On Saturday June 1 I ticked ‘flying a Spitfire’ off my bucket list. What an experience (bought for me by my loving wife, who took out extra life insurance but sadly won’t get a payout this time). The weather was perfect and I totally enjoyed the whole totally awesome thing. This despite the ‘briefing’ (essentially (a) don’t do this if you’re of a nervous disposition and (b) here are the simple things to do in case of an emergency (WAY to complicated to repeat here, or to remember at the time)). Heartily to be recommended, especially if you have a very generous friend or relative…
