MJ627 by Matt Holness AGAvA (2/50)

Picked up this numbered (#2 of 50) 'profile' print of MJ627 by Matt Holness at Legends and today I collected it from the framers…

A brief look back to 3 months ago...

A shortened version of the video from my flight in Spitfire MkIX T9 MJ627

The >20 Minute Club...

The Spitfire flights from Duxford have been dubbed, tongue-in-cheek, the "20 Minute Club" by some on an aviation forum near here - the recent flights all returning exactly 20 minutes after takeoff (total time in the aircraft is advertised as 30 mins and 20 mins flight time).
I guess as my flight experienced a "gremlin" in the stopwatch department, which meant we were back slightly late, can I lay claim to being a founder member of the "More Than 20' Club"?

So, how about a patch?...

My wife handed this to me afterwards…

Isn't it. Isn't it though...

And now I can actually wear my Spitfire pin, bought for me many, many years ago, and have a tale to tell…
