Mach Loop with Piston fighters

quick question.
Has anyone flown the mach loop with a restored Spitfire or similar WW2 fighter?
If so does anyone have a link to a video?
A google search didn’t reveal anything.

I know someone who claims to have flown it in a Chipmunk...

At least that would allow the photographers to use a nice long exposure.

I have flown a Spitmunk, but not round the Mach loop.

For clarity, I have flown a Chippy out of Tangmere, and bought fish and chips from a "chippy" in Yorkshire.

There was an excellent youtube cockpit video of a Bulldog flying the Mach loop, but I can't find it any more

That is daring, there are places where the ground has a better manoeuvring envelope than a Bulldog.
