    1. The BMW is a bit older than that. I think it's a '70 2800 CS judging by the blister turn signals on the fenders.

      Should be a ME109 with a BMW (or a Mercedes since they built the engines) or a Spitfire and Jaguar.

  4. So British on another German no strafing run? Was this an attempt at marketing? Cool photo nonetheless.

  5. First thought of the opening scene from "A Bridge Too Far". Wing waggling Spitfire gave the young man peddling along on a bike the treat of a lifetime.
