The pilot of the Spitfire on that clip is New Zealand-born Ray Hanna. Ray was widely acknowledged as the best-ever Spitfire pilot. He recently died.

Yes - a great loss to the aviation community - I read an article recently about the filming of this clip, and he was saying how he wanted to get as low as he possibly could, to scare the crap out of the reporter :rofl:
