Yes seeing the two Lancs together would be somthing Hopefully they avoid built up areas...apparently from 1000Ft AGL. if you loose an engine in the Spitfire, you can draw an imaginary line between the nose and the wing tip because that's where you're going. The prop windmilling becomes a huge air brake. So would be interesting to see at what sort of alt they transit at. The glide can be stretched a lot by pulling the prop pitch to fully coarse, but I think the Spitfire becomes a different animal engine out, compared the beautiful, forgiving and communicative flying machine she is under power.
