A Spitfire, I think, flying over the valley

I was about to jump in a bath this morning, when I heard a plane flying low over the house and across the valley. I thought about it and dismissed going to the window to see what it was. Quite soon after its distinctive noise returned and got louder, so I went to my study window.

A small single engine plane was flying south at right angles to the Golden Valley, a few hundred feet above the ground. By the time I'd seen where it was it seemed to be already disappearing, but then it turned sharply to the east and flew away down the line of the valley again. I grabbed my phone as it was all I could reach in a hurry, because by this time I definitely thought it looked like a Spitfire.

I managed to get two frames of which this is the best, before it sped out of my view behind trees. Now I see it on my screen I still think it is a Spitfire because of the iconic shape of its wings. When I was nearly a teenager we lived very close to former RAF airfield which had a grass runway where Tiger Moths would regularly fly right above the house. In those days it situated in the Green Belt on the outer fringe of suburbia in Surrey. In 1981 the airfield became the headquarters of the Maclaren Formula 1 Racing company.

Sometimes Spitfires would fly into and out of the airfield so I got to know what they looked like and the notable sound of their engines. This was only fifteen years or more after the end of the 2nd World War, so there were many more Spitfires flying. Now I sense they will fly very rarely, so on that basis I'm posting this as memento to those years and the bravery of the pilots who were so important during the war. It must have been about two to three miles away.
