Taken at Ludborough on a 1940's day - an interesting day. These are the Spitfire Pilots:





And the Spitfire which never got of the ground - weather to bad.

Nice ones!

Were they wearing lifejackets because of our drought?

Agreed , interesting shots, I didn't think they would have braided hoses in those days

Shame that the weather prevented flying.

Probably a replacement for the original rubber hose that had perished?

Thanks for your comments. It's a shame they didn't fly. I'll get another opportunity in July as they will be returning

Nice set. Especially like the angle on the last one (my schoolboy's dream to fly one)
