Maybe not, but I am. 
What a beaty. Any more pics?

No more pics. There was another classic pick-up under a tarp nearby, and a field full of alpaca. Great place.

Yes, my mum worked for Wing Commander Jowett in the war, though by this time it had gone from a family firm to one listed on the Stock Exchange
Weâve had the Headcorn Battle of Britain Airshow in full swing over the last few days. Weâre a bit too far away to see the action but you can certainly hear it off in the distance. Did anyone here go?
As an aside, I was reminded by a friend over the weekend of this (with apologies to anyone offended by the appropriately blue language used during the film)âŚ

Apparently WAAFS who did the plotting for the Battle Of Britain had to be warned in advance of the language and the screams âŚ
The late Ray Hanna - the doyen of many a public air showâŚalso look up his fly-by at Goodwood. Boyâs own stuff.
He had a magnificent flying career, saw him flying many things last century! His son Mark was a great pilot too.
A late workmate of mine is on the left of this photo, Ray Hanna on top.

I went to the Royal Academy yesterday to see the Summer Exhibition (a bit delayed this year). I thought this was rather fun. Perhaps not so great if youâre a lover of old Mercedesâ thoughâŚ

I suppose Hawks count as âVintageâ nowadays as theyâre over 40 years old.
At least they donât need an M.O.T.!
Whatever the weather.

They are like Triggerâs broom , everything has been replaced at least once , so it may look the same but is a completely different beast .
Sad that the only âfighterâ plane that is entirely British in design is sub sonic.
I say fighter because there is a fighter /bomber version available
Not this year, but I had a trip in a Tiger Moth from there a couple of years ago.
Fantastic John. Thatâs definitely on my bucket list - and rather more affordable than the Spitfire!
You may well have flown over us (we have the 60 acre bagatelle shaped field with two small plantation woods inside it - right next to Benenden school). The Tiger Moth often flies over and banks around the field and I usually wave if Iâm out there with the dogs.
I may well have done Richard though I must admit I was enjoying the flight too much to notice what we were flying over.
Iâm already thinking about the Harvard in 2022 to celebrate reaching OAP statusâŚor maybe Iâll go straight to the Spitfire, I guess it depends how much I get for a 66 year old kidney⌠

Have to say, at this point, my retirement present is going to be a threesome!
Trips in Spitfire, P-51 and the 109/Buchon planned. 
Mind, now the two seater Hurricane is up and running, I might have to add another old girl to the list at Biggin Hill.
