Paul J Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi Rich. Surprised all the Spitfire fans here missed this event. 78 years ago now! Maybe in two years time there will be a big fanfare for the Spit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 The thread title is a bit misleading... could be about anything from your performance in bed to how best to boil an egg "8 minutes that made aviation history" would be a better title 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Mike, it would be an appropriate day to post pics of your Type 224 and Type 300 Spitfire prototypes together, hint hint! bob (just how I like my eggs, too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueliner Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday, to you - to you - to you -- Spitfire!!!!!!! The Spitfire-oholic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Strange (weird) coincidence this morning. I was washing up the breakfast things (yes, I'm semi house trained) and for some reason Mutt Summers' "I don't want anything changed" remark came to me. It was only later the penny ropped and I thought 'What made me think that today of all days?'. Yes indeed, many happy returns, Spitfire! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinnerboy Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 ".must be my name that puts people off .I might change it to thread killer" Funny, I find mine does that too! Maybe I'll change mine as well.
