Helmet-Cam, Spitfire Display, DH Vampire

I ran a helmet-cam for most of the 2018 season -- when I remember to turn it on... Here is a video I've edited of an airshow in St. Thomas ON last June, with commentary. There had been no time to gain an aerobatic accreditation, so I designed the show to display the Spitfire as well as possible while staying within 45 vertical and 75 bank limits. Later there is footage of formation passes with a DH Vampire.

This is the only flying Spitfire, and Vampire, in Canada.

After this show I spent the rest of the summer in the aeroplane, flying to Comox BC and back, a trip of over 5000 miles.
