i think thats from "a spitfire's story"
it is in the production release but no sound a the end.
the Spit is flown by Ray Hanna..the owner of "MH434" flys out of Duxford.
see im a saddo for knowing all that.
being a bit of a spitfire freak.

I remember doing a bit multi period re-enactment show at Kirby Hall. When the 2nd World War lot came on they had a spitfire as air support. This thing
flew over at a couple of hundred feet, but the real nice bit was when he rolled 90 degrees and flew the right wing tip between the chimney stacks.
Fooking nutter he was.

Meany is right, the aircraft is MH434, which is based in Duxford, and is part of the Old Flying Machine Company collection. And, in the video, it was
indeed flown by Ray Hannah, co-owner of the company with his son, Mark. I have followed this particular Spitfire for some years.
Sadly, Mark was killed flying the company's Messerschmidt ME109 a few years ago, and Ray died a year ago, in Switzerland, I believe, of natural
causes.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mark in 1995 at Duxford...a true enthusiast, a gifted flier, and a true gentleman. I never met Ray, but I've
heard no less than the best about him as well.
As far as I know, Alan DeCadanet is still alive and kicking....

By the way, does anyone know how to get this clip as a saveable WMV file or anything? I'd like to save a copy, if I can figure out how. We may
not see MH434 fly again...
