Saw both a Spit and a Hurricane do high speed low level passes at an airshow when i was stationed in England......it was better than any of the flying I've seen done by modern jet fighters. The Spitfire is the most beautiful airplane ever designed and flown

Beautifully captured footage of a magnificent aircraft being flown by a pilot doing an excellent job of showing it to the audience. Along with a sound track worthy of the word Awesome! Many thanks PaddyPatrone
I`m lucky enough to live quite near a Airfield (Headcorn, Kent) where they have Spitfire flights and sometimes they fly over our house. I reconise the engine sound straight away and rush outside like a kid and the sight and sound makes the hairs on tthe back of my neck stand up. Its not just the sight and sound, but what it represents, the fight of good over evil. Wonderful, just wonderful.

Everytime i see a vid with old warbirds in them i wish i was born 70 years Before i was...BF 109 and Spitfires the most gorgeous planes still to this day, gives me chills everytime i hear those old V12 supercharged Engines..thx for the upload!
A breathtakingly beautiful visual and aural feast. Absolutely thrilling. I once got beaten up by a Spit as I was passing Duxford on the M11 but I sure wouldn't like to see one of those in MY rear-view mirror ! Cars stopped and I half expected him to "open up" ! Stunning. What we owe to this work of art is inestimable and we still thrill to it today..
The Velo In The Vale nah, without the US bombing in other places besides Normandy, the Soviet Union’s pressure, and the amount of Naval power( Mostly US).
My father told me his cousin was a spitfire pilot in the Royal Greek Airforce in World War 2, but sadly after the war he was killed in a car accident. I love the spit. It saved Britain, along with its brother the Hurricane.
Awesome vid thanks for posting. A few years back I witnessed a spitfire alongside a Canadian cf 18 hornet side by side, as the cf 18 split formation the lovely sound of the spits Merlin's were tremendous. The most enjoyable airshow I have been at so far, our Canadian cf 18 rejoined the spit for two more fly pasts , then as the spit circled away the Canadian demo pilot preformed a high speed pass .

What a sight! The mighty Spitfire! But total silence for all those young people who put their lives on the line and lost them. They died that my generation and my children's could grow up in Peace!
Awesome awesome...simply my passion since a child, and I'm 45 now. Best book, 'Sigh for a Merlin' by Alex Henshaw, or 'Spitfire on my Tail' by Uli Steinhilper... both excellent reads. Nothing sounds better than a Merlin 60 series...
waynester did you know that the majority of the merlins used in WWII were the 20 series ??? only 7,000 of the 20,000 $hitfires used them, NONE of the 7770 Lancaster used the 60 series merlins, they were all 20 series !!!
@@wilburfinnigan2142 Wilbut, did you know that you are an ignorant plonker. I make it 7,941 Spitfires fitted with the Merlin 61,63, 63a 64, 66, 70 and 71. Did you know that the best performing fighters in the war used the Rolls Royce Merlin or Griffon engines?
Fascinating. This is marked with RAF 312 Czechoslovak insignia and flag badge. It has the squadron letters of RAF 88 Squadron which my grandfather also served in after the war . This spitfire, TE184 spent most of it's RAF career flying post-war.
no, a speech from Winston Churchill actually "Never was so much owed by so many to so few" Sabaton's song is dedicated to the men from Poland, Czechoslovakia and Canada who came to the Isles to join the RAF to defend the isles from the Luftwaffe, and contains that quote from Winston's speech.
Actually the speech from Churchill on the 20th August 1940 included the quote, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few".
How brave these men were that flew these old warbirds. They never lose their beauty and they capture a time when the world did come together to fight evil. When I was a kid building modle air planes and watching old air combat movies was my thing and muscle cars. It's wierd because growing up in the mid 70s they played a lot of old war movies and black and white and not too many channels on the tube..so as a kid we watched TV together as a family and most of the movies were classics from the world war ll era. Thats were I fell in love with these warbirds from these old films. These warbirds captivate people to this day when they have air shows on memorial days.
Seth,I paid a lot of money to go up in one ( 1943 model ) .I was up 30 mins and pilot did 3 rolls.The most fantastic part of all .I got to take the controls for near 5 mins and flew it in a gradual dive and a bank to the right .Something I have dreamed of for years. Can't stop thinking about the experience.

@Jeffrey Hinkel why tho
* P51 mustang enters the chat * what you guys talkin about ....
What a sight! The mighty Spitfire! But total silence for all those young people who put their lives on the line and lost them. They died that my generation and my children's could grow up in Peace!
Fantastic video. Thank you for posting.
Awesome awesome...simply my passion since a child, and I'm 45 now. Best book, 'Sigh for a Merlin' by Alex Henshaw, or 'Spitfire on my Tail' by Uli Steinhilper... both excellent reads. Nothing sounds better than a Merlin 60 series...
waynester did you know that the majority of the merlins used in WWII were the 20 series ??? only 7,000 of the 20,000 $hitfires used them, NONE of the 7770 Lancaster used the 60 series merlins, they were all 20 series !!!
@@wilburfinnigan2142 Wilbut, did you know that you are an ignorant plonker. I make it 7,941 Spitfires fitted with the Merlin 61,63, 63a 64, 66, 70 and 71. Did you know that the best performing fighters in the war used the Rolls Royce Merlin or Griffon engines?
Fascinating. This is marked with RAF 312 Czechoslovak insignia and flag badge. It has the squadron letters of RAF 88 Squadron which my grandfather also served in after the war . This spitfire, TE184 spent most of it's RAF career flying post-war.
Beautiful Most MkXVI were late 1944 /45 construction end of the war !!!
Love the sound of a Spitfire reeving up its engine... it sound Heroism and Victory!!!
Love that Merlin song! Spitfire so sleek & powerful … hard to believe that’s an 80 year old plane
I was getting ready to find my fire extinguisher!
I love the sound
Just pure brilliant, best sounding and looking plane ever made !!❤❤
Epic.. the salute and victory roll never gets old...
Superb airplane, beatiful sound.
Even in 2019, that's some impressive engineering.
Awesome footage and sound!
A magnificent piece of engineering.
R. J. Mitchell never saw the destruction he brought to Luftwaffe to a beautiful plane my hats to him
Never was so much owed by so many to so few
Joel Brady Aces in Exile
no, a speech from Winston Churchill actually "Never was so much owed by so many to so few" Sabaton's song is dedicated to the men from Poland, Czechoslovakia and Canada who came to the Isles to join the RAF to defend the isles from the Luftwaffe, and contains that quote from Winston's speech.
Rory Duncan I know...
Actually the speech from Churchill on the 20th August 1940 included the quote, "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few".
JnCmanufacturing the bank of america and george bush's grandfather that was funding the nazis
How brave these men were that flew these old warbirds. They never lose their beauty and they capture a time when the world did come together to fight evil. When I was a kid building modle air planes and watching old air combat movies was my thing and muscle cars. It's wierd because growing up in the mid 70s they played a lot of old war movies and black and white and not too many channels on the tube..so as a kid we watched TV together as a family and most of the movies were classics from the world war ll era. Thats were I fell in love with these warbirds from these old films. These warbirds captivate people to this day when they have air shows on memorial days.
What an absolute beast 😎
I’ve had the privilege to see one up close in an aviation museum once
Seth,I paid a lot of money to go up in one ( 1943 model ) .I was up 30 mins and pilot did 3 rolls.The most fantastic part of all .I got to take the controls for near 5 mins and flew it in a gradual dive and a bank to the right .Something I have dreamed of for years. Can't stop thinking about the experience.
It is marking of No 312 (Czechoslovak) Squadron RAF. with motto NON MULTI SED MULTA.
Jiří Škopek Interesting
Very iconic it's called a spit fire and it spits fire
Beautiful spitfire!!!
My God what a beautiful plane!!! Thanks Paddy!!!
It is Czechoslovakia's spitfire and I am from the Czech Republic.
2500 of your countrymen joined the RAF during the war. We salute them
too bad there so much in love with gerries now...
Well , they said sorry , and promised they wouldn't try to take over Europe again ..........
ILike Zappa and not only that but in the 50s we all agreed to erase that huge debt of theirs... Idiots us... And now they're back!
Maybe you should make a trip to your Evil neighbours so you dont have to be Paranoid anymore :) Sorry for my bad English but i think you got the Message
This is how a WWII Warbird is supposed to be flown. Great Pilot.....FANTASTIC!!!!
We fly our R/C models the same.....
dont like to fly them hard though because they are old airplanes... especially t-6s and such as they have taken a lot of abuse
@@ethanhiggins4887
The Spitfire seems to love being flown hard, it is a strong well designed aircraft, the wings don't come off like some others.
@@barrierodliffe4155 imagine anyone trying to dogfight in a Blackburn firebrand
@@tripwire3992
Do you know what the Blackburn Firebrand was designed to do? That is like saying imagine anyone trying to dogfight in a Grumman Avenger.
What a lovely sound!
These things are absolutely tiny inside, so narrow with little space. They were built for 18 year old boys, innocent lads. All they had was a tiny makeup style circular mirror to see behind. Incredible.
In a Spit or a Mustang, NOTHING sounds as sweet as a RR Merlin at full song!!
If you like this you'll love the Griffon.
nathanfugate NO production Merlin Mustang used a RR Built Merlin ALL were made by PACKARD in AMERICA !!!!
@@wilburfinnigan2142 Who cares Wilbut, they were designed and developed by Rolls Royce, Packard was paid to make them and it took Rolls Royce to put real Merlin engines in a few P 51's to show it could be done.
The sweet sound of a spit fire any one else in the US going to sun ‘n’ fun 2019?
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Fantastic sound!
Might just be the sexiest noise a man made thing has ever made!
Check the Vulcan 👍
@@Adam-gq7gk not as good imo
