The Royal Air Force (RAF) has grounded a fleet of World War II Spitfire planes following the death of a pilot in a weekend crash. The announcement raises questions about the legendary single-seat fighter aircraft's participation in events to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings next month. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, which consists of Spitfires, Hurricanes, and Lancaster bombers, has been temporarily paused while the formal investigation is ongoing.
