Yeah, would have made a good parachute though, even if it was a bit windy round the necessaries :D

Both vids are fantastic - you can't beat those two excellent work horses.

Hurricanes were successful in annihilating the most number of enemy a/c but Spitfire always get the glory.

Wow!!!

Cool :) have never had a Spitfire fly straight through my living room before :eek:
Made me want to duck :D

well thats because the Spitfire went after the fighters and left the Hurries the easier Bombers ;)





runs and hides from Hurricane lovers lol....... ;)

yeah, they where both good aircraft in the BoB, just the shame the hurricane couldn't be upgraded like the Spitfire was, by the wars end the Spit was far more advanced than the good old hurricane :(

There I was circling my hang glider and drifting silently eastwards over Lincolnshire at about 3000ft when I heard a sound that was not a cessna. It was a Messerschmitt 109 thay passed just a bit lower and to one side giving me a little wag of the wings in acknowledgement.
A few seconds later was the Merlin sound as a Spitfire passed by obviously on the way to the same airshow.
Its was one of those "did that really happen?" moments that will be in my memory forever!
