  There's nothing like the sound of a Merlin. Unless its four of them in perfect synchronisation!

  One of the advantages of living within sight of the National Memorial Arboretum is the occasional Spitfire visit. Latest was the Jubilee Weekend when one flew low over my South Derbyshire field walk on its way to buzz it. I heard it before it appeared. Easily identified and unmistakable..that Merlin sound. A couple of weeks later on our way to Edgbaston for that wonderful test match which had thrills sublime,my grandson noticed Fort Dunlop from our New Street bound 170,so I was able to tell him of the Spitfire connection……I was somewhat chuffed. It certainly added to the occasion……grandpa’s 16th birthday present to him.

  The Lancaster will be visiting South Oxfordshire several more times in the coming weeks - we've got it booked to do flypasts over Wallingford on August Bank Holiday and then for both days of the first weekend in September (BunkFest Music Festival).
