The Spitfire was probably the most beautiful or graceful looking WW2 fighter.The Mustang FW 190 and Corsair all had their own "look" about them call it handsome "cool" or whatever.
u know u are save when u see those fly over wow makes me glad to b english but when i was younger i wonted to b american haha dont ask y haha cos i dont know y
Don't get me wrong, the spit was agreat plane but was limited to a front line fighter. The messerschmitt Bf109 was a comparable plane. The spit had the fortune of fighting in it's own turf. The germans had to travel pretty far to england did not have the fuel capacity to really engage the brits before they had to head back to france before running out of fuel.
True it was a frontline fighter, but certainly not limited in use or capability. Yes the Spitfire had "short legs", but dispite that it still it was used in every theater of WW2. It fullyfilled many various roles so I can't really agree with that it was "limited in use". It may not have had the range of P38, P47 etc, but it was still in service by the frontline everywhere.
True it was an air superiority fighter for point defense, - not for deep interception/interdiction.
This year at the Revival, the Royal Marine Marching band played Jerusalem then on the last cymbal clash of the song a host of British WWII planes flew low overhead and everyone started crying! Fantastic.

Wrong. Spitfires and Seafires were used all over the war theaters. Europe, Atlanctic, Pacific, Asia.

I agree! That's an absolutely mind boggling sight to see that many Spits in formation. Where are they all from?
