British pilots take off in restored Spitfire for a tour around the globe
Two British pilots will attempt to fly a newly restored original Spitfire around the globe for the first time.
They are expected to cover a distance of 43,000 kilometres and visit 30 countries.
The restored plane fought in WWII but has been de-militarised.
The plane was stripped of its military paintwork to reveal a silvery metal underneath.
“It’s the most majestic machine,” pilot Steve Brooks told AFP.
