Wonder which model that was...

There once was another great old documentary on Youtube, that was done in a similar manner, that used the Shuttleworth Collection's Mk.V. It was documented through the pilot's point of view, narrated by the pilot, including how he went about displaying the aircraft at Old Warden. It even discussed landing the aircraft at the slowest possible speed - to allow the shortest landing distance - in which after the display was over, he would conduct a dirty stall to know the stall speed at that time, before he came back into the airport airspace to land. If anyone happens to know if that video is still around on the internet, it would be worthwhile to post, and I would love to see it again!

Spitfire in this video is the famous Mk.IX MH434.
