Common sense at last...I agree....Hey..would'nt you like to sit in the rear cockpit of that spit....the other dual control Spit I known of is owned and flown by a woman.....wish one of them was in Perth...I'd be the first to line up for a flight....TomB

Great Human Interest Story, with a HAPPY conclusion.
Gee, I could understand (a little) if he ahd wanted to fly a Spitfire by himself but come on, it was sitting in a museum?
I am glad that there are still a lot of good folks in the world and he was given a chance to relive history once again.

Thanks for the link, Rob.

Great article Rob and glad to see he got to fly again. A two seater would be a great idea for a model. Sorry to hijack the thread

Any outcome different from letting the man fly would have been outrageous! After all, he wouldn't be flying solo... I'm glad he made it!:smile2:
