Spitfire - loop the loop?
Discussion
I've seen a few where I live (border of Kent/Essex near the river), unsure where they fly from but their clearly part of some experience package as you often see them up with another aircraft catching shots of them. Very cool, as another poster said the sound of them is so distinctive.
I looked into the prices of the various flights you can do, too rich for my passing curiosity but not out of the realms of possibility for those who are really into that sort of thing.

Closet I've got has been a Tiger Moth flight from Duxford; it was great fun though a little draughty.
On another visit an old chap was up in a two-seat Spitfire that taxied to a halt near us and his excited family who had paid for his flight. It took 20 minutes to get the canopy open to extract him by which time he was rather hot and extremely bothered.

"Aerobatics" is actually what is called a portmanteau word - being a combination of "aerial" and "acrobatics".
I don't get too fussed if people refer to aerobatics as acrobatics as the words are linked.
Thy anorak slippeth old chap! I don't get too fussed if people refer to aerobatics as acrobatics as the words are linked.
