Ok, that just sucked. Sucked to watch it, sucked to be the pilot, sucked that it was a Spitfire, AND sucked that someone had to die. It general it just sucked.
Almost as bad as watching that footage of two Corsairs cut each other in half a while back at Oshkosk. :(

Couldn`t watch the movie... some restored Spitty crashed? Too bad, it`s always make you mad to see such a piece of history being destroyed, last month the brand new 109G-4, ah!:(

Who was the pilot and which Spit was it?

Scared me at first as based on my first look it could only have been the B of B flight Spit II.

 A second looks tells me it's a replica Spit homebuilt.

Still tragic that someone was lost.  No real Spits down though.
