On a less humorous note; anyone know which airframe can be seen behind the MK1 fuse in the article?

She’s always too busy in her fortresses, mind you she has got a Sandringham, Prince Philip has a Lizzie and William has recently got himself a ‘Kate’ to have a go in.

I don’t think there’s a smilie in existence to properly convey my reaction to this!!!!! Love it!:D

Owned by the Queen…????!!!! 😮

What..P9374?

All along I have been writing a book for Her Majesty and there was I thinking it was for an American client and owner of P9374. Mind you…I think he might live in Queens! 😀

The caption under the first photo in the article reads:

“Restored: The Spitfire flies above the Biggin Hill airbase having been rebuilt four decades after it crashed”

Whatever happened to accuracy?:confused:

The Oxford english dickseanharry, defines expert thus; “X” is an unknown quantity, and a “spurt” is a drip under pressure……seems about right.

It could also mean ‘Ex’ as in the past tense. 😀

I wonder if ARCO or HFL will get a ‘Monk’ on for not being acknowledged as eggspurts as well. :dev2::dev2: (come on it is easter). 🙂

I don’t particularly give a tiny toss for the article’s accuracy etc, but that top picture says it all for me…
