I used to hang around Eastleigh in the early 60s, had a Saturday job at the Aero Club. Had one or two "taxi rides" in G-AIDN, but sadly never a flight. Thought I was going to get lucky one day but it didn't happen!!

Corsair's shots brought back memories. I seem to recall there was a small plaque somewhere in the terminal building commemorating the first flight of the prototype Spitfire from the airfield in March 1936. It was easily missed.
