[Misc] Flying in a Spitfire help/advice

[drew]

I’m going up in one in August as my belated 60th Birthday present
Can’t bloody wait
Done time in Submarines so this will be the complete opposite and a boyhood dream come true at last

Submarine to Supermarine!

...oh and if it looks like a Focke-Wulf Fw 190 in your rear view mirror it probably is. Shoot first, ask questions later. Good luck.

Would be quite something if a Spitfire could shoot backwards.

Can you pay extra and shoot down Herr tubthumper in a ME109 !!

Stop that Polish chatter Tomasz Kuszczak
and steer 2-3-0.
Repeat, please.
I say again, 2-3-0.
Repeat, please.
For crying out loud, 2-3-0!
- Repeat, please.
- Repeat, please.
Now, just shut up,
the lot of you, and follow me...
unless you're blind
as well as...
Oh, God's truth.
Shut up!
Silence, in Polish!

Speaking of which, just waiting for the flypast to go over our allotment

What do you grow in your allotment? Purely out of interest you understand.

Was playing golf in Northolt this morning/afternoon and the whole fly past went over at about a thousand feet EXCEPT the BOB contingent - brilliant but frustrating in equal measure.

Amazed at how quiet the A400M was for a turboprop.

Saw the fly past from my balcony in Hackney - right in the line of the run in to The Mall. Very impressive and seemed lower than 1000 feet!

That's an impressive list. Interesting chaps allotments. Forced to give mine up last year as my back just couldn't cope with it anymore. I still have a trug in the back garden, that l grow small veg and herbs in though.

All good for the soul.

My Dad has had an allotment for 33 years in Brighton and what he doesn't know about growing veg isn't worth knowing. But AR - that is a hugely impressive list mate.

Literally just got back from Duxford where my dad did this today (well flew alongside a spitfire as the actual flying of it was a bit too expensive).
Let me know what you would like to know.

One thing to remember:
There are old pilots...
..and bold pilots...
..but no old, bold, pilots.

I have,at last,been given permission to squander my hard earned money on a lifelong ambition to fly in a Spitfire,have any of you good people out there in NSC land done this and if so who,what,where,when did you do it and have you any words of wisdom on this matter before I blow a pot load of cash on it.Any advice would be very welcome.Thanks!!

Any advice? Don’t be sick!

 

[pastafarian]

Jealous as hell.
Dont film the experience on your device like a millennial ......its yours to own and enjoy by yourself for that personal memory bank.

Watch out for the ******** coming out of the sun and when shoot fire in front of them with short burst.
Good luck
