Spitfire crash promotes Marine Theatre show. Lyme Regis, UK

A crashed Spitfire at Marine Theatre


ONLOOKERS couldn’t miss the latest sight in Lyme Regis – a Spitfire crashed into the Marine Theatre.

Promoters rigged up the mock air disaster to promote a production called The Mysterious and Fantastical Wartime Tale of the Salty Socks of Dunkirk.

The three quarters sized replica aircraft was created by theatre manager Nigel Day, who also works for the Bridport based Wotzat installations and visual effects company.

There is also a smoke and a flame effect for the evenings although the theatre has to tell the coastguard daily of times when it will appear to be on fire.

The Shanty Theatre Company show is on a six week run at the Theatre over the summer, from July 27 to September 4.
