Spitfire and Merlin at Sevenoaks School.

A few weeks after the event, but as a token of thanks to the chaps here are some photos of spitfireman’s lovely Mk II replica and MerlinPete’s amazing Beaufighter Merlin XX on display at Sevenoaks School as part of science week. Two top gents, with two top toys! The kids were seriously impressed, and even my class of mainly girls that I took over loved it. I had the pleasure of having lunch with Baz, a man with some excellent tales to tell!

Some footage of the Merlin being run here (if only I could work out how to embed….):
