On a glorious calm morning last year I took the Spitfire up, and could hardly stop rolling and looping -- I almost felt guilty.

Another difficult day there Dave, I dunno how you cope with such tough assignments...

Seriously though, it's a great video and all the pre-start checklists and so on are really interesting and give a real insight. Many thanks!

You probably need a backup pilot for the Spit. I can be there...um...when do you need me to be there? Just let me know...

Marvelous - just marvelous! Thanks for helping us dreamers try to imagine what this must be like.

(And by the way, 'love the engine start & checklist material - can't imagine why anyone would skip it!)

If I ever grow up, I want to be you Dave!

Lovely video as usual Dave!

Looking forward to more in the future!

Hey Dave.
As an engineer, this video really concerns me.
The difficulty of maintaining straight and level flight, seems to be a very real problem.
I strongly recommend that you go out and verify all of these parameters again

Good on you Dave! Great video,

Thanks for posting.

Andy

Thanks! This one has had a quick response, as these thing go...

I put the checklist-skip option in because I didn't want to repeat what I'd already posted several times.

The aeroplane is waiting for it's post-Annual check flight right now, but the travel rules just tightened up.

I learn something from everyone:

I like your lazy 8 method of losing altitude. I'll start using that.

Thanks for doing that video. I'm sure a lot goes into narrating a editing. The flying is always the easy part!
