I had forgotten about this video, it is the all time best Spitfire low laval pass! There is some R ratted language at the end, when the host drops the F bomb multiple times! Under the circumstance, I think he may have been justified, or just plain in shock!

He's laughin'...Great counterpoint to the slightly stiff, sperg-out character of the narration copy. You never put a date and a number in the same sentence unless you want 90% of your audience to flip over to Monster Garage.

Yup poor old Alain de Cadenet nearly had a heart attack!

That was the late, great Ray Hanna in MH434.

Stearmen, here's a thread I posted a long time ago with footage of Ray flying under a bridge for the "Piece of Cake" mini-series. The sound is also sublime. Think you might enjoy it...

Yes, that was probably the best Spitfire movies ever! Even with all the little inaccuracies, like the Yank who served in Spain, non of our boys who flew during BOB had been any where near Spain. Still I would watch it in a hart beet! Expecially loved the seen of the Spitfires landing at the stand in French mansion, doesn't get any better then that! I did find the scramble seen from the grass in front of the mansion. Some one told me the name of the mansion, I know it is in the UK, but I forgot.

Here's one to all you Spitfire-lovers:

The late Mark Hanna showing how it should be done!:eusa_clap
(I've posted this somewhere a long time ago)

Tip-bloody-top!

Mark was just as much a legend as his Dad. He was often in NZ flying for the Warbirds over Wanaka show with his Dad (who was a Kiwi) and wowed everybody with his flying.

The warbird scene is much the poorer for the lack of them now.

Good job posting that Spitty.
