He's 91-years-old and was last in a Spitfire when it came down behind enemy lines during the Second World War. Jimmy Taylor flew with 16 Squadron as a strategic reconnissance pilot but in 1944 he was captured by the Gestapo. 69-years later and he's been at Goodwood aerodrome in West Sussex to fly a Spitfire once again.

Spitfire MK XVI - First Engine Run in 17 Years!

The Supermarine Spitfire is such an Iconic aircraft and it's not only always great to see them flying but to see original Spitfire pilot Jimmy Taylor take to the skies again at the age of 91 is a treat.
