OT: A very familiar type takes to the air once more

As some of you will know, I have a soft spot for the Hawker Tempest Mk.II and discovered this in my YouTube feed tonight. Magnificent! I can feel the compulsion to visit a Duxford air show again...

Looks a lot better now than that photo from Poona, I've waited a long time to see her in flight. Hopefully a Mk.V will also make it back into the air some day and I'll get to hear a Sabre used in anger.
