This is a classic , full length filmed in 1942. There's some good footage of 501 spits towards the end.

You're in for a treat Jammy, it's a great film...

I must go up to the skies again, to the peace of silent flight, To the gull’s way, and the hawk’s way, and the free wings’ delight;
And all I ask is a friendly joke with a laughing fellow rover, And a large beer, and a deep sleep, when the long flight’s over.

Great film! As an interesting aside, one of the stars of the film Leslie Howard was killed by Luftwaffe JU88's over the Bay of Biscay whilst travelling on a civilian airliner in 1943.
