    I was fortunate enough to see Canadianicon 2nd world war ace Jerry Billings of Essex Ontario who piloted and stored actor Cliff Robertson's Spitfire fly on many occasions near Windsor Ontario.There is nothing quite like the purr and whistle of the Merlin it gives you goose bumps and makes the heart flutter.
