VH-KDK Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The Supermarine Spiteful was designed as a successor to the Spitfire. An order was placed for 150 of the Griffon engine fighter but the advent of the jet made them obsolete so only 19 were built starting in 1944. This one is leaving Elstree and heading east. 1. A low pass over Elstree. 2. Elstree and Hilfield Park Reservoir. A pity about the exhaust trails ahead of the Spiteful! 3. Passing over Watling Street and starting to climb. 4. Over King George's and William Girling Reservoirs. Some of the London high rise is just visible through the haze. 5. About to enter clouds with North Weald airfield below. The junction of the M25 and M11 can be seen. 6. 7. Straight vees with minimal cropping. Hope you enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a strange looking Spit ... looks more like a Mustang Adam. The wings reminded me of a Mustang too. Griffons have been fitted to Mustangs but only for racing at Reno. The Griffons are the contra-rotating ones taken from the Shackleton. Very interesting plane Martyn and a great job showing her!! Adam Great set! Allowing me to ahave a look on that scenery. Thank you ! Bug. Thanks to you all for taking the time to comment. Greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
