Hi,

I always did rather like the WW2 trainer colours. Exactly where is "here" ?

Had a short conversation with the pilot and Mr Menzies.
Aeroplane is 76 yrs old, at the time of its historic first landing at Ringway,
it was being used as a company hack by Fairey Aviation, for whom Mr Menzies
father was a test and delivery pilot.

Wish I look that good when I get to 76!

Edit: Found this Obituary @1997 ref the late Duncan Menzies, test pilot
