yeah its awesome.

only things better are mossie (shame none are flying now) and Lancaster imo :)

More merlins the betterer!

One duxford airshow they played music over the spitfire routine, next year the announcer came over the tannoy "Due to popular demand, we have decided NOT to use music for this years spitfire display"  the music it makes itself is good enough!
