  • The video is heavily edited from the very large amount of material given to me by the staff at the Heritage Centre. It shows the taxy run and take-off; meeting the photographic 'chase aircraft' and then the four "Victory Rolls" over the White Cliffs of Dover at Beachy Head. It ends with the landing and return to the Heritage Hangar.
    Many thanks to my pilot Barry who allowed me to fly the Spitfire from after we parted company with the chase aircraft all the way to the White Cliffs. Then after the aerobatics, to fly again to where he took control as we approached the airport to prepare for landing.
    It was all an amazing experience, the culmination of everything I've ever read about the Spifire and to see it all 'come to life' was unforgettable.
    And with me in spirit : Douglas Bader, Robert Stanford-Tuck and Frank Sorensen.
