It's being reported in the Daily Mail that the Grace Spitfire came close to being grounded after someone complained that the engine noise "ruined the peace and quiet of the English countryside" but then local supporters hit back with a 3,500 signature petition.
I'll admit to loving the peace and quiet of the English countryside but the English countryside with the sound of a Rolls-Royce Merlin is so much better....
