Very nice footage, a shame though that they didn't use a real Spitfire! ;) Both the Lanc and the Mossie were the only ones flying (at that time) but there are plenty of Spitfires around. The one in that video is Bob DeFord's wooden Spitfire replica and is Allison powered. For more about this fake-fighter, have a read of this: https://www.eaa.org/en/airventure/eaa-a ... -impresses

There's something very pleasing about 2 Merlins in close proximity :tunes: Hat's off to Specsavers too. I never realised Vera was VR-X on the LH side :poke: :guinn:

Nice video. :thumbsup: Kind of strange watching a "Spitfire" fly past with a completely different sound to it. :lol:
