Thanks for that Mazzy.
I am reasonably laid back about it as I have been lucky with the weather overall to date.
The bonus is I spent the morning in a hangar on a private strip on friends farm just up the road.
In the hangar is a private collection of a P51 Mustang,a Harvard,an Auster,a Stearman and a modern Cessna .
The Cessna is used for business trips ,the rest for fun!
The P51 was having a service and a lot of the panels were off,I could stand underneath the engine with a lot of room above me,it's not until you are up close that you realise how large they were.It does aeros over here during the summer ,when it sounds and looks great.
Sadly,just a bit out of my price range!
