The Spitfire wing is such a beautiful shape, and flies so well. Even more impressive when you think that RJ Mitchell did the design work using pencil and paper, no help of CAD or computers then. I feel even more privilidged to have actually flown one, although only one of the few 2 seat versions. And the sound of the engine is music too.

One shot, from below at almost sunset. A picture is worth a thousand words

Smooth landings.

Hehe ... a wheelbarrow, more like!

One of my fondest Spitfire memories is a 21-Spit formation at a display at Duxford a few years back. They even had the delicacy to separate the Merlins from the Griffons so we got a "pure" sound from each.

And almost the same shot, but from the opposite side:-

perhaps even better than the first shot,

smooth landings.
