An ex-airman, who also happens to be an engineer, spent two years creating a perfect Spitfire replica for a simulator in his shed. Mr. Mockford comes from a long line of Royal Air Force veterans, including his great-uncle, Frederick Stanley Mockford, who is credited as inventing the internationally recognized distress call "Mayday". This is only one of many projects Mr. Mockford has worked on with others including an F35, done by eye, and rewired front ends of a Lynx Helicopter and Boeing 737 to convert them into flight simulators. He has expanded these projects into a flight sim business where people can buy a one-hour flight for £60.
