Rob_Quads Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Had this thing flying just outside our office doing a little display. Was down as a 2500ft fly-past but he ended up going much much lower i.e. probably 100m and close to some trees at points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Fantastic. I live quite close to an RAF base and you see one here now and again. They sound absolutely awesome too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Quads Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 yeah, the noise was really impressive. It was a tribute to the last designer of the Spitfire dieing. The spitfire was designed in one of the offices at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I once saw a mock dog-fight between one of these and a Meschersmitt - awesome. The same airshow featured the Mosquito - with its two Merlin engines it was the only thing that sounded better than the Spitfire. Great pictures, by the way.

sl114 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Now thats unreal! The Spitfire is and always will be my favorite aircraft, a true piece of British History. I remember seeing these at Biggin Hill airshow when i went to them with my Dad. The noise of the merlin was the most amazing sound too.
