Follow the URL to see how you can fly a Spitfire - It's time for one of Mat's biggest & best reviews yet. He's got his hands on a classic Supermarine Spitfire! It's his first time reviewing a plane, but he's still going to give it a classic carwow review, checking out the design, the interior, and even launching it from 0-60mph! So, what can we tell you about this Spitfire? Well, it's the Mk9 edition, and it was built back in 1944! To date, it's done about 3, 000 hours of flying, and it's powered by an absolutely huge engine - a 27-litre V12 that can produce 1700hp! So it's definitely the oldest vehicle Mat's reviewed, and it's also his first plane review! The question is, should he do more reviews like this?

Aww Matt this actually brought tears to my eyes as well as a huge grin. Sixteen years ago we said goodbye to my dad who was in the airforce during the war serving as ground crew. He knew every aircraft of the time just by the sound of the engine. Your face was a picture, in the helmet you looked just like the younger self you described! I hope the pilot's ears soon recovered, he must have to wear ear plugs cos I bet everyone he takes out squeals just the same as you -
Edut: ooh yes, I meant to compliment your descriptive abilities even whilst in a stare of extreme excitement! -

Possibly the most iconic fighter plane in history, beautiful lines although the hurricane did more work during the battle, possibly down to numbers. Not my No1 though, the Mosquito holds that place, again beautiful lines and for a twin engines plane such a balanced shape with a rich history of some of the most daring exploits. Great to see Matt so excited, whats next I wonder, speedboat?

The take off wasn-t a short field take off, it was a rolling take off so I imagine that the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times would be much different had the shirt field take off technique been adopted. Regardless, wheels are much more effective at accelerating a ground based vehicle.

I regularly hear a Spitfire (not sure if it-s this particular one) doing lazy low dipping turns over Box Hill nearby, and I can occasionally catch sight of it through the trees. As it turns in to the dive, the glorious -bwwoaaow- noise echos around the valley.

Has to be the most beautiful plane that ever took to the air. you regularly see those Spitfires from these companies selling experience flights from Eastbourne, as they make a beeline for the Seven Sisters. Sounds and looks amazing

The fighter which fought the legendary Messerschmitt bf 109 during wwii, being in service in Britain, north Africa, India, Australia, Turkey, Germany, Italy and even France and Belgium, and most importantly D DAY

Best review you-ve done Matt. I was smiling all the way through your flight as I could see how happy and apprehensive you were all at the same time. What a aeroplane and what an experience ---

It would be very exciting to see a future review of a racing aerobatic plane, or fighter jet (Retired, like the Panavia Tornado in a future video, Matt if you have good taste.

The fact that this plane flew over arnhem in ww2 made me really emotional. My grandpa has probably seen or at least heard this very plane fly over the city back then.

Under 12 seconds to 60 isn't bad when you consider all you are doing is pushing air backwards, rather than using a geartrain to provide drive to the wheels.
