Spitfire flew over my house again today... Now the good wether is here they will be over all the time... Will post photographs one day i promise... They are just so low, maybe 200metres, you really have to have the camera in hand.

That would be something to see (and hear)!

Pssst Could you send a sound file to IC? Just so they know that Spits and Hurries DON'T sound like delivery trucks? LOL

Yep,they were in Greenland if memory serves and ammo for the Hispano-Suiza in 20mm had been out of production for a while.. And even if it wasn't, I doubt you could get your hands on it as a civilian. Technically what they did was illegal,but u can appreciate that law enforcement in that neck of the woods is a bit sparse ;-)
