article: He is the Prince of derring-do, flying in an Apache helicopter in Afghanistan and braving sub-zero temperatures to trek across frozen wastes to the South Pole. Now Prince Harry has been filmed revelling in a daring new adventure – a stomach-churning flight in a Spitfire. Buckingham Palace released video of the 30-year-old enjoying his flight ahead of his arrival in Australia tomorrow, where he will begin a month-long attachment with the Australian Defence Force. Scroll down for video . Flying in formation: Prince Harry, pictured in the back of the foreground aircraft, took to the skies after meeting with Armed Forces veterans . Thrilling: Footage released today shows Prince Harry howling with excitement as the Spitfire performs a loop over the English Cennel . He will also visit the War Memorial and lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, both in Canberra. Harry, who is leaving the Army in June, relished his adrenaline-charged 250mph Spitfire ride from Goodwood to the Isle of Wight. The flight – which included two Spitfires – was staged to support the Royal Foundation’s Endeavour Fund and a new Spitfire training scholarship for wounded servicemen. The brief journey included a ‘half Cuban’ manoeuvre – a semi loop in mid-air – after which Harry can be heard to shout: ‘I’d love to see what my face looked like doing that.’ Breathtaking: Prince Harry, seated in the back of the cockpit, soars past the British coastline in a Spitfire during a sortie last August . Crew: Prince Harry, seated, second from right, with Chris Hadlow, seated left, Steve Boultbee Brooks, second from left, and Phil O'Dell, right. The royal met with Corporal Alan Robinson, standing left, and Nathan Forster, standing right, who won scholarship places . Flight instructor Phil O’Dell, who was with the Prince during his training session, said the 30-minute journey had been ‘amazing’. ‘The aircraft has dual control and Harry flew it briefly. He was remarkably down-to-earth, very likeable and I could tell he’s a competent pilot.’ A spokesman for Boultbee Flight Academy added: ‘It’s a hard aircraft to fly.’ Praising Mr O’Dell, Harry said: ‘My first landing in a Spitfire – it was quite good!’ This Spitfire is the same aircraft that will fly the lucky winner of The Mail on Sunday competition on a 20- to 30-minute flight over the English Channel – worth £2,750 – later this year. Two thumbs up: The former Apache Helicopter Commander looked relaxed as he took part in the sortie alongside instructor Phil O'Dell . Success: Touching down after the flight, the royal gives a thumbs up and smiles out the window as he says the landing felt 'quite good' Handing over control: The prince enjoyed flying the plane before instructor Phil O'Dell took charge and guided the plane into a loop . Support: The veterans' scholarship was supported Endeavour Fund, which Harry set up alongside his the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge .

A rare cigarette case that once belonged to the designer of the Spitfire fighter aircraft has been anonymously returned to the museum it was stolen from last month. The valuable artefact was posted back to Solent Sky Museum in Southampton, Hampshire, in a jiffy bag with the address scribbled on with Tip-ex. The museum was burgled on March 8 and the case, which belonged to Reginald Joseph Mitchell, was amongst the items stolen. His 'RJM' initials are engraved on the outer case and it was donated to the museum by pilot Jeffrey Quill, one of the foremost Spitfire test pilots and a close friend of Mitchell's. Returned: The cigarette case, engraved with the initials of spitfire designer Reginald Joseph Mitchell, was sent back in a jiffy bag .
