This is CGI—we’re riding on the tail of a Spitfire Mk IX, with a few aileron issues still to be smoothed out, as it pursues a more realistically modelled V-1 from our side, featuring far more chaotic pulse-jet exhaust than previous animations. It’s worth noting that the later Griffon-engined Spitfires handled this scenario much better, but nothing quite matched the Sabre-engined Tempest Mk V. | SpitfireCGI
