Perfect weather, great drive, fantastic flight (I got to fly it a short while). As the Spitfire bumped across the grass heading for the run way to take off the pilot said to me "I hope you don't mind the bumpy ride"......I replied "I drive a Morgan.....I'm used to it!!".

I've thought to myself sometimes driving a Morgan might be a bit like flying a Spitfire.......the Spitfire was far smoother and easier to fly than the Morgan is to drive :-) (admittedly I only controlled the joy stick!).

Two British icons in one day......and great bank holiday weather.....a sublime day :-)


What a great experience Congratulations on the Birthday too cheers.
