I have no idea. It just happened.
I remember walking into the hangar at Coningsby, with my mother and father, when i was about three years old. I saw the Lancaster at the back, and I just fell under her spell.
There is just nothing like the sound of those Merlins, when you are at an airshow and it goes quiet, and you just hear the faintest sound of them from far out, they put shivers up my spine.
I was at Waddington on Saturday and PA474 parked right in front of our car. When they ran the engines up for the tests...wow. It confirmed my allegiance there and then!!
