Still one of the most beautiful - and deadly - aircraft in history


Here's a great video news report about the restoration of a Supermarine Seafire Mk. XV - the carrier-borne version of the Spitfire fighter.  I suggest watching it in full-screen mode.





Just beautiful, isn't she?

  2. Murphy's law, we can go halves if I win the lotto. I've got high-performance and tailwheel ratings, and CFI-single engine. What more do we need?

  4. I dreamed about a Spitfire once, for no reason I could discern.

  6. Sadly, not a Merlin if the restoration is faithful. The later marks of Spitfires and Seafires used the larger and more powerful Rolls-Royce Griffon.
