On this date, 90 years ago, my favorite airplane took flight for the first time.
The Supermarine Spitfire, one of the most beautiful airplanes to take to the skies. I even have a model of that prototype Spitfire.
And of course I have a tie to commemorate.

Today is the 90th anniversary of the first flight of the iconic Spitfire from nearby Eastleigh aerodrome. To celebrate, here is a video I took at RAF Duxford a few years back of one of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight spitfires on a test flight.

I don't have #dementia, and I have the same reaction, TBH.

Supermarine #Spitfire Rolls Royce Merlin engines are unforgettable.

extract from book 2 of 6

SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd

Chapter 33
AMICVS CERTVS (Latin: amicus certus - a friend indeed)

“She  doesn’t call you HayWire does she?” asks OpenMike.

“She calls me Peanut.” 

“And you call her LemonDrop?”

“You know?” responds HayWire with a bit more surprise than is really warranted.

“Everybody knows, we hear you two all the time.” says OpenMike, “if I may, can I ask you about the back story to the nickname HayWire?”

Candidly HayWire replies, “did you read comic books when you were young?” and he willingly explains, trying to deliver a twenty second version rather than than the one hour lecture, “Squadron Leader HayWire was the flying ace in Spitfire, the boys’ comic. I used to love reading it. He’s a charismatic pilot who’s both brilliant and neurodivergent. He can outwit all the hostiles using his unique flying manoeuvre, the parabolic curve, when you think he’s going to do it vertically, he’ll do it horizontally. If you think it will be horizontal he’ll do a parabola as a shallow, sliding dive, and a rapid climb. He could always wrong foot everybody, even his wingman Flight Lieutenant Menace.”

A watercolour painting of the school teacher Michael Rafone. Aged 29, he has a pleasant smile and looks like a decent bloke, well groomed, dark brown hair and deep chestnut eyes. He's wearing a black suit jacket and a white shirt, but no tie. The image is labelled OpenMike which is the name he uses every week at the Noble Coliseum when he hosts Saturday Night Fun Night.

Book back cover - the background is a view of planet Earth from space, largely obscured by many smaller pictures and text.

The top two thirds of the cover show outer space in black - the lower third shows cloud cover of about 20% revealing a mix of greens and blues, and indistinct divisions of land and sea - the horizon is prominent with various shades of hazy blues and whites.

Top banner blurb

Dominated by horses and ships, 400 years in the future looks a lot like 200 years in the past.

KristalClear, NutJob and CandiCrush grow up in a world with no oil, no cars and no internet. 

Middle

There are 18 headshots resembling passport photos showing the 3 main characters slightly larger than the 15 secondary characters. The headshots are colour pencil sketches, pale grey background, each in a grey picture frame. The character name is given beneath.

The collection of pictures ends with the text - Turn to page XXVII to see the character profiles.

Bottom banner

A bar code is positioned to the right, with text wrapped to the left of that and below.

The blurb says 

Climate Change

Famine

Decimation

Mass Migration

With London under water in 2450AD the new capital is Lancaster.

The people of Wolfland are plagued by the pirates who operate out of Worringfolk. They’re continually disrupting the trade routes across the Irish Sea. That’s where MaxChaos, HayWire and BarmyWaffle come in.

Demi-real, demi-dystopia with a touch of easy-going juvenile humour!
