Default Lossiemouth

Yip, on her way round the world. I saw it at Flying Legends at Duxford. Not flying but a beautiful looking machine.
Up to my son's base at RAF Lossiemouth tonight.

I've flown the 2 seater Grace Spitfire that flies from sywell. The pilot let me have the controls for a couple of minutes, wow the controls are so light, not stiff at all
