Your complaining about a low flying spitfire?
We get them overheard quite often, it's great. Last week we had the red arrows going over several times as well as trio of a spitfire, hurricane and a lancaster bomber.
It's one of the few advantages of living near filton.

Enjoy it!..i live near filton airfield and there is a spit and a mustang based there...i love it when then do test flights because they usually route over my area, the last spit over my area did a high speed run followed by two loops..all okay by filton ATC.....nothing beats the sound of a Rolls Royce merlin/griffon engine.

You are complaining about a Spitfire? 
Seriously
Also while I'm at it; at the CAA (yes that's for trying to prosecute against something completely un-related, but I'm on a rolleye roll!)

Why would anyone complain about a low-flying Spitfire over their house, unless their family name was Goering or something?

There is a damn cloud over my place, looks to be under a thousand feet.
Who do I complain to about that?

In fairness to the OP, had something unfortunate happen with the Spitfire and it hurled into someones house, I'm sure we wouldnt be saying "cool".
But since that did not happen. Im gonna say...
You lucky bastich So lucky to see a Spitfire in action at such close proximity

Spitfires are fab, you can't not love that Merlin roar.
I understand the OP concern though. Manouvres like this carry real risk and it's pretty poor showing near / over a residential area at any height.
I was taught and taught others when performing aero's / intentionall stalling and PFL's ABCCD -
ie clear of
Airfields
Built up area's
Cloud
Controlled airspace
Danger area's

That, dear boy, is the greatest aircraft to ever grace the skies. I would pay good money for the same experience!

You lucky so and so, must be great to have heard and seen that. You should be happy. We have a chap who does aerobatics around where I live. Great to see that although he does it quite high up so most the time you just hear the different pitches of the prop at speed.

And boy would you feel your wallet getting heluva lot lighter if the spitfire just plouged into the side of your house
