The remarkable tale of Johnny Checkett's Spitfire

This aircraft engine lay buried in a field in northern France for more than 70 years, before travelling halfway around the world to the homeland of its pilot, renowned Invercargill-born fighter ace Johnny Checketts. His family officially welcomed the Rolls Royce Merlin 61 engine to the Wigram Airforce Museum today.
What an interesting story - must've been pretty emotional for the family.

I see you have a lot of lovely nature shots and beautiful scenery - are you in a position to do something "architectural" - interpret this in any way that suits :)
