With a rotol prop? The first of the Few. I see Spittie, I start to cry.

She has a de Havilland spinner, not rotol. The team who restored this particular machine went out of their way to reproduce the correct to airframe de Havilland props as no original examples existed. They were prone to corrosion so none surivived.

My all time favourite aeroplane is K5054: the prototype spitfire.
I love them all but the closer to the first one the more I get all misty eyed.

That Mutt Summers line is almost always taken out of context as much as Adolf Galland's "give me a squadron of Spitfires".

"Gentleman, just tell me if there is anything at all you need"

My favourite bit of the film. Don't ruin it.
