Both awesome planes and only 31 years apart. A few (lot of) years ago both a Spitfire and Hurricane were flying at the bottom of my street due to Sunderland Air Show. What a fantastic sight and beautiful noise. Hard decision but the Spitfire just wins.
Watched the Red Arrows at the bottom of the street when the North Run was on. As always, jaw dropping. Did their display and then disappeared out over the North Sea. Next day when I was out on the boat, I got a formation fly past when they were returning to base. I'm sure one or two tipped their wing ;D
