Wow that is a cool video clip, great idea mounting the camera on the cannon, really different perspective.
Love the whole fuselage shot from around 3.37 so cool, also of interest the antenna wobbling at 1.12 and then again later in the clip, something you don't get to see much, maybe turbulance off the prop?

That's a different type of "Cannon Camera"...

ZK-NLJ was de-registered on 15 March 2021 as exported. It will take up registration N752TB when it arrives in the US.

It's marked in what I assume is a self-consistent scheme from No.341 Free French Squadron RAF, and you complain about that rather than the wings being unclipped?

You are quite correct, the wingtips are an add on also. Its just a shame, being one of the most original MkXVI, with its original Packard 266 motor and they ruin it with a bogus paint job of 1944.

It's a flyable Spitfire and it still looks good imho.
After all, the three Spitfires flying here in NZ have schemes that they did not originally wear in WWII and they also all took great.

Very true, however apart from the two seater which is a bitzer airframe, the other two are correct type for the paint scheme they are presented. TB252 is like having a mini and painting it to look like a Ferrari. TB252 was built in 1945, served the last few days of WW2, the history is known and proud, why paint it as an aircraft flying in late 1944.

Because the bloke who stumped up the money wanted a 1944 one and couldn't get one?

I always remember Spencer Flack's comment about his all-red Spitfire XIV: "When you own a Spitfire you can paint it any colour you like"
