The guy with the mike is Alain de Cadenet, and it's Ray Hanna in the Spit.
The shot was at Duxford during the Spitfire Anniversary Show a few years ago.
You missed the best part. Alain's antics a few seconds after the tape ended had Duxford and the Hanna crew in stitches the whole weekend :-))

Scott Connor of the Flying Machines DVD's is on the camera and can be heard laughing in the end....

It's been said that the wind increases in speed and makes a strange sound as it passes under the arch of the old Winston Bridge on the river Tees in Co Durham.
My guess is that what folks might actually be hearing there might just be the shock wave coming off the walls of the bridge caused by a ghostly Spitfire and a laughing Ray Hanna as they return every once in a while to continue the fun.

Indeed, he was one of the best in the business.

As the Spit approaches, you can see the effect of the air as it is blowing the grass....
