Was listening to Dermot O'Leary (who turns out to be a huge Spitfire fan) on Radio 2 this morning and he had a long chat with one of the pilots of this beauty. :wub: :wub:

The 'Silver Spirfire' got back yesterday, after a four month circuit of the Earth. :thumbsup:
However, the media have acted as ignorant as they usually are in such cases, TWICE reporting the aircraft as '.....a 1944 vintage jet......'
Sometimes I REALLY want to physically knock some sense into their heads! :banghead: :banghead:

A lot of people would pay a lot of money to watch that happening :thumbsup:
In defence of some sections of the media today's I newspaper had quite a lengthy report on the flight and a short history of the aircraft it'self, including her war service. And yes the word jet was not used.
