For experienced pilots, crashes are rare. I have a few planes I built in 1990-1991, each with over 100 flights, and I know that A-10 was flying about 12 years ago, at least.

Is it a scale model or is it full size?

No it was a full sized aircraft bit with the clear background, short cut grass and low angle it does look model like. Nice to see you have a Spitfire down there.

Two different marks there I see.
The nose & cockpit look wrong in the first one - which probably means it's one of the later Griffin engine marks (probably also identified by the 5 blade prop which was only the later versions) I'd guess at a late Mk22 or Mk24 but I'm no expert.
The third shot looks much more like the Merlin powered Spitfires I normally see.
Yes.
There were two Spitfires at the show - a later one with 5 blade prop, and an earlier one with 4 blade prop. A bit of a display going on with a Fockwulf 190 but wasn't able to see both flying at once. Now who wouldn't give their left testicle to do aerobatics in a Spit !
Many other vintage planes including a beautifully restored Mosquito.
