| Spitfire Versus MX2 |
 |
To celebrate the return of the Red Bull Air
Race World Championship to London on 2 & 3
August this year, current World Championship
leader Paul Bonhomme today took the controls
of a 1940's Spitfire to try his hand at 'air
racing' of a different kind. Bonhomme's aim
was to test the speed and agility of the
Spitfire, against a modern day plane designed
specifically for the Red Bull Air Race, the
MX2, piloted by his World Championship
opponent Nigel Lamb.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the
first production line Spitfire and the 85th
anniversary of the first Schneider Trophy
race in the UK which was a speed race over
200km contested by the Spitfire's
predecessor, the Supermarine S.6b.
In a nod to the UK Schneider Trophy course
which was situated around the Solent over
Calshot and Cowes, Bonhomme and Lamb flew
their planes on a lap around the Isle of
Wight, using the stunning Needles as a
natural start and finish gate.

| Mustang and Spitfire Ottawa Air Rally 2006 |
 |
Here is our local Vintage Wings of Canada P51
attempting to start a few times. He seems to
have had a flooding problem and actually has
flames shooting out of the exhaust. Ironic
that the Mustang is the one that Spits Fire!
Third time was the charm. Then the Merlin
Powered Spitfire starts up after a little
trying. Flying shots include my 3 year olds
airplane recognition skills. From August
2006 at the Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa.
Video quality is poor, but the sound is nice!
