My brother in law went up in one from Biggin Hill . It was paid for by immediate family members. Half an hour he had for his 60th I think it was around £ 3000 but he said it was brilliant . | | | |

Lifetime ambition of mine but it will just have to remain a dream I'm afraid . | |

Might not be the best idea.

All part of the experience, it shall return I'm sure , I read that currently there 75 Spitfires still airworthy which has to be a testament to it's design and historical connections. | |

They were shite
At least my airfix ones were .
They fell to pieces when I painted the wings which lead to me spilling paint over the kitchen table ( (we were posh) and got a belt from my mum | |

Aye, probably. I was amused by it being the same company though. | |

Well nobody was hurt. It's a lot of money to keep this craft flying and obvioulksy, they are 80 years old so parts have to be made specially and the original oarts are bound to have a lot of wear.
I'd risk it if I had 5k to spare. We could afford it but we have more important things to spend our money on. | | | |

Duxford do a Spitfire big wing where there can be anything up to 20+ Spitfires flying in formation, the noise of 20 Spitfires flying overhead is indescribable. |  | | |

Seen it and what a sound , if you're ever bored and passing by the Cambridge area there are two places you must visit ,one is the Duxford aerodrome museum and the other more sombre and thoughtful is the American War Cemetery where over 5,000 Americans are buried ,men and women who were killed during WW2 ,an awful lot on D Day .
Apologies for going off topic. | |
