Was looking through a Mustang website the other day. A history of surviving Mustangs. One listed, still flying today, Petie II I think, it was bought in 1957 as surplus for $755.00. I was making that kind of money then!!!

Disregarding all technical and operational statistics for each aircraft, if someone asked me whether I would like to go up in a 2 seater spitfire or a 2 seater mustang it would always be the spitfire. That may be because I'm English, or it may be because of the iconic image produced by Mitchell all those years ago which has become an everlasting symbol of British resilience, but either way I would still go for the spitfire. No other aircraft in existence can conjure up the same sense of engineering achievement and excellence of a Spitfire, certainly amongst the British population. My second point is the sheer beauty of the machine. Although sounding almost identical, when a spitfire roars overhead one is blown away by the sheer elegance of those gloriously curved wings and it's aerodynamic prowess. No doubt was the mustang a very important and well performing aircraft throughout its operational use, but in my mind, the sight of a mustang, although spectacular, will always be usurped by the fantastic silhouette of the supermarine fighter.......

I think you can guess what I voted for.....

I mean yes the Mustang was a fantastic Aircraft and out performs the Spitfire in many ways, but its presence just feels hollow. Were as the Spitfire there is just and endless joy seeing one fly, a feeling that sort of evadeds description.
