This is an exteremely sexy Aircraft, too bad it was never put into production. Stil... its aggressive looking enough with a sleek look, and I really like that.
Yes there is a Huge learning curve in flying. It starts on Take off and ends on the glide slope for landing. In short The grade arc is the difference you take between being in the sky or in a mountainside.

IDK, just looks kinda ugly to me.

Clearly two aircraft kinda franken-stiched together.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

You do understand it was the Merlin 60 series engine of the Spitfire VIII/IX combined with the airframe of the Allison P51 Mustang that became the bird everyone knows.

So the Spit was combined with the 51 :)
