Ahh fond memories of the rush hour in those days.

These are obviously the VSTOL version; not having enough room to use the full potential of the floating runway!

maybe an early use of the pogo catapult launch system

I love these old pictures. Especially such rare shots of the naval VTOL version of the Spitfire.

The untold history of RAF Luton, buried for so long due to cold war fears of giving away the massive technological superiority the RAF had over even itself. Nice to see them being declassified. Innovators so far ahead of their time most believed they even invented time travel.

I’ve seen footage of the mass takeoff from those runway boats, awesome sight

It’s brilliant isn’t it. I like the way that the run way is spring loaded and it fires all the spitfires up in the air at once, they just fly off with their bombs and stuff like it’s nothing

Photo evidence that Time travel does exist. P51 Mustangs in the Battle of Britain. Who knew?
