Another superb viewing .. good to see both hands on the stick as he weaves ... now .. With the last Wright bro dying in 1948 .. wonder if he ever got his chance to fly in this wooden wonder

That is some great footage by Scott. He used a Bonanza as a camera ship wcich was good as he could sit out of the breeze but was a bit slow so flap etc was needed.
I think 155 knots was the top speed with that big door missing.
We flew at 190 knots minimum in the Trojan as it gave the Mossie more options if an engine did fail which was unlikely but you never know.

The footage below was shot from a helicopter during the flight where the Spitfire was the camera ship.
Great keepsake.

It is great to have so much great video coverage of the aeroplane.

Flightpath TV had this camera mounted on the tail when I went for a fly in it with Keith and here is a still from that flight.
Look forward to seeing the rest.
