    Spitfire!!!!!!



    Sorry, but there is a few rude words at the end.

    The Spitfire is a cracking bit of kit that, along with the heroes inside them, deserves every bit as much respect now as it did all those years ago.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      Agreed 100% HAB. The clip is an 'oldie' but a 'goldie', but a sensational aircraft, and one that deserves respect and awe at all times.

        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                  Is it some kind of optical illusion, or is that plane managing to hover? It's hardly moving as it is over the runway, how does it avoid stalling?

                    I've had some dodgy landings in a 767 n BA's flights into some of the smaller airports in the Caribbean during hurricane season, but nothing has been as bad as that.
