The street, more famous for tailors than planes, will be taken over by the Concours on Savile Row, an event that will feature a variety of historic and interesting vehicles.

One of the more unusual vehicles will be a partially restored Supermarine Spitfire — and the only surviving aircraft linked to any of the airmen involved in the real-life Great Escape from Stalag Luft III in March 1944.

As one of only 240 Spitfire aeroplanes still in existence worldwide, AA810 also has a racing heritage fitting for the Concours display, as it was flown operationally by one of the most famous pre-war racing drivers of all time, AFP Fane.

The plane was shot down in March 1942, and the wreckage was rediscovered in July 2018. The aim is to restore the plane, using as much of the original as possible, and return it to the skies again.

During the Concours, to show off the restoration that’s been completed so far, the plane’s fuselage and replica engine will be on display inside the Gieves & Hawkes store on the corner of Savile Row.
