Spitfire !

I was hoping we might have seen some photos of you in the cockpit.

I will never post a photo of me on a forum, or of my family. I have said this many times before over the years - eg with kitchen build. My wife regards it as an invasion of privacy to post family stuff on-line and I respect that. If you want to see photos you are free to come and visit.

When we volunteer it is through offspring (aeropace engineering, Delft) or a Brazilian pilot fried Anna (who we have known for 30 years). We started off with her in classic Tiger Moths, until a tragedy. She does Spitfire displays, as does her partner (ex airline) Pete.

There's a lot more out there if you Google Spitfire BS410

Thanks Roger - great backstory.

I’m not keen on that pale blue livery. I used to live next to RAF Benson which was a base for the Reconnaissance Spitfires and remember being told that the RAF developed a particular shade of pink for flying at dawn and dusk. The fighter pilots were extremely brave but flying alone, unarmed and long range into Germany to take aerial photographs must also have taken some bottle.

Unfortunately a case of closing the gate after the horse has bolted.

Maybe not on a forum but most people who have held a senior position, owned a business or had their photo taken for official reason can be easily found by a simple name and image search on google. Once they're out there it's far too late to hide our ugly mugs.

You're out there as am I and many others of us. I've even had my photo in Woodworker just for presenting some prizes to a student for heavens sake.

I know. Annoying to my wife and eldest son. I don't care much, but I want to stay married.

Probably too late for her as well but hey ho.

Double standards there, I think. You are perfectly happy to have your photo on promotional material for your restaurant. Bigging it up when you're being interviewed for a chef's award in a magazine. Or a finance magazine from a few years back. Yet you think so little of the forum.

Disappointing. Maybe we're not the right place for you.

Alright Roger, completely unnecessary, wind it in mate.

Video arrived today and I've extracted my very first roll in a Spitfire The first one is the pilot showing me how to do it, the rest are mine

 

[Cabinetman]

And all without any drama, well done you made it look effortless. Would have liked to have been able to hear the engine, was it loud inside the plane with muffs on?

Awesome Roger!

That's brilliant Roger, thanks for posting.

Excellent Rog and what a view you must have had.
