Dittoes on Dark Blue World.

My Dad was an aeronautical engineer at Supermarine (makers of the Spitfire) so I am a bit biased.

Very cool..I am a bit of aircraft nut..Part of growing up in So Cal between North American, Douglas, Lockheed & Northrop I guess

Supermarine designed some of the most beautiful aircraft ever the Spit for one... but I also love (at least for looks)some of the later Supermarine designs too, the "Spiteful/Seafang" and jet "Scimitar"
