Just been out in the back garden with a BSA Cadet, some cheap pellets and some tin cans (simple pleasures) when an aeroplane engine caught my attention.

Looked up and flying East to West out across the Forest was a Spitfire (assume one of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight ?)

Bearing in mind this particular Cadet is a "B" prefix (1946-1949) got me wondering if anyone who purchased this after the War was in their garden and also experienced a Spitfire flying overhead.

I do love trying to imagine the (unknown) history around the older rifles - does make you wonder what they have seen / experienced in their lifetime.

I must be getting old ....
