Another Spit in the air!
 

Businessman who spent £1m restoring Spitfire he found in a scrapyard 10 years ago sees it fly again | Mail Online

Lovely jubbly - does a body good to see that.

And Burma hadn't been mentioned once . . . .

Well done the restorers!

Yep ... Marvellous :D:D:D:D

I believe the owner was presented with one original Spit rivet many years ago and he went from there :eek:

Correct.

Now if we could just get Britain out of the EU and try to rediscover some semblance of 'Britishness' we could continue the trend!

Re-instate national service, bump-up the numbers in the military starting with the unemployed who are capable, turf-out the government, build our trade with the Commonwealth (who just happen to sit in the world's fastest growing economies) make sure British is clearly spoken up and down the land and that its perfectly okay to state that we are basically Christian - and we could be onto a good thing!

We can all dream! ;)

Hell yes! That works for me.

I've got a TSR2 rivet ... any volunteers :ooh:

I'm sure one of our RN members would willingly accept your rivet.

Nah ... It's titanium not gold :}

Lovely sound, keen to hear more but will have to wait until the airshow season is upon us again at Duxford. May Bank Holiday will soon be here.

Excellent to see another take to the skys, Last time i spke with Martin Phillips the owner, he also had a 2 seat Spitfire in restoration, lucky blighter. :)

My gawd Churchill, now there's an original thought! Perhaps if it gets pushed around the politicos will claim it as a government initiative and a shy tot vote winner! :}
