‘I am often asked which is my favourite aircraft. It is a very difficult question to answer. Who couldn’t be impressed with the gut-wrenching climb performance of the Lightning, almost touching the lower reaches of space, or of howling along in a Hawker Sea Fury? So I answer the question this way: if God said that I could have just one more flight, my last flight before I die, in any aircraft I have ever flown, I would choose to get airborne in a Spitfire.’
A perfect way to end a fantastic book.
