That is very sobering! Some of the stories I've read and heard about how pilots returned and unfortunately died is simply quite horrifying! I didn't realise just how tight the cockpits of spits are but I had the oppurtunity to sit in a replica Mark 9 a few weeks ago, it really hit home just how hard...

I can't tell you how much I want to do a Battle of Britain dig! Don't think I'll ever get the chance unfortunately but one can dream!

I bet your glad ypu couldnt attend this year now mate arent you? Hurricane R4118 was flying at an event in Lincolnshire i went to a few weeks back and its absolutely stunning!

The popular historian Dan Snow was covering it! I watched a bit of it but it wasn't very interesting! More shots of g...

Well unfortunately one of Biggin Hill heritage hangars Spitfires,MK912 crash landed shortly after take off due to sudden loss of power!
