Well from a rather damp start and not knowing what to expect from the day I think we were all pleasantly surprise
Starting of with a quick tour of the C54 Spymaster which was really interesting to then be greeted at Hanger 11 and given a superb guided tour and in-depth history of each aircraft .
After being asked for push to get the Spitfire outside for an engine test run ( its not everyday you get to push a Spitfire ) and then seeing the Mustang start up and depart , I think we all had a very enjoyable few hours
A big thank you to Peter and his team for their hospitality and Chris for organising it :-)
