A big thank you to Mrs Mooky who arranged a VIP taxy ride in the Lancaster for my 50th Birthday

(in addition to lunch) I got to have a good poke about inside and ride in the cockpit

The sound of 4 Merlins is just awesome

more pics (and a vid if I can get it uploaded) to follow

cheers

Mooky

What a brilliant present ! Many happy returns for your 50th. I think this calls for another night in that fantastic Indian resauraunt in Richmond, to help you celebrate !

No - she still just taxis around the place. Unforunately it's not really in the owner's interest to make her airworthy when they can make a small mint just as she is...

She sounds awesome, though - I organised a family outing the and ride for my grandma's 80th a few years ago. If you've any interest in planes, it's a really good day out.

Now that is something that I would covet,... flying a Spit to Goodwood,... I was there at the revival last year when they had 14 or so on the ground and 10 in the air,... awesome

You might hate me but I would have gladly swapped my taxy ride in the Lanc for a proper flight in a Spit

I hate you a bit now too
