To see six Spits flying simultaneously must have been incredible, and a sight never to be repeated... there are only half a dozen capable of independent flight left in the world, and one of them crashed a few years ago. The owner is working on getting it back airbourne, but it's a long job - you can't get the parts these days.

I get those petrol head feelings when I hear the roar of a Triumph Bonneville.... but these days it's more likely to be the thub thub thub of a Harley coming up behind me on the road.
