A year or two back I was chatting to Geoffrey Wellum who is one of the last surviving BoB pilots. I asked him what he had been doing recently and he replied that he'd been flying a Spitfire, I'm ashamed to say that for a moment I though "Oh dear, Geoffrey's mind is finally going" but of course I was wrong, and he had been flying in one of the two seaters out of Kidlington, on a day specially arranged for BoB pilots.

Great seeing this guy flying his old C47 - can't be many C47 pilots who are older than the aircraft!
