Two British pilots have taken to the skies on a first-ever attempt to fly a Spitfire around the world. Its incredible journey is designed around fuel stops and takes in countries including Greenland, Canada and the US, before continuing on to the Far East and the Gulf region. It will eventually return to Europe for the last leg of the challenge. A glitzy event was held for the departure attended by celebrities including Gone Girl actor Rosamund Pike, Rocketman star Taron Egerton and Formula One driver David Coulthard.
