Spent my childhood looking through a wire mesh fence at Mk XXIV Spitfire parked in an enclosure behind my granddads house in West Australia. There was also a Mosquito and a Lancaster. Saw a late model Spit on the tarmac at Palm Springs a few years ago. It was much smaller than I remembered.
That photo starting at the 22:52 mark is stunning. I think a case could be made for it being the most beautiful aircraft of WW2 combined with the coolest camo/national markings combination.

Best WW2 Spitfire!
