    Flying the Emil Bf 109 'White 14'

    I've been fortunate to see this aircraft in flight here in Canada, and then after several years discovered her undergoing restoration during a birthday treat tour of Biggin Hill. I recently found this article from another Canadian collection describing flying White 14.

    Articles like this or similarly by ARCO's John Romain fascinate me regarding flying vintage a/c. These modern day pilots are much older with far more experience than their wartime counterparts.

    Having heard it myself this quote excerpt made me laugh:

    "I have always found something reassuring in the deep sonorous thrum of the Merlin; a sound akin to standing behind a dozen self-satisfied tenors. The Daimler engine, by comparison, struck me as clattering and harsh, more like a barrel full of hammers rolling down a staircase."
