Hi Phil,

what an interesting line of work.
As I'm 'resting' at the moment, I'll pass on the spitfire...I think it's 
fantastic that such an old design is still popular.  Another cherished 
memory concerning the Spitfire was a bike ride out to Fairford on the 
eve of the international air tattoo a few years ago.  We witnessed a 
mock dogfight over the airfield between a BBMF spitfire and hurricane. 
It was wonderful to watch and to listen to.

Cheers

Mark
