Wish I had a rifle that expensive to sell???

A Spitfire, complete with D-Day Invasion stripes, flew quite low over my house last Sunday afternoon.There is nothing better than the sound of a Merlin

You could always do it properly of course...

next week I am doing this

My birthday present from last November there is a very long waiting list however. I have asked for a Spitfire flight for my next birthday but I am not expecting a result

Try and tell that to a foreigner....WW2 means nothing to some - not in their history. My missus is awed at the stories I tell from my parents experience of air raids etc...Got to say though she LOVES the Harrier GR7! She'd never seen one till she went to an airshow..

Anywhere you can get a ride on one the way you can in a Mig or a Lightning etc??

A Lanc taxy ride.....sure beats a Skoda!

You can do mitchell and Flying Fortress flights in Arizona..wish i'd done them when i was there..quite a sight to see them flying overhead...

£71500 to fly a Spit Bargain!!! Now,, how much for the other requirements + cost of one Spit - slightly used, one careful owner??

I used to work with a bloke that spent around 4k on a trip to Russia in 1997 and he went up in a Sukhoi SU-27.I remember him saying the pilot wasn't shy when it came to "showboating" and he pulled the move where the plane climbs near vertically until it loses airspeed and starts to drop backwards, with the engines running the whole time!.

Price has gone up a bit since he went.....

You can do an English Elecrtric Lightning in South Africa - vertical climb till you see the curvature of the earth ...and space pretty much.

Well worth it if you can afford it I reckon..

Not when you're on the regular flight circuit from Duxford. Bloody things. Especially when your'e trying to listen to Barry Manilow in the garden. B*stards

If you're trying to listen to Marry Banilow in a place where others can hear a Merlin is way more than you deserve.
