Just thought I'd share a nice photo.

We like to visit a train museum in York once every few years, they have a few famous old trains like Fying Scotsman and Mallard, I'm most interested in the cutaway views through the boilers of some old engines. https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/

They used to have a Spitfire suppoerted on a pole outside.

Also a few years ago I took my daughter for a ride up the river through York not knowing there was going to be a low level flyover by a Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster bomber.
I had to do a double take at the Mallard and Flying Scotsman ......but then I realised your in the UK ?😁
I not long ago won a bottle of scotch whilst watching Bradley ,the question was "what was the fastest steam train " and all the dummies went for the Scotsman . I dont like whiskey.
Christchurch airport used to have a warbird on a pole outside the airport , cant remember what it was .......I think the earthquake got it .
