Reminds me of something else.
In the late 60's I built a Mini, had a bored out MG1100 engine which I had carefully rebuilt. It was a Cooper S eater, but looked completely standard from the outside. My friend did not believe that it was fast. Took him for a ride in it. His comment was;
"Sounds like a Spitfire, and I don't mean a Triumph Spitfire"
I still have the Mini, would like to rebuild it if I have the energy!

The bats are out in force tonight.
I'm sat on the lawn near the pond and can feel the rush of air as they swoop in to collect the insects.
They're unbelievably acrobatic.
Strange things bats. Essentially a blind mouse that's been equipped with radar and a hang-glider.
