"Daddy what plane is that?" Emery asked Harry excitedly as she pointed to a quite large plane in the bunker the family were currently in.
"Well I do believe that is an Avro Vulcan" Harry replied to his daughter as he picked the five year old up and pressed a kiss onto her cheek. Harry had decided to take his family to Duxford for the day and Nikki couldn't help but remember the last time they had come. She smiled at her husband and daughter before turning to her three sons who where looking around the hanger with large grins on their faces, they liked planes but not as much as their sister. "At least one of them takes after me" Harry said to his wife as he put his daughter back on the floor and wrapped one arm around Nikki's back and rested it on her hip as they walked on.
"I'm surprised it's not one of the boys actually" Nikki commented as they walked up the stairs to exit the hanger and move onto the next one.
"No they are too involved with their sharks and whatever other dangerous animals they like" Harry shook his head and leant down to press a kiss to Nikki's cheek as they walked.
"So our little girl is an airhead like you then" Nikki laughed and Harry mocked glared at her causing her to laugh louder and shake her head.
"You do realise that we had our first date together here" Harry told Nikki, changing the subject quickly.
"I didn't know that was a date Dr Cunningham" Nikki replied "You just told me we were going on a picnic and we turned up here to watch the air show"
"Well it would have turned into a date if that helicopter hadn't had crashed" Harry shrugged and they caught up with their children as the four youngsters stared at a fighter jet that was outside on the grass.
"When does the air show start mummy?" Darius asked and Nikki checked her watch.
"In about half an hour" she replied and her youngest son nodded and turned back to the plane "You know daddy wanted to be a pilot when he was younger"
"Really?" Edward asked and looked at Harry for confirmation and frowned when his father nodded "Why didn't you then?"
"Because I had something wrong with my heart that stopped me flying" Harry explained and Graham frowned.
"Are you ill?"
"No" Harry chuckled "I just have a…there's something wrong with my heart but it's nothing too horrible or anything for you to worry about"
"I dont think there's anything wrong with your heart" Nikki mumbled to him and Harry pressed a kiss onto her cheek and smiled lovingly down at his wife, knowing she didn't mean anything medical.
"But…" Darius started "If you were a pilot then you and mummy wouldn't have met would you?"
Harry and Nikki hadn't thought of it like that and Harry reached down to entwine their hands and squeezed Nikki's slightly as they walked on again.
"I suppose that's true" he shrugged "Something good came out of me not flying then" he smiled at Nikki who laughed slightly and reached up to press a kiss onto his lips.
I love RAF Duxford, it's amazing! :D Well I do have a weakness for fighter jets so that may be .
