    Kent is my home county, Mother served at Manston in the WAAF's in WW2 and the beautiful Spitfire.
    I'll let the display speak for itself.
    Enjoy
    Cheers

    Eternal vigilance.

    Thanks for that, resulted in a 2 hour youtube session, hunting down low level flypasts and spitfire displays!

    In 1995 I was playing a game of golf in Tonbridge when I heard a noise of engines....and two Spitfires in a close formation suddenly passed not higher than 100 m over my head.
    An amazing sight that I will never forget.

    I will never get tired of that sound....fantastic. Thanks for sharing
    Fr President Clemenceau’s speech to the AIF 7th July 1918: “ we expected a great deal of (Australians)… We knew that you would fight a real fight, but we did not know that from the beginning you would astonish the whole continent. I shall go back and say to my countrymen “I have seen the Australians, I have looked in their faces …I know that they will fight alongside of us again until the cause for which we are all fighting is safe for us and for our children”.

    Nice video Readie.

    Does anyone know how close a display pilot takes a plane like a Spitfire to the red line, are they using full power or is it limited for safety and engine life?
