And also, in the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection. How do you get hold of an original Spitfire control stick? And how do you put together a Hurricane cockpit from hundreds, thousands of different bits?Across the ocean, in Texas, Richard Gent has just solo-ed again. At the age of 90. After a 48-year gap in his flying career. Why? And what is it like, to learn to fly at that age?Support the show (http://patreon.com/2kft)
