February 18, 200521 yr http://www.rolls-royce.com/history/overview/spitfire.jspOn the left pane of the above page is a link to a short video of a Griffon-powered Spitfire. This particular aircraft is owned and operated by Rolls-Royce itself. FS2004 Realair Spit pilots might enjoy watching, gives ya nice perspective seeing the real one flying around. :)

February 19, 200521 yr Yeeeeehaaaaa!********** me!!! :-eekWhat was going on there? Looks like that pilot was on some kind of bender to take out a reporter!Great vid! Thanks :DJames
February 19, 200521 yr For what it's worth, the Spitfire pilot was Mark Hanna, a well-known warbird pilot who was killed in a warbird crash in Spain in 1999. The reporter was Alan de Cadenet, an ex-racing driver and current race team owner who does a lot of reporting and commentary for the Speed Channel in the US. He also happens to own and fly a Spitfire himself.

I'm currently using version 1.0 Mozilla as my primary web browser, along with Windows Media player version 6.4 and Windows XP Home. Still working ok for me. Do you guys have Media player 6.4+ and all of the updated codecs?
