Most definitely a Spitfire, it was meant to go with the Lancaster but they scrubbed the flight. I also filmed it taking off, here is a still:Tain't obvious is it? Could be a two seater Spit. Maybe. The wingtips look right for a Spit.
Shame the camera focussed on the fence! The bliidy things WILL do that sort of thing!
not sure, I just pinched them off the tinternet
Here is a pic taken of a "Spit" from the rear at much the same angle as the one in @My Old Landy's PicNope

It clearly shows the wheel spats on the outside.
so looks the same as the one he saw.
I am a mite confused now!!!
wonder if it depends on which Mark of Spit it was ?!!!
Tis the magic of flight, you have heard of 'a wing and a prayer'The prop int goin' round

Really wish there was a pic of the card to go with this!!!!!!Am still laughing and my eyes are watering
OK, just to apologise to @Def90man it was a Hurricane after all. The Spitfire was already in the air.
Just to show it, I had another pic with the number on it RF-J which is registered to the BBMF Hurricane

In that book I mentioned there were accounts of pilots landing with bits missing off their props and even, of one Hurricane that was deliberately rammed into a Me110, and the pilot survived. Zakhar Sorokin. He had alreadu shot one down, taken a bullet in the thigh, run out of ammo so rammed another, he then crashlanded but was attacked on the ground by the crew of the shot down or rammed plane. He shot one, then fought the other who attacked him with a knife until he could bring up his Very pistol and kill him too. He then set off to walk for 7 days over the frozen tundra. He got to a village, his mates came to pick him up, he had both feet amputated due to frostbite and was fitted with prosthetics. He went on to shoot down a further nine German aircraft and got the OBE awarded by George VI.Tis the magic of flight, you have heard of 'a wing and a prayer'
