“In my opinion there is no other aircraft that quite combines beauty, power and superb handling quite like the Spitfire. It’s a pilots dream to fly – perfectly balanced controls, outstanding performance and benign handling qualities. These attributes combined with arguably the most beautiful aircraft ever created have rightly given the Spitfire legendary status. I don’t think there is a better view than looking from the cockpit at the White Cliffs of Dover over the elliptical wing of the Spitfire, accompanied by a wonderful soundtrack from the mighty Merlin engine.”
