A mate is about to go up in the Spitfire at Goodwood. I know many who have done this now, and i'm sure there are several on here. It made me revisit a sad incident that i was closely involved with, which i have done several times over the years, but this time i found a short video to my surprise. The plane was rebuilt and first (re)took to the air in 2005 and has been flying for many years since then.
it's a rare thing, but demand for the below car has outstripped production capability, even causing some Teams featuring well-known drivers to drop out before they've even started. The only consolation for me is that Fiat will get the blame "this time".
It’s always been a dream of mine to go up in a Spitfire, when I looked into it many years ago for my 40th I nearly fainted at the cost. I think it would be way out of reach for me now.
A work colleague bought an experience for his Wife North of £2500 and that was a few years ago. Watched one take off from Duxford a few years ago, don't they sound great.
..further to yesterday's comments "Geoffrey" - i would like to flip the table and say by all means, if you can improve on this, then i would welcome a better source than i am attempting - if you have one?, but (for me) applying a "fuzzy logic" to all you hear, is the best approach and so here is another relevant video:-
