Do we know for sure that they came home on Thurs 14th?
Something about their account of that last day doesn't ring true so I've looked into his chat about the planes overhead. (Bit nerdy but bear with me!)
There indeed was a lot of Spitfire activity in that area last week, with two old Spitfires doing 'pleasure' flights for the general public, out of nearby Dunkeswell Aerodrome, around the surrounding area & along the coastline, over the caravans. (Maybe that's why he was miffed about leaving, because he wasn't able to dip into his wads of cash and book himself a seat....being a set-for-life aviation professional
himself and all.)
He described what actually has been going on, with the Spitfires doing rolls etc, on and off, over the course of several hours and at times being accompanied by a 3rd (non-Spitfire) light aircraft.......EXCEPT.....I'm pretty certain that none of that happened in the
morning (as he'd claimed)....and I'm also pretty sure that Friday 15th was the only day that both Spitfires went up together.
The Spitfires arrived separately on Wed 13th but one was almost immediately grounded, due a fault, and didn't fly again until Fri 15th. Friday was the day when
both planes went up and they were up for most of the afternoon.
Basically it's pretty unlikely that they left as early as they're claiming, if Creepy actually saw what he described. (If anyone is a Flightchecker pro, have a gander at G-ILDA & G-TCHI. I'm no spotter/expert but I'm 99% sure they're the ones.)
I wonder if all this chat about leaving early is just lipservice in an effort to look like they're being less reckless maybe, if they were getting heat for venturing so far away at such a late stage in her pregnancy. Also, if he's a plane geek, howcome he didn't vlog any of the plane stuff?
