Two good videos from the BBC, first one is a flight in a twin seat Spitfire.......

Second is a interview with the owner of the The Aircraft Restoration Company.....

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-10955752 ......a very interesting report.

The Spitfire is what comes to mind when the Battle of Britain is mentioned but I have read that the Hurricane accounted for nearly 80% of the German aircraft downed by the RAF.
