    Never thought I'd ever see 18 Spitfires in the air together. One has to admire and express gratitude to the 18 to 20 year olds that flew them into battle all those decades ago, many of whom never came back. One must also pay tribute to the Engineers, Draughtsmen and Draughtswomen, Toolmakers, Fitters and Turners, Sheet Metal Workers, Assembly and Test Workers, Ferry Pilots and Airbase Ground Crew who made it all possible.

    Now that’s what I call concentration. Each pilot must feel a great sense of relief after doing that. Peter was adjusting the joystick, throttle and I assume rudder bar constantly throughout the flight. I’m a Cessna pilot but I think that should be “driver”. These are real pilots.

    • @iansandon9292
      @iansandon9292 4 года назад

      You would be doing just the same corrections in a formation of Cessna 152s, the manoeuvres would be a bit more sedate but just the same actions (excepting the simpler systems)....ps; the rudders are not just footrests:)

    I recently bought the Spitfire mk IX in the DCS PC simulator. For such a simple-looking single prop aircraft, it surprised my how much there is to do before even getting it airborne. Then once in the air, there is a lot to do to maintain the engine along the way. But it's equally satisfying. The boys who flew this in WW2 had to do all this, along with operating a machine gun and cannons, keeping to a flight plan, watching out for enemy aircraft, avoiding possible ground anti-aircraft installations... all this with very often just a few weeks of training!

    Superb formation flying, constantly feathering the throttle and controls to maintain position. Must take real concentration, makes you appreciate why wartime pilots hated flying in formation when you see interviews. I was lucky enough to fly in a TR-9 (2 seater Mk9) out of Goodwood a couple of years ago, such an amazing experience. The Merlin is really bloody loud in the cockpit! but such a wonderfully smooth flight, like a hot knife through butter.

      @@stephenjnolan Indeed.. from the outside you hear the exhaust note, from the inside you can hear the valves and tappets... to be honest, sounds a bit like a tractor ;) not a lot of people know that ;) I remember your beautifully edited video Stephen.. I have a video too, but never got around to editing it, as it was shot on a 360 degree camera mounted in front of me, so you can look around the inside of the cockpit and out of both sides (via a viewer which you can put your phone in while watching the video.. doesn´t seem to translate well to a standard video though, very strange. ) would love to do a similar edit as you did.. any tips welcome :)

    • @stephenjnolan
      @stephenjnolan 4 года назад +1

      I was very lucky with my Goodwood video. I spoke at length before the flight to Andy Annable the guy in charge of the video editing etc. I told him that MY job entails lots of video editing and that it’s what I do too. I asked if he could simply supply me with the raw footage and I’ll do my own, save him any messing. He agreed and I took it all home with me. Phew ! Bet they wouldn’t do that now.
      I used Sony Vegas to do the editing, simple and straightforward if you’re in to editing. Never worked with 360 stuff so I’m unsure what to say to you regarding any help. Sorry about that. I’m hoping to do another flight next year, then I can put my spitfire obsession away for a while. Intending to go up in ML407 Grace Spitfire. Thanks.

      @@stephenjnolan Hi Stephen, I´ve never really done much video editing so was hoping the (rather expensive) video I was sent would be edited, but it´s just raw footage. I was hoping to do split screen video as you have in yours. And of course take out the first 10 mins or so which was just taxiing out to the runway. I shall have to have another look at it. Or maybe get it done professionally.
      Did you see the documentary featuring the Grace Spitfire, called "Spitfire ace; first of the few"? ( I believe it´s a 4 or 5 part series) about the basic training given to WW2 pilots, featuring interviews with surviving pilots? very inspiring stuff. (I´ve attached a link below)
      Good luck with that! Caroline Grace seems like a charming lady, i´m sure you´ll have a fantastic experience if she´s piloting for you :)

    In about 1996 or 97 there was a group of spitfires that came to the airshow at Scottsdale airport. They were awesome to watch as the flew their exhibition. They also had rides in a Cessna. The flights were very very short, about enough time to take off, climb to 1000 feet and return in a loop. They had three or four cessnas giving these rides. My wife and I took a ride and as we turned back to the runway to land one of the Spitfires took off and flew past us. It looked great in the air! I just wish I had a camera at the time.

    I've been flying the Spit in DCS for a bit now and it's amazing to see what a good job they did capturing the flight dynamics and sound - even the sound of the prop governor catching up with changes in engine power. Formation flying is also a huge pain in the arse, can't switch off for a second or you're banging wings with the leader. Must have been annoying as hell in combat trying to look for bogies and not crash.
