This Merlin engined Spitfire PR.11 PL965 (G-MKXI) turned up at Old Warden at the weekend and did a fantastic display. The sound I recorded starts with the aircraft looping over the field and then a fast flyover right on axis with my mic setup.
Another one of the great aircraft at Hanger 11, North Weald. More information from the Hanger 11 web site.
For a change I took my camera and took a few snaps instead of relying on Wikpedia content.
