And yes I know that's not a Spitfire. But anything that can go mach 3.. Damn.
There's a great story about a blackbird pilot playing a game of one upmanship with other pilots who are talking to air traffic control, each one broadcast's their speed over land, one after the other with increasing speed until the blackbird pilot broadcast's his!

Don't know if it's a true story, but it was funny.

I'll see if I can find it
