That Snow bloke is a very lucky man! The view he had from that Lancaster was amazing.
Bought a lump to my throat, that did...

When I saw him climb aboard, I just thought 'bastard!' If I got that lucky, I'd have made a replica bomb-sight, and been saying, 'steady, steady, bomb gone!' as I flew towards the towers. The shots of the two PR Mk XIX Spits flying alongside were fabulous. Stunning stuff.
There are only four of those Spits left, of 240-odd built, and those are two of the four, possibly the most beautiful of all the Spitfire variants, IMHO.
