Nice find!
Amazing that both the film and the pilot are still around.

Well worth the watch.

That was definitely worth watching. Observing the look on this gentleman's face as he watched the footage was priceless.

Yep, great film. The USAAF flew more than just the PR Spitfire. The 31st Fighter Group also flew Spitfire fighters in the Med and Italy.

Sorry if was a repost, don't watch forum every day.
Looks like some folks didn't see before (like me).
My apologies.

No need to apologize. Like you said, some of us hadn't seen it before and would have missed it altogether.

Originally that was posted during Memorial Day weekend here in the States, so many folks were probably out and about and missed it.
And originally it was posted for only the Memorial Day celebration by YouTube, it was to have been posted for only a limited time, then taken down.
Thankfully the documentary makers have left it up, and apparently are posting it elsewhere for others to see, it is a great short to watch nonetheless.

So really anytime its gets posted again, that's a good thing. It's great to watch over and over.

Very nice tribute to the value of history and it's makers.
