Was lucky enough back in 2000 to see something similar at Duxford, amazing site

Ray Hanna also did the test flights on this plane back in the early 80's and yes he is that low at the end of the Runway at Elstree..

The guy who owned this plane (Spencer Flack), used to practice display quite regularly in the summer where we lived and did not hang back from throwing it around

Nice one, I built this a few years ago as a tribute to such a gorgeous classic machine. Took me 3 months!!

Beautiful sight.
I was lucky enough to be down at our local Reservoir a couple of weeks ago. It's quite a pretty spot but the morning was really made when a Spitfire flew overhead, did a roll, flew off and then came back and did the same again.

just a small thing though, was the first clip filmed by one of the many who line up outside the perimeter fence so they dont have to pay admission and so indirectly dont contribute finacially to the upkeep of these planes?

apologies if I'm mistaken!
