WWII Spitfire Test Flight Photos (serious DUW)

[crapwhereaminow]

I'm not really sure how many people are interested in this, but I'll share anyway.

When I'm not cleaning up reptile poo I volunteer at a WWII museum near my house. Then plane I spend most of my time on is a mk.14 Spitfire. It flew for the first time last August after a 7 year restoration, then the brakes went out.

So here it is, after fixing the issues with the pneumatic system, flying last saturday. I was in the chase plane (a two seater P-51 ) taking photos.





















Buzzing the museum. You can see the main hangers and the wing of the P-51.



My view out the backseat.



The aftermath



I hope everyone enjoyed the photos, and if you're in the LA area come down to the museum on a Saturday to see the planes in person!
