Note for Bill Greenwood,

It'll be OK in a little bit-just take a few deep breaths.

Great video , Nathan, and a new one that I had not seen. Never knew there were 3 two seaters together.
I twice sat in OUV at Duxford, ready to fly and the weather would not let us.

A Brit in a Spit is as happy as Charlie Sheen in Vegas.

If that doesn't bring a smile to your face and a lump to your throat..."Jack...you dead!"
I know that guy weighs more than 200 lbs.
We'll be at Duxford in July. Where do I sign up? Price is no object.

Mudge the lumpy and teary

ps. I like the Brit version of Top Gear far better than the US version.

There is an episode of James May's Toy Story that is based on Spitfires, and has a great deal of footage of James in one.

Yes, the UK version is much better than the US one. The Brits have immense FUN doing the show, using it to be able to do things like fly Spitfires and the like. The US version is so boring I've yet to force myself to wattch a whole episode. We didn't need an automotive version of MythBusters...

Yeah...that's the analogy I was looking for. Couldn't put my finger on just exactly what the show was trying to do.

Mudge the stumped

Awesome video. Love that they used the music from the Battle of Britain.
