Here's something I posted on the XH558 forum - but I think it can stand a repeat as an inspirational story.
A guy in Devon gets given a single rivet from a Spitfire - and he resolves to build a Spitifre around it :ymapplause:
The single rivet is actually built in the the plane :D

Spitfire RR232

The build

In memory of a very dear friend - Mike Pearson

Very fond memories of Robbie Gilvary - DTs 1st Vulcan Captain who taught DT all he knew.
