Thats great news, I’ll be out there Dec/Jan.
I popped up there, plenty of pilots there but us great unwashed were kept at a distance, the Spit did a nice wing waggle as it flew over. Nice statue, well overdue.

Left me with a lump in my throat, not the usual tally ho-chocks away type of thing. A very thoughtful and moving film, I must get the book now.
That was really good, esp as they were able to find a good number of the builders.
Being in a small museum has probably saved its originality, and stopped it being “restored” many times over.
I got this on my point and shoot..

What I notice here that most the posters of the more left/liberal/pc vein seem to be the ones most intolerant of views which disagree with their own. The reasonI posted this is that I have a German lady lives near me who was living on the outskirts of Dresden at the time. I had a chance to speak to her about this yesterday. She said she would quite happily open the memorial, as a child she “looked” Jewish, and that was enough that she could rarely leave the house without all sorts of grief from the locals.Those that say the majority of Germans didn’t support Hitler should read Victor Klemperers’ book and then keep quiet.
One of her brothers was in killed serving with the Luftwaffe,the other survived the Eastern Front and died last year. Post war she met and married a Japanese man, one of the nicest people I have ever met, who died 4 years ago. He served as a boy soldier in Manchuria, now you want to go on about Dresden…read what happened there and then say the atom bombs were wasted.
A couple of classic Spitfire shots there.
Smashing pics there.
Perusing this thread there seem to be many people saying that the Welly wasn’t a bomber. I was up there a couple of weeks ago and one of the chaps there showed me the bomb racks that had been taken out of her. I am some what confused. If she was a bomber that was converted to a transport and is now back in bomber config where’s the problem, she’ll look far better in camo anyhow.
Thanks for your hospitality, to sit in a Spit of any kind is a buzz and the work you have put into yours is amazing.My mate was well chuffed to.
Some lovely shots there.
It was great to meet you guys today, your Spit is an amazing piece of work and its great you let us great unwashed have a sit in her!.
