunthorpe General Hospital at 5.05pm. So it will be over the Brigg area between those times, although the exact route has not been disclosed.
Get your binoculars, mobile phone cameras or just your eyes ready at 5pm and scan the skies! And let's not forget the sound of its iconic engine.
Having flown over many hospitals, it will complete the 'sortie' over Grimsby's at 6.03pm before returning to land at Humberside Airport circa 6.10pm.
Local folk lucky enough to see and/or hear the plane tonight are welcome to donate to the NHS Spitfire Project on a Just Giving Page. Link here...
The Spitfire has 'Thank NHS' written in letters on the underside of its wings.
Spitfires operated from Hibaldstow and Kirton Lindsey airfields during the Second World War.
The Aircraft Restoration Company, based at the famous Duxford Airfield in Cambridgeshire, says: "Over the course of the summer we are hoping to cover our blue, photo-reconnaissance Spitfire PL983 'L' in 80,000 names, each one nominated by you! All the money made from the nominations will be donated to NHS Charities Together to support the incredible people within the NHS who have been the nations heroes throughout this pandemic."
Our pictures show a different Spitfire accompanied by a Hurricane over Brigg some years ago (above) and (below) the same planes from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight which arrived from RAF Coningsby, with the Lancaster bomber, in 2010 for a WW2-themed event organised by Brigg Amateur Social Historians (BASH) at the Servicemen's Club. We photographed them from the top of the old cast iron footbridge (since removed) at Brigg railway station.

My husband left me for another woman and i wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr unity, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me.
