Just felt like taking a cruise, nice and gentle, a little bit of aerobatics... So kicking off from Aukland in my MkIX

Then I thought I'd switch to HawkerTempests favourite mount, the Mk XIV

Safely down in Hamilton in time for tea and chocolate cake Grin

Ah, nice stuff pal. Glad to see you flying a "real" Spitfire there also. That MkXIVe is my all time favourite FS Spitfire Grin

Ozzy

Ozzy is of course correct. Almost all Griffon Spits had the five blade prop. The exceptions being the MkXII and Seafire XV that had a four bladed prop, a handful of MkXIV's and F Mk21's with contra-props and the Seafire FR46/47 Wink

Very nice pics, good quality. Try Queenstown when your in New Zealand next time. The approach is very freaky, Or take off, didn't really check... Tongue

Silent old chap, these are both Paul Rebuffat Spits. You can get them at Sim Outhouse, No Nodes and Netwings. The MkXIV repaint Ozzy is using I think is from AvHistory Wink
