It needs to be directed at the pointy shoed hipsters as the new customer base not the old farts, as reading on here very few will jump ship as they want the Classic bone jarring ride of old myself included. Oh and then there is the noise of the V8 that would be a tough one to leave behind. Smooth suspension and lots of safety kit is readily available from Kia to a Roller but there is little attraction for a fun car there  .

Exactly. Would you take a flight in a state of the art Cessna, or a Fairey Swordfish?
Other classic biplanes are available.

I've flown in the Bucker Jungmeister and Jungman + the Tiger Moth, Dragon Rapide, Stampe and Jackaroo but I would love a trip in a Swordfish if the RN could arrange it There's nothing like an open cockpit and with a little water cooling on the face  Sadly my late father who was a wartime Spitfire pilot passed away before I got my first Plus 8 he would have loved it, it smells just like a plane when you have the roof up the leather hot engine smell just everything about and they have the same rawness about them, we are very fortunate to have temporary custody of these machines and owe Peter Morgan dearly..

Other classic biplanes are available. Uncle Melvyn was telling me the other day that he has had many classic Morgan customers that are pilots. Obviously its all down to the similarity with Spitfires, Tiger Moths and other vintage aircraft. Not sure the new Plus 4 will replicate that feeling

Is Kev really selling his supersport and buying a new plusfour ? Seems an unusual step for someone who likes atmospherics !

Oh no I don't think there is a hope in hell - he just likes to grab everyone's attention every now and again - I think he suffers from ADHD

Oh the irony, imagine winning lottery numbers and then not being able to go out and spend it, how nuts would that be?
