If it was the Cosford ones it was 2 Spitfires and 2 Hurricanes. They were flying together as the Battle of Britain planes. Awesome -
moch.jpg mitchell orchant chubby - rather a nice little smoke... fairly sure it would have done a nub stand... went for a walk round the woods we shoot in, and it held its ash all the way to my fingers getting hot!
Found it to have a clean open draw. Pre lighting it had a sweet, cedar and chewy tobacco flavour. Once lit there was a hit of sweetness - a sugary taste on my lips. This was followed by a happy mix of spice, cedar, and cream. Not a heavy duty smoke, but certainly not light and flimsy. Ordinarily I think I would have preferred this kind of smoke after a meal, but after the first centimetre or so it settled into an easy going and enjoyable smoke that suited being out and about, clambering through woodland!
Very glad to have more of these, which I think I will sink into the humi to age for a while yet. I reckon they have the backbone for some aging. Will probably bag a few more too!"Dear heart, you're talking to a man- a real man- who drinks straight Tequilla, with lime and salt on the rim, and smokes cigars" (J Zavala)Comment

Every chance it was... I live south of bham so Cosford is minimal flying time north.Originally posted by Joss View Post
Funny that, we are no experts but wondered if it was 4 of the same - which clearly it wasn't. We figured it would be too rare a thing to have x4 spitfires, so figured they were hurricanes. Brilliant to know it was two of each! I live on top of a ridge so they came over low and they looked & sounded amazing!
thanks for solving that mystery!!"Dear heart, you're talking to a man- a real man- who drinks straight Tequilla, with lime and salt on the rim, and smokes cigars" (J Zavala)Comment

Their engine sound is unique. A pair flew over Lincoln last month when I was there and I just had to stop and watch whilst the rest of the population carried on around me uninterested.Originally posted by Emaresee View Post'Cigars are a hobby, cigarettes an addiction'Comment

You can now buy a 30min flight in a two seat Spitfire IX for a paltry ?2999!
That's somewhere near the top of my list! Even above buying cigars!
(Or you can buy a real Hurricane with 5 kills in BOB for about ?2.5m if you've got the cash floating about!)Comment
