GOD I love the sound of Merlin's on the throttle!
I have also been able to see and hear the Lancaster owned by the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum fly. Think 4 Merlin's all at the same time. I even got to get in it and talk to the pilot while it was in the hanger at Hamilton, ON.
That plane flies over our house every other weekend or so in the summer time - my 2 yr old son and I run out to take a look whenever we hear it coming...I can't imagine what it would've been like to have had a whole squadron fly over...
Than you for posting the link. It's great to see that Mosquito fly again. I hate static displays in museums. These birds were meant to fly. If they can't, it's a little sad. they need to be viewed in motion with all the sounds and smells too.
Just so I can add my bit of plane porn......
