Ohh that is gorgeous.

How long has it been, I wonder, since a Griffon VI was last airborne and turning?

I guess it would be since the last XVs were retired by -- Burma? I imagine they phased them out later than Canada or France.

Last flying one was 1960/61 in Seafire 17 SX137, now static at the FAA Museum, Yeovilton, UK.
