Reminds me of an incident back in the 90's. I was locking my car in downtown Kissimmee Fl. My car had the vanity plate 'SCOUSE". An older Gent stopped and we got talking, he was from Liverpool but living in Ellesmere Port. He told me he had to do some flying hours every year to keep his pilots license current. This year he decided to give himself a treat and do it at Kissimmee Warbirds Museum. They fly WW2 planes which are mostly trainer but they do have a Mustang trainer, that is what he wanted to fly. He had been a Spitfire pilot in WW2 and told them that at the flying school atatched to the museum, they said he could go up but had to be accompanied by an instructor, he said when he told the instructor his story, he laughed his head off, he was only 25 years old.
