    Will he get the Spitfire flypast or not?

    Conflicting stories with one source saying it had been cancelled to avoid people gathering to watch it, then another saying it was going ahead but the time and route would not be publicised to avoid the crowds. Another one said it wouldn't be allowed as the flight had been deemed "non essential travel". FFS!

    I assume though that the international flights still landing at our airports are somehow essential then. :mad::mad:

    Isn’t Chris Evans doing something with a donated Olympic torch they are auctioning, heard on virgin radio yesterday they were hoping to get it to him, light it (apparently it’s the only one left with its pyrotechnics still installed??) then auction it for the NHS.


    Or should I stay off the mushrooms?:eek:

    Happy Birthday Colonel Tom Moore. He said he was only one of a few people left who saw Spitfires and hurricanes, flying in anger, and celebration. The sound of those Merlin engines made the hairs on my arms stand on end.

    Colonel Tom is so inspiring and yet so humble. A delightful and rare combination sadly lacking in todays society.
