British aviator Matt Jones (L) flies over the airfield, escorted by three other Spitfires based at Goodwood, after taking off in the restored World War II Silver Spitfire plane for a round-the-world flight attempt at Goodwood Aerodrome in Chichester, southeast England, on August 5, 2019. Two British aviators, Steve Brooks and Matt Jones, will take off on August 5, 2019 on a first-ever attempt to fly a Spitfire around the world, proclaiming the iconic fighter plane as a symbol of freedom. The restored plane fought in World War II but has been de-militarised, stripped of its guns and paintwork to reveal the shining, silvery metal underneath. (Photo by Adrian Dennis/AFP Photo)
