"My enthusiasm for this new Seafire variant was such that, one afternoon, in sheer exhilaration, I looped it around both spans of the Forth Bridge in succession – court-martial stuff nowadays, but during a war nobody has the time to bother with such formalities.”

- Eric 'Winkle' Brown on flying then brand new LF.Mk.IIc Seafire.


Forth Bridge:



What a guy. :)
