You need to click on the white writing that says "The original spitfire........"

Thot was a right good bit of flying, there.

Nope........ no white writing either! I must be looking at the Spitfires found in Burma

[CINDERS]

Try this the flying was I think a pilot called Hanna

[scoobsean]

Ray Hanna. Same pilot in both clips

[Peter Laidler]

Nope, still nothing. Am I missing something here in my quest for total computer illiteracy?

While on the subject of low flying, here at Abingdon about 15 years ago a Hercules was doing several low passes over the airfield and a load of crunchies were faffing around at the Southern end of the airfield with some tents and camouflaged trucks - as they are prone to do! One got onto the top of his Bedford, so we're talking about this dimwits head being 15 feet off the ground now. Anyway, Herc pilot anxious to show off his new found skills does a low pass to impress lad with camera on top of lorry.

You could say that the Herc made a BIG impression on the lad as the propellor took his head clean off - never to be found - vapourised! Rest of blokes and lorries covered in blood and guts

Nice bit of threading the needle. I seem to remember a bit of that low-level in-the-river stuff in an episode of Foyle's War. As I recall, it was Spitfire Mk.V "RFD" EN951 in Polish No. 316 Squadron livery for part of the episode and a Mk.IX for the other.
