I live in the south of England, Boultbee operate their fleet of Spitfires offering joy flights from an airfield less than 2 minutes drive from my house. In the summer I get to sit in the back garden and watch Spitfires fly over several times a day and the sound, the silhouette, and the nostalgia the whole affair induces is something I can't describe in words - it's just something that you can only experience in the flesh. It's nearly US$4,000 for a 30 minute joy ride so I'm squirrelling away a little each week to save up for a flight in a Spit for myself. I've flown in a Hornet, Hawk mk127, Pitts, Chipmunk, Winjeel, Long-EZ, the list is endless, but the Spitfire by far is the aircraft I'm most excited about. I'll try to remember to send you a video of the flight when it happens! Thanks for this video GS, was very entertaining to watch.

Big fun in the Spitfire I wonder why he didn't come for you with something with Supermaneuverability?

If a WW2 aircraft can beat modern US jets, then that means the 1980 Film, ‘The Final Countdown’ is not historically accurate

We need Spitfires with modern missiles and avionics in the Air Force stat.

That is definitely something you should try against Athé. Both ways. Especially since he just released a video of a South American dogfight between a prop plane (bronco) and an F-16.

Hey GS great vid. All Hail Spitfire! Several mentions about BVR & missiles having different result. Wonder if you considered Mosquito v modern jet missile test? I read the wooden Mosquito was hard to pick up on radar, be interested to see if plane/missile finds maintaining lock difficult... 🤔

Unironically a great Canada day gift, a lot of spitfires were built close to my home town in Windsor ON

All these prop fights (and the WWI IL-2 ones!) are just the best. Would love to see more.
