I know I've posted all this on the earlier thread, but it may be of interest to those who haven't seen it before. Geoffrey Wellum lives not far from me in Mullion, Cornwall (he appears in the film at Mullion Cove). Over the years I have seen him and chatted with him from time to time, notably in the last year or two at the local garage where I had a retirement job until recently. Geoffrey still drives, or at least still did up to late last year, as he used to come along to put his car through the car wash from time to time.
Last summer when I saw Geoffrey and asked him what he had been doing since I last saw him, he told me he had been flying a Spitfire. Just for a moment I had the unworthy thought "at 91 the old boy's finally lost it", but he went on to explain he had attended an open day at Kidlington where he and two other Battle of Britain veterans were taken up in the two-seat Spitfire. He said as was if 70 years had just slipped away and there he was back flying his beloved Spit again.
Here's a link with some great photos.
