Keith: Thanks for the posting. The two seater Spit is a pretty rare bird. From the sound of the brief writeup, seems like the Spit driver was at fault.
Mike: We here in Canada had a Fairy Firefly prang during an annual airshow event at the Canadian National Exhibition on the waterefront at Toronto. The pilot was a well known aviator and local business man.
Was the Bf 109 which you mentioned...Black 6? IIRC, the last Gustav model flying. I think it was ex Spanish AF and was in Battle of Britain film.
Another P51D fatal happened with Jeff Ethell during a North American airshow.
