WOW!! :shock:

Here's his airstrip(s)

This place is about 15 minutes from me. They have a Spit, a Hurricane, a Lancaster, and a B25 amongst others. I see them above my house all the time, especially on the weekends when they're flying out to shows. You'll be outside and hear one coming off in the distance, and the first thing you say to yourself is "that ain't no Cessna."

I'd give both testicles to be able to fly that

Anyone with an interest in this period of aviation needs to read this... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wings-On-My-Sle ... 701&sr=8-2
I read a LOT on WW2 history, and this is an absolute stand-out

That story has made me emotional. More opportunity to preserve one of the most iconic things in British history... fantastic.... tally ho!

is it full scale? a lot of these replicas are about 2/3 normal size

It's a real one, not a replica. I thought he had 2 (may have another non functional one for spares). Makster posted a link to an article/pics above.

Here are a bunch of guys we supply beer to, which they consume in their shed, in between firing up their Merlin engine....
