I have also flown in the only airworthy Bristol Blenheim (though I think she is rather un-airworthy at this time). If I had to choose between the two again, it would be the Blenheim every time 8-)

How did you wangle that one?

Whist still wearing a blue suit for Aunty Betty stationed at Marham, I was a volunteer at Duxford around 92-ish for a year before I got posted back to Germany. I spent my time with the Aircraft Restoration Company who operated the Blenheim. I happened to walk into the office at the right time when John Romain owner of ARC was asking who would take the spare seat. It was my job to monitor cylinder head temperatures during a display flight. Luckily my father was on hand to take a few pictures of the event as I was not able to take a camera with me 8-)
Unfortunately I left a short time after as I did not see eye to eye with a "real employee" of ARC. I then went back over to the volunteer group and worked on the Britannia for a while. Then the real world sent me over seas again. I had a great deal of fun, but Duxford back then, was full of more self importance than any where else I know off. It may have changed now, we are talking 20 years ago now. Still you cannot sniff at experience and I got to turn screws on quite a variety of aircraft.

i am hoping a guy i know finishes his T-6 annual soon so we can get working on his T-28 as i would very much like to go for a flight in a T-28 as it will cost less than commercial p-51 rides and the T-28 outperforms the P-51 in almost every way (that is what he tells me anyways)

He's lying. But a T-28 ride is better than no ride at all.
