    It’s about 60/40 Czech/English, but it does have subtitles. The two Spits were TFC’s beautiful Mk.VB EP120 (with wingtips fitted and cannons removed) and Robs Lamplough’s Mk.VIII MV154. However, looking at some scenes you’d swear there were more Spits involved! Therein lies the beauty of modern film-making techniques! 😉

    Oh right cool you dont see Rob’s Spitfire much these days do you? Is it the Mark 5 that is the clipped wing verison?:o I like those they are me favorite:D

    BlueRobin is Atonement a bit like Peal Harbour but a British verison based on dunkirk?

    They should go to jail instead

    A bit over the top dont you think , He is only flying an A310 like a Spitfire would but because its much bigger plane you dont think its right and its wrong I say good on them

    As you said, an insult to all competent display pilots.

    Why is it an insult to all competent display pilots.? I dont think they could do that in a A310 or the pilot could do what they do in Spitfire’s or other warbirds plus it only looks like 4 flybys and thats it.

    Did Virgin do something like this when they got there A340-600 at the Farnborough Airshow?

    I would say that is an insult to good display pilots, Ray Hannna always built in good safety margins and escape routes in display. There are plenty of vids of comercial aircraft doing very low level passes safely, but this one just looks plain wrong and a risk to life – never excusable

    Looks like it had the bank if it had any problems, I like the fast flyby then up in the air:cool:

    In the UK, ex-military aircaft cannot be used commercially unless identical to a type-certified civil version, but can be issued a permit to fly, i.e. privately, if approved by the CAA.

    Hunters, Jet Provosts, Sea Vixen, Spitfires, etc. aren’t supported types but fly.

    Does that include the ex RAF, RN Gazelle’s and Bulldogs?
