I saw "Spitfire" at the cinema

It was amazing! If you get the chance to see it please do. I know here in the UK it was a one day only thing, but on DVD or BluRay it really is worth a watch when it's out.

Great visuals and audio of the beauty doing what it does, and amazing stories from the men and women who flew them.

I miss my old flying club's pre and post airshow's hanging about the apron. I got to touch and have a good look at and discrete feel of a lot of old warbirds. There were a few surprises like how really heavy the skin of a B-25 is and how soft and sticky the wood fibre and resin prop' blades of a Mk IX Spitfire are (the only source of new blades is in Germany!), my favourite was the beautiful Mosquito.

Well apparently the Spitfires wing is German in design lol.

I'll have to watch that Spitfire film. Just heard Geoffrey Wellum has died. He's interviewed in most of these. https://news.sky.com/story/youngest…m-dies-11442932

Sad news, and yes he is in it. Will not be long until any of the Spitfire veterans are left.
