Tropicalbirdy,
Thanks for your reply.
Try entering ' low Spitfire ' or similar on youtube -Ray Hanna doing his bit, but please be warned there are some naughty words from his victim; most people have the speakers turned UP not down !
Will reply more fully when I get a moment,
Thanks also to Treadigraph, I didn't want to say it but yes the pub at Westerham has indeed been taken over by a chain, who are clueless as to what they've got.
Better in my biased opinion to concentrate on Dunsfold, which is largely as it was built by the Canadians in 1942 ( the nearby village, Cranleigh, has Maple trees lining the high street to this day ) - now used by the TV programme ' Top Gear ' and also Mercedes trying to train rich idiots to drive their McLaren supercar - I've been back several times recently - I left voluntarily in 1992/3 - for modern archaelogical purposes.
All the best,
And I'm sure I could get you some simulator / flying time should you ever venture this end of the world, though it's a long held plan of mine to sail down your way...
