Such a beautiful & stunning aircraft, saw it along with a pair of Spitfires at the Bournemath Air show a few years go.

Got to love those Merlin engines  :-*

Saw a massive plane fly over Heinz today ..... 2 o'clock-ish ..... had a small plane at either wing tip. No idea what they were, but what ever they were, they seemed to be doing about 20mph - 25mph tops!  ::) ::) ::) No idea how they were staying up in the air, they were going that slow!  ;D ;D ;D
