Re: Spitfire
Noooooooooooooooo! I wish I'd known. I would have been out there looking at it.
Any idea why it was passing? Where did it come from? Where was it going? Saw a Lancaster on Sunday but that was coming back from an air display in Morecambe.

Re: Spitfire
They are very similar in appearance but also quite different.
OOh I feel a prize coming on.  Here's a photo of a Spitfire and a Hurricane. For 100 ackers who can tell me which is which?

Re: Spitfire
Brilliant! I wish it had come over here. Isn't it funny how nostalgic we all get over the Spitfire? I'm the same with the Lancaster too - they were real aeroplanes (Oh lord, West, you're showing your age!).

Re: Spitfire
For beauty alone I would choose the Mosquito, but I have to admit to being fond of earlier aircraft like the Sopwith Camel and the German Albatross (was that Fokker?). Loved the cute little manoeuverable FokkerDr1 as flown by Manfred von Richthofen too. I would love to have been able to fly in one of those. (without all the shooting and killing)

Re: Spitfire
Not being an ackers millionaire like Willow I can't go offering extravagant prizes. Can anyone tell me what everday item, used by chavs and aristocracy alike, is related to, in fact descended from the Spitfire fighter plane? If you've been down Accy today you will have probably seen one.
Being the generous soul I am, I'll donate the 100 ackers I won from Willow to the person who answers the above correctly. There is a one-word answer that is acceptable.
