Bill agus an Spitfire

Bill Innes, as he himself commented, has now reached the age where he's not sure if it's worth his while buying a calendar or diary for the year ahead, however he fully intends to reach his 90th birthday later this year and to celebrate, wants to fulfil a lifelong ambition to fly a spitfire. As a 7 year old boy, Bill saw a spitfire flying overhead in Glencoe where he lived at the time. This was in 1940 and filled with hero worship for the daring pilots, "dreamt of roaming the clouds in such a thrilling machine".
