It is a lovely Spitfire, but I thought that a clipped wing, 5-blade prop was a later model. Thanks for enlightening me. I have another photo when the aircraft was almost overhead at about 100 feet, but it was so exciting the photo is pretty blurred ;-).

The biplane, I am pretty sure, was a Swedish Tomalisa.

All photos taken with OMs etc...

I have a picture of that particular Spit in "Flying Legends" by John M.
Dibbs.  It is identified as a "Spitfire LF VC".  A MK V with 20mm cannon
in the wings, centerline bomb racks and clipped wings.

Sure is handsome!

What is the Biplane?  Looks like a Sopwith.
