Spit
A candidate for the prettiest plane ever built. The old pilots used to say that if it looked good, it would fly good. The Spit sure typified that.

"The last of the Spitfires"
There were later ones than the MK17, like the Mark XIX versions with 5-bladed prop and even two counter-rotating 4s.

Yes...I was witness to one flying over our main highway here flanked by Harvards about 25 years back. No idea who or why...it had clipped wing ends and counter rotating props. Very evident...
