At our villages Help for Heroes fete the other week, as well as the Spitfire flypast, Charles Ross was there with his cockpit section of XS899.

Well, my little girl - Heidi, who's 3 in September decided she wanted to go in it - and who am I to stop her. We queued, it started raining, she refused to come out of the queue and when it was her turn she was straight up those steps with me only just behind her.

She loved it but just would not smile whilst sat in it.

My step - Erica, on the other hand, was really nervous about climbing up, and sitting in it, but once in did smile.

The next day, at my school reunion when we were due another Spitfire flypast Heidi was very disappointed to only see an aeroplane flying, not one she could climb in to

. That's my girl.

Looks like Erica likes to pose with the equipment and Heidi takes her flying seriously!

Just kidding of course. A lovely pair of girls, and getting them started early on what's important is a good thing.

Cool to see that kids still enjoy those exhibitions!

I also loved to explore those weird technology thingies as a child. Hell, I still do now, but have less occasions.

Vendor, I keep asking the same question: Why do you feel the need to repost every single picture just so you can make one short comment? There was no gap between the originals and all our other comments. What would happen to Neal's bandwidth if all of us did that? Not to mention how silly it would look.

I can agree with that I could have done it without this gap, I apologize in this particular "excesses".

Today's life lesson to all you old and young, enthusiastic "history buffs", so you won't make the same mistakes I did: in the long run, working in the warehouse of a museum and getting to play with all the cool old gadgets they have in there is not as fun and interesting as you might think.
