During the last air show in my town (Pescara, Italy) I had the occasion to see "him" flying, to hear the prop roaring and to walk around this classic warbirds with my heart bumping like a conga! Was the first time for me with a Spitfire in front of my face: everything was superb and I don't know the accuracy of the repairs and if everything were original or not, was just a great emotion!!! So I want to share with all of you these moments with a mini walk around under the rain, I got wet at the end but that beauty had worth the natural shower. Let's go to see what I shot.
