[Lonewolf]

I have been asked, nay, summoned by the dark destroyer to post on here under the threat of unmentionable consequences if I declined, to share with the millions of members we have some of his pics.....so here you are...































I'm sure he'll be along soon to explain the pics very soon.

I thought it was a MK9 (with wide cockpit option) but stand to be corrected............

Went shopping at the weekend................................nice to find a good fitting MK9 


















If you're thinking I'm looking a bit serious, dower or bored in the pictures its because I'm trying not to think of the cost £ of the Hiab hire to remove me from the cockpit

Pross. Young Cheryl sent me up ................it was a priverledge  to sit in and respect what for many was their last place of work.  Very moving. I never in a million years ever expected to sit in one. Next is to save my pennies and take a ride in one and long for the command "You have control" The cockpit is compact with most controls falling readily to hand. Just wish I had a type rating and could go let her spread her wings in her natural environment.  Gob smacked that I fitted. Now fully understand the expression strapping one to ones back.

Wicked.
To fly in one of those machines is a dream for millions me being one of them.

You do make me laugh Charlie, especially you and the 'horny' figure   

Brilliant pictures mate which make it clear that the superb Spitfire was indeed manufactured to be an 'all round' aircraft

A quick google shows you are correct Charlie. Chin position air intake with a four bladed propeller as the instant identifiers.

Although the pictures don't show it..............the longer nose is also an indicator.
