so proud to see this
I saw the silver spitfire at Duxford flying legends airshow last month. I got a lovely photo of it. It's a work of art, all the effort that has gone into restoring it has been very worthwhile 👍
Beautiful aircraft. Gives me goosebumps.
I know I've said it in the comments in other videos, but to aviation fans there are few sights more evocative than the shape of the Spitfire wing.
Brilliant blues🏴✊🏿
Come on it was the almost forgotten Hawker Hurricane that saved the battle of Britain.
True. There were more Hurricanes than Spitfires during Battle of Britain because Hurricanes were simple enough to be produced in great quantities .
A lovely sight!
Amazing! I really want to learn to fly a plane lol
Far too much talking and far too little merlin sounds !
Cannot wait to see this British beauty framed against the Statue of Liberty and Sydney Opera House . What a stirring adventure .
Can't believe they're not going to Australia or New Zealand !
I believe it did, it went to America, then Canada then Japan then Australia then across Europe
Once has a chrome plated steel model spitfire. May have been used for war games
Why does the twin seater have 2 Swastika decals on it ?
Why the hell would anyone waste the time and expense to fly one around the world besides the risk of it crashing, it's nonsense?
Surely they'll be needing them in Iran!?
