Some of the usual residents and a nice little Jaguar sports car...

Apparently...

...among World War II pilots who underwent training at Sywell were Pierre Clostermann and Paddy Finucane, who soloed there.

John Niven served with both these pilots in his time on 602 City Of Glasgow Sqn.

Another cool factor to my flight in ML407 from Sywell.

A month ago...

...I was getting strapped into ML407 for my second Spitfire experience. Just a few more photos from the day from onlookers.

Taxi out under a dark sky.

Off we set...

Air to air from UWF's Vans RV7 - what a bonus!

Run & break over Sywell.

All too soon, it is over...
