I'm no expert when it come to which engine it had but it sounded fantastic, it was one of the few 2 seater Spitfires still flying, thats what I'm told, I'm sure soem one out there knows better than me, it came from Duxford,,

The guy who held the pary has also bought a flight in it  8)

Range Rover Red:
We discovered on the last day of our holiday that there was an air show over the Bristol Channel, based at Weston super Mare.  Red Arrows, Black Cats, BOB Memorial Flight (minus Lancaster - it was poorly), Blue Eagles, topped off with the Red Devils, and if RRB sees this then I'm sure he will fill in the ones I've forgotten!  The batteries packed up on the camera after the Red Arrows  :cry:  and the spares were in the car :oops:

It was a fantastic, FOC display which lasted for over two hours, and the commentary point was able to link up with the cockpit radios (or so we were led to believe) with instructions such as 'Nose-over, nose-over - Go!' as the two Lynx helicopters dipped their noses together to take a bow.

In addition to the Hurricane, there were two Spitfires, one of which actually fought in the Battle of Britain, and the other was one of the later ones which only saw the end of the war.  Rather than doing a fly-past and not seeing them again, they were over the town for about ten minutes performing general aerobatics and slow Victory rolls and generally enjoying the day.
