One hopes Mr Pitt will not be bit by his Spit.
Do we know what mark it is?
A delight to fly by all accounts, but not easy to taxi and take off - espec. later marks prone to torque induced yaw and roll IIRC?
Was it just the Griffon engined ones that did so?
Easy on the throttle and foot on right rudder as experienced pilots like Sir Tim Wallis found out.
And as for the `Spitfire bounce' on landing...
