Doing my new job I go all over but today was an an eye opener. I had to take some aluminium sheets to an aircraft maintenance company in Bedfordshire, it was down a tight country road into a farm. I was a bit wary driving my Artic towards it as the roads were getting narrow and I had a fear I was going to get stuck, but the road opened up and I drove into the farm which turns out to be a small industrial estate. At the end of the road was a large aircraft hanger I walked through the small door and was confronted with a Spitfire
The mechanic was talking to me but I wasn't listening ... It was amazing. I got chatting with him and he told me they service the Spitfire belonging to the RAF and were currently rebuilding 2 more amongst other old aircraft . he offered to show me around as I was so interested but I was behind schedule so I could not stay but did say I can go back on my days off and have a proper look. I was that excited that I forgot to take pictures
but I did get to stroke the wing of the Spit before I left.
