Looks pretty cool to me and knowing what those BMFs in their Chelsea Tractors are like in London a little safer than a bike!

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

They're nothing new and already being produced. The only difference the one in the BBC article is it runs on natural gas.
