Interesting stories & photos of Cliff Robertson's Spitfire.
He also tried to buy one of the "633 Squadron's" Mosquitos's but was shot down: :cry:

Back in the day (1984) I saw Jerry Billings fly the Spit at Detroit. Really awesome. He did some superflybys, nothing like what we see now (except for Snort). He was awesome.........

If you get a chance, check out his movie "The Pilot". I think it's the best airline flying movie ever made.
