General CRASH

[Motorcyclist Colin]

Torrential rain here this morning and very flooded roads. Drove the TA 4x4 over to Manston aerodrome, without any problems. In fact the little Panda is a great car in adverse conditions in my view.
This afternoon however, although the rain had stopped and the visibility was a lot better I managed to crash my Spitfire when coming in to land at Manston.
Pity really as I had come from Biggin Hill via London flying successfully under Tower Bridge, and the QE2 Bridge at Dartford Crossing
Thanks for asking ,but I suffered very little damage and we repaired the Spitfire in about 5 seconds and I took off again, flew out over the sea and returned to make a near perfect landing.,
One coffee later, wipe the Seagull crap off the Panda, and head for home with no problems


Best £30 I have spent in years for a simulator flight in a Spitfire. My birthday present for my 21st (plus 66) but looking old now. No No No the Spitfire not ME

Now head off down to the military aviation museum at Tangmere and have a go in the lightning simulator. Best of all, it's included in the price of the admission ticket.

The museum's pretty good, too.

When the weather's good, you gotta fly. By hook, krook, or jump!

All I was expecting was some comment on the handling or suitability of a 4x4 Panda in adverse weather conditions! Ah well!
