The Spitfire is still one of the most beautiful planes ever built, and the sound of its Merlin engine sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it! clapclap

Does anyone know if there are any Typhoons still flying-would love to go and see one in the air.

Great pictures, they reminded me of an aircraft I spotted on Sunday. I can usually identify the more common WWII type fighters however this one was not one I recognised. It was certainly military based on the shape and colour and Hurricane sized, beyond that I have no idea...
