I shot this footage over the weekend, Im sure everyone will agree it was a fitting display by John Romain in the Spitfire MkXVIII to end the show.

Great stuff. 🙂
I love the Merlin Spits, but there’s just something about the Griffon that gives the Spit something extra…. Or is that just me?

Thanks Mark V!
I have seen a Chipmunk being “shot to life” and I got the impression of a cartridge start in the video but I was wrong.

How many of the Griffon Spits have the Coffman cartridge starter
None (that are flying today).

The Freshest,
thanks for sharing … 🙂 … I really did enjoy the video!
It raises a question:
How many of the Griffon Spits have the Coffman cartridge starter and how many have been converted to electric? I assume that those modified to take the Griffon 57 have electric starters but have any of the Griffon 65 engined Spits been converted from cartridge starter to electric?
