We live about a mile from the M25 and we are always seeing vintage planes (more often than not, Spitfires) my wife doesn’t believe me when I tell her they use the M25 to navigate!

It's quite inspiring to see the elliptical shape of the wing and sound as a British person. If you were from a british military family who raised you following the war then walking around the BBMF hangar will bring quite a moment. It's well worth a visit.
My respect to the professionals on all sides.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I totally agree whenever I visit Duxford and look at the guys working on the Warbirds I find it a very moving experience full of thoughts of my late father.
Whenever I hear that V12 it sends a shiver down your spine looking forward to seeing the Lancaster, Hurricane and Spitfire at the Torbay Airshow on 2 and 3rd June.
I must get across to see the BBMF sometime though.

Me too. I unfortunately missed a tour with a group of fellow Morgan owners a couple of years ago (needed to be at home  ).

When we play golf at Gravesend a Spitfire often flies over and does aerobatics above the course and the Thames. Lovely sound as it passes overhead. Probably one of the leisure flights out of Biggin Hill.

Repeat visits can be done. We could be up for that.... Caroline's sister lives quite near, between Lincoln and the Humber. Let me know if you arrange it, please!
