Great CGI. I say it every time a Spit thread comes up, but I think its the most elegant machine ever conceived. The 109 has its own beauty, like a 911, function over form. But the Spitfire is simply a beautiful machine.

Now, as a boyhood Spitfire nerd, I hope they have their facts right....if thats the Battle of Britain era (ie they are fighting over England, and as it turns Ireland) the Spitfire carried 8xBrowning .303, not the 20mm cannon depicted.......IIRC.

The late 60's "Battle of Britain" is still the film. And there is a recent DVD version which contains a "making of" documentary which is even better than the film.
