If you want we can hit the legion also as its our cruise night. They will be there and it's cheap beer. Lol.

I asked Andre to bring his He-111 but I don'think he can come. Greg, what's this about cruise night and legion?
BTW, we are not alone!

Link is to BBC footage shot this morning in Britain as 40 Spitfires and Hurricanes flew as part of the 75th Anniversary Tribute. Short but great stuff if you're a Warbird fan.

Wonderful sunny autumn evening at the field tonight, spent with good friends, respecting the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

My Mum sent me these photos of the fly past in the UK, from her TV (literally!) recognise any of the aircraft?! Apparently Prince Harry was in one of the Spitfires.

Beautiful weather and friends sharing a passion for historic model aircraft...great stuff....and, eat your hearts out all you wannabe RC Spitfire and Hurricane pilots...on my last flight, I nailed three full stop Hurricane landings on the runway centreline with no nose-overs!

...as satisfying as getting my full size Rec Pilot Permit the next day! Now I can fly over ROGO in a full size 172, watch everyone yelling "Full size!" and be almost as annoying as Andy!
