Thanks for posting those very nice shots Mr. A.
Is there any reason that you mentioned the Hurricanes last

For some reason, whenever I see a (T) variant Spitfire it really emphasizes the Spitfire's small size with the extra canopy taking up so much space. That's a whole lot of engine hung on the front of not very much airplane! Good times.

I still really like that Seafire's paint scheme, too.

Thanks for taking the time to post the photos. It is the next best thing to being there!
