The U.K. leg of Iron Maiden's much vaunted 'Legacy Of The Beast Tour' kicks off next week in Newcastle on Tuesday 31st July, with a Spitfire buzzing the stage during the opening number Aces High. The plane is a 90% sized replica of an actual Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vb registration number AA 853 from 302 Squadron that saw active duty in 1941.  Photo: Press. With less than 2 months to go until Stradbally Hall opens its gates and welcomes 55,000 picknickers, there is still time to get training and enter this year’s Tour de Picnic.
