Spitfire LF.IX. G-CICK / NH341. from DX in the clag over the A12 heading to Southend Headcorn, not a nice day to be flying here in essex

Reply to Brian Pen Pusher #212

As you well know there would be dates in place for the test flying to begin but of course flexible because of delays in the works completed MET etc but obviously she will need ground running tests for a a few days surely to iron out ant defects that may arise from all the systems that have had to be disturbed during this fantastic overhaul so my point I am making against your point is that we could have a weeks notice at least to a possible test flight? could I get up to see this, i doubt I will be lucky enough to spare the day unfortunately and I would love a trip up to DX not been for a fair while

I think its staffing levels and they cannot control the amount of people who may or may not turn up
