There wer 2 spitfires and a Hurricane, one of the spitfires was a elongated nose recon "spy" job - thats it taking off, no guns fitted just a massive 37.5 litre engine and a top speed of 540mph- an amazing sound as it did it fly by's. The vulcan was dropped as of a fuel leak from one of the tanks , seen it before 3 times - awesome. If you look closely at the gerrman typhoon you will see them cleaning up the fuel spill from a leak - and this was in the static dispay area with a couple of thousad people milling about
The lancaster was FAB, with the pilot putting in a few steep banks in the turns

Looked a great day out that Ray.
A friend of mine in the states (who has 4 Rickman CR900 turbos, though not S+S) has a Mk14 Spitfire and a P51 Mustang.
The Mk14 is undergoing restoration at the moment but he said "If you're ever coming over here, let me know and I'll take you up in the P51".
I've never been to the States...... yet! :lol: :lol:

I've got a customer based at Biggin Hill who has I think 3 fully restored and flying spitfires and a "few" more in various stages of restoration.
we have a couple of control panels to engrave for them and they've promised me a tour of the hanger and hopefully get in sit in one when I deliver them back :D Well chuffed.
