Spitfire in Hull

I’m not sure if it is a real one, but it looks pretty real to me

They had a Spitfire outside Hull Minster when we went up town today. It’s a lovely looking plane. Essentially the pilot sits in behind an enormous engine which is connected to a great big fan right at the front and there whole thing flies along several thousand feet up at several hundred miles an hour under fire from the enemy. No wonder it’s called “the right stuff”. They also had a rather nice MG car from the same era.

I don’t think this car has satnav that keeps whining about needing a map update.

I love the way they have a handle on the dashboard for the passenger to cling onto

..and a very british hamper on the back
