Found this one by chance - aside from the clip of Alain de Cadenet nearly being taken out by Ray Hanna in a Spitfire, here's one of the best ever Spitfire clips, the one of Ray Hanna flying under the river bridge for the "Piece of Cake" TV series in the late 80s. http://www.youtube.com/watch_fullscreen?video_id=_OF0v1dwYC8&l=181&t=OEgsToPDskLJy5IAYSy0Z1JNsV4CCVmP&fs=1&title=Spitfire%20Under%20BridgeNo models used. No trick cutting or editing. No computer simulation. Just a real, full-size Spitfire pulled along by a lovely Merlin, and flown about as low as you can get without hitting the river, through the arch of a rather narrow bridge. Enjoy. MG Mark

Looks like a lot of fun.
Looks pretty lethal to me, far too much power on the real wheels

Every time I hear a see and hear a Spitfire like that it brings tears to my eyes. I can't explain why, it just does. I think it's a combination of the noise, the gracefulness and sheer beauty of them, and I suppose their history. I'm only 35 now, so it's not that I'm reminiscing over times gone by. It just happens. I just watched that clip about a dozen times, and am sitting here blubbering like a fool. God, to fly one must be awesome... Love the Alan de Cadanet clip too...

Try looking at this... and start saving your pennies, theres also a 2 seater based at Duxford, expect to pay about £1200 -1500 for 45 mins. http://www.tigerairways.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=36
