With Some better Scenery textures and maybe some clouds no 4 would be a stunner! Great angle!

Man nice bird... The spit is one of my favorite all time aircrafts... I remember how happy i was when my dad bought me a 1/32 (i belive) scale plastic model to build, it turned out great. Wished i had a photo :P

I like the last one, its like a lonewolf coming back from a patrol... though the color scheme is not one i recognize.

Looks a little like the 'Grace' Spitfire.  ( which I think is one of the few trainers still flying and featured in "Spitfire Ace"  http://www.channel4.com/community/showcards/S/Spitfire_Ace.html ).

A couple of pictures of said plane...

Ohh dear ::) That is NOT the Grace Spitfire children, that is PT-462! The giveaway is the Welsh flag above the RAF markings on the tail ;)

It is technically a Grace* Spitfire though, to be fair, and another who sadly lost it's owner (of the time) at the same time, when Charles Church was killed in his Mk V. I'm not entirely sure if it ever was a T.9 though, but rather a later life conversion. :-?

*or maybe, more accurately a "Melton" Spitfire, as I know D i c k (sorry, had to write it with spaces as the forum didn't like the shortened version of Richard!) Melton did a lot of work with both... :-?

Has no one noticed yet?! the last shot isn't a spit but a seafire mk.47. Harold I'm suprised you didn't notice the twin prop disks.


Very nice shots EGCC

I noticed the seafire (which I actually like better) but I didn't notice the twin props. But there can be only one Spitmaster ;)
