Grew up with a sky full of aircraft.
2 local RAFVR squadrons of Meteors
A de Havilland plant producing Hornets, Vampires, Venoms, Doves, Herons and Comets.
A real airport Speke, with lots of DC3, DC4, Rapide etc activity.
All within ten miles, and also a constant flow of Transatlantic traffic for Burtonwood. My enduring memory of which is 2 full squadrons of B36's passing in formation.
That collection's enough to interest anybody in flying
