The pilots may be gone but some of the planes are still flying.

1943 Spitfire takes to the sky again

Beautiful.

The V12 sounds great.

It’s a Mk. IXb Spitfire with a Merlin 66 engine (2,000 hp (1,500 kW) at sea level and 1,860 hp (1,390 kW) at 10,500 ft (3,200 m).

Mk. IXs were, according to several WW2 pilots’ accounts, the best all-round Spitfires.
