Thanks all. Quite right Jo, it is 493209. Does that mean it is a Harvard as Nick suggests?
It's going to cost an arm and a leg, but a pension advisor has recently said that as I get older I need to grasp the concept of deaccumulation, ie, start spending money rather than saving it.

The problem I have is predicting that end point.

After 60-65 that is the way to do it, we've earned it :-)https://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/flight-experiences/aluminum-overcast-eaa-b-17-bomber-tour/b-17-aluminum-overcast-tour-stops The Lancaster is very pricey, and not too many seats on board (CAD3500). I have to pass on that one unfortunately. Lots of other choices though, you should visit sometime: http://www.warplane.com/aircraft/flights/buy.aspx. While here you can try some of the 60 or so wineries in the area and distilleries along with excellent food.Gerrit
Just been looking again at prices of Spitfire flights and seems I was a bit optimistic with my original figure. Prices start at £2550 for a 20 minute trip and go up to £4800 for a 55 minute flight over the white cliffs of Dover.
Strewth! ... £4800! ... Does that include ammunition or do you have to supply your own ?Dave
The money would be the least of your problems as Jo would be in a ME109 that she had hired and eager to dogfight.

I was about four at the time and was taken up for a pleasure flight in a lovely DeHavilland Rapide. I even got to hold the pilots sandwiches!!
However, being one that only cares for "straight and level flight" ( with a few steep turns) I don't know how I would get along with a true "fighter" ride.
