My thanks to luckystrike76HD for correcting me and my humble apologies for getting it wrong. The pilot is indeed Stuart Goldspink - the commentator even says so! Description now corrected.
This video gave me chills, a few tears & had me sitting up straighter with pride. My dear dad was a Fitter Armourer for Squadron 222. until '45. Seeing this beautiful piece of history made me wonder if my dad had stood on her wings, preparing her for whatever lay ahead ? His name is Arthur Murphy, he passed in '97. Though he and the rest endured some horrific moments, he was always proud of these gorgeous enduring planes.
@TracyM132@TracyM132 Many thanks. I'm pleased that this brought back memories, some good,for you. I'll be adding more from this event soon, including one of this Spitfire flying in formation with a Mustang. I hope that you enjoy them as much as this. A tribute to the brave people they represent past and present, especially the RAF/Allied pilots and ground crews of WW2, like your father, who served and survived, or sacrificed themselves for our freedom;as well as those who keep them flying now.
beautiful....gave me goosebumps! Or Moosebumps rather :)
