Off playing next weekend and the weekend after, looking forward to it as I'll be running the flight sims but will get chance to see a Jet Provost having an outing if the weather is good.
 
Ive sat in alsorts, Hawks t1 & t2 to name but two but never a spit tho I live in hope. Mind you I really want to have a flight in a Toccano but I'll just have to wait and see. Id love to get my PPL but thatll cost a lot of money, still I got a lotto ticket so who knows.
 
Have just watched it, great programme. At the end, the fast low run loud whistling Merlin was very emotional...

We were visiting the RAF Cosford museum years ago, en route to Iron Bridge.
Me and my son (aged 7) walked around looking at all the aircraft, while my wife and daughter did their thing.
As we looked at the planes, I noticed an old chap showing a father and son the cockpit of a Spitfire, they were standing on a raised platform.
So we slowly made our way to the steps and just stood watching, the old guy asked the father and son if they would like to sit in the cockpit, no thanks say's the father :eek::doh:doh and they climb down.
"Is it possible for us to have a look PLEASSSSE" I ask, "yes come up" and like a shot we were up there.
Before he had finished asking if my son would like to sit in it, I had plopped him in and then came my time, this was a dream come true after years of watching these beautiful craft standing and flying. I grew up around Spitfires as they had a couple at Booker air park, near to where I grew up. Anyway, I slid in and closed the door, then was allowed to shut the canopy, It fitted like a glove and a wish had come true for me :bow:bow
