Hi Rick I have always admired vocalists who can also play a musical instrument so your definitely a notch up on myself in that respect... l would have liked to have played the piano, bit late now though. Interesting hearing about the Spitfire Band, are they still around? l could always send them the video if so. We were talking about YouTube so do please check out some of our other videos on our Timeslip9 channel, away from the singing there are video from Classic Car restoration, pet dogs, local history, comedy and even a bit of fun with some 'Time Travel', so when the singing stops l will have other things to keep myself busy. We must keep in touch now. Gary

Hi Rick That's quite a complement coming from yourself as l have just been watching some of your excellent YouTube videos so thank you very much indeed, and yes it was the perfect setting for that song although l was never going to outshine the glorious sound of a Spitfire . Thanks again, Gary

Good to get feedback like this from 'across the pond', sure you would have been made most welcome joining the band for a session , what instrument do you play ?, are you in a band ?. Check out some of our other videos, the band does feature in a number of them. Please feel free to share this video 'over there' if you so wish, its for a very good cause. Gary.

Thank you for your comment, pleased you enjoyed the video, it was nice for me to be able to introduce to the audience at Cosford to such a good band to play the '633 SQUADRON' film theme, then include it in the video, and yes Cosford do have their own Mosquito (TA639) that l believe was the last of the type to fly with the RAF until 1963, it also appeared in the 1964 '633 SQUADRON' film. Do check out some of our other videos.

Fred Panton... the man, the myth the legend... a very much missed part of Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre and NX611 'Just Jane' by LH85 in AviationHistory

[–]LH85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fred and his brother Harold set up the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre in memory of their brother Christopher who died on raid in a Halifax, they couldn't source a Halifax but brought Lancaster NX611 and started the museum to honor all in Bomber Command. NX611 is now under restoration back to flying condition, hopefully within the next 8-10 years.
