Sunday had a 30 mins flight in a Spitfire at Duxford, Superb, bit like a old classic car. What you forget is that these are old flightier aircraft and are very basic in the cockpit. When we landed the pilot asked me what I thought of the Spitfire, bit like an old MGA, I replied, No Said he, more like a MG TC, beautiful to fly but like a supermarket trolley on the ground.
They handle beautiful in the sky and super sensitive.
Wonderful present from my Son and family. Granddaughter spent a lot of the day filming Spitfires as she is doing WW2 at school. After the flight I though I was being given a video of my experience taken from the cockpit. GD very excited as she is going to hopefully link all together for a film. Bit of a shock to be asked for £95 for a 30 mins film of my head and horizon. But what a day. Barrel rolls being towed behind a 27 litre Merlin engine.
If you have the chance take it, you don't want the film though.
