Aircraft > popular all-time > Spitfire MK XVI and Hurricane routine flown by Nigel Lamb and Stuart Goldspink. Awesome.  The pair graced the skies above Wanaka possibly for the last time in public before the Spitfire travels to Australia to live at Temora Aviation Museum. Come on, David, buy the Hurricane, too.
