I doubt it. That's some pretty accurate flying right there, all things considered. A lot of British pilots during the Battle of Britain didn't have much training. There were a few really good pilots (who would have been better when you include gunmanship and tactical combat flying to just raw acrobatics), but the chances of them having flown this particular spitfire are slim.

All still from the Rolls Royce stable though... great sounds engines all round :)

Excuse me for being an anorak, but I measured the spitfire's altitude in the last frame where it's complete wingspan is visible ( utilising it's shadow, and the fact that the spitfire's wingspan is 11 metres ), and it is 1.7 metres off the ground ... bloody hell !!!

It's not a Griffon. If it's Ray Hanna flying it, it's MH434, a Merlin 60 engined MKIX and one of the best of the breed.

The Spit misses his head by no more than 10 feet.Sound a lot?Remember the prop diameter.Any lower and he'd be wearing a crew-cut.

Incredible video, I was expecting the Spitfire to be miles off in the sky! Scared the crap out of me, the film crew and presenter have balls of steel, the pilot must have been incredible!

its actually a griffin engine mate...u can tell by the growling sound. it was the more powerful engine found in later marks.
