Just as a sidenote, there is an annual event called Project Propeller which involves GA pilots of today volunteering their time and aircraft to fly WW2 air crew from all over the country to one place so they can get together and have a good old knees up. Also a great chance to put them back in the air (I shall be demoting myself to Radio Operator and Map Reader - my 2 allocated former Spitfire/Hurricane pilots will be doing the flying!).
This year it's taking place at Old Warden at the end of the month. I believe it's all pretty much organised now, but if any of you still do any GA flying, perhaps worth considering next year?
