Looks like a fun weekend! Congrats on the Spitfire. I've only flown the 1/48 scale variety. :D

Saw the FB video and the sound was awesome! Congrats on the flight Dave. :spit

BTW, why is it that your brother's done a masterclass on Space, but you haven't already finished 3 on Aviation and Aviation History? I like space and all, but I think more people would be interested in you teaching Aviation than something as fake as "spaceflight". :axe:

Then get-my-head-into-Mustang, and launch for a famil flight. (What a wonderful straightforward go-someplace airplane that is!)

So, just like a Piper Cherokee or a Cessna Cardinal RG then, right? :lol:

That's a beautiful hangar and collection of aircraft. I've flown every type in there but the Spitfire and Lysander. Oh well, Maybe there's hope to fly a Spitfire someday. What a great accomplishment to get to fly the jewels that are entrusted to you.
