That'll do nicely. I can even recognise who he is.

Don't worry on my account. I told you this time it's all down to you. Maybe I can start taking it easy & watch the show.

Super shots Craig, sure looks like a good piece of kit you have there. The clarity on the pilot's face is stunning.

looks like you all had a good day weather wise.

Hum....yeah, wonder why  ::)

Although to be fair it's my favourite too......

Am I very wrong for liking it when it was a clipped wing?  ;)

Those clipped-wing jobs are not proper Spitfires.

Except when do low-altitude killing, then they are allowed

In fairness its all the maker of "Pearl Harbo(u)r's" fault. Unfortunately the Chief Pilot prefers it with them on (he told me so himself...) and they've never been removed since.

A better roll rate without wingtips too...

Good for him & long may he continue to be chief pilot. I always compared clipping those wings with attacking them with a hacksaw. Vandalism which spoils the perfect silhouette of arguably the most beautiful & recognisable aeroplane ever designed. It must also affect the aerodynamic qualities of that perfect elliptical wing.

The Mk V was the favourite of no less a person than Alex Henshaw.
