Very cool ,thanks. Huge fan here...I have a lot of memorabilia from Polesti,,,my uncle somehow survived every Polesti mission he was on.
What AM R/T set did they use in WW2?
18 dubliners
.,
Absolutely gorgeous plane,i get goosebumps just hearing engine turn over,thanks for sharing the video!
Oh ya ! From NAS Saufley field 1964 - 68 I can still smell the oil from those starts...... I was a mech. Working 200 + T-34 B 6 cyl opposed a/c .... Those were the days my friends 🙄. VT- 1. & VT- 5. VT- 5 flew T- 28. Oh the stories
THANK YOU FOR NOT PLAYING MUSIC!
So many of these videos are ruined by cheesy music. The sound of the old war birds, radial or V engine, is music we don't get to hear anymore. Thank you again for reminding us what we are missing.
Amen brother.
YES
im never here for stupid music unless im here for music
The engines ARE the music ... at least to ppl with taste for those old birds.

My father flew spitfires in the RAF in Italy, Sicily and North Africa. The most beautiful machine ever made.
Except Messerschmitt Bf 109
Thank your father for his service
@@claudiosikler9493 bf109 was cool but didn't fare well again the spitfire, look at the battle of Britain
@@claudiosikler9493 or the hurricane? In the shadow of the spit and the schmitt?
Great planes all. I also love the look of the F4U - The Corsair. British pilots took it and taught the US how to make effective carrier landings. The cant of the high nose caused by the large propeller sweep caused issues for US pilots at first but we learned from our British cousins how to make a safe sweeping carrier approach instead of just straight in.
As an American I love our P-51D's But the Spitfire is a legend because of what it and the Hurricane did. I'm one American that knows those planes and their pilots saved all our collective asses in the summer of 1940. Thank You Great Britain.
Thank you for your kind remarks. and regardless of which nation of any of those involved in that great conflict were from they were all as equally as brave as the others and worked as one to topple the foe, and I give my thanks to each and every one of them.
and these days the Brits forget it was 303 Polish squadron that had the most kills in the Battle of Britain when they now vote to kick em out of the UK. Less we forget.
@@Optikification You utter lying moron. Why peddle Remainer crap on a Thread that is about a WWII fighter?
1. We, unlike the rest of Europe which is happy to re-write history, NEVER EVER forget what the Polish airmen did in 1940. Just like we never forget what Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, South African and Caribbean airmen did with us. Indeed they are commemorated in various memorials around the country and every year at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.
2. To say they "had the most kills in the Battle of Britain" is an insult to every other pilot engaged in that combat and all the rest. Every damn one was a hero....
3. And now let me lay your lie for what it is. We in the UK voted to leave the political ponzie scheme that is the EU. We never voted for, nor have we ever said we would, 'kick' anyone out. Indeed I would remind you it was the EU that stuck to NOT agreeing to make both EU and UK citizens future's safe and used them as political chess pieces. The UK has never said anything other than migrants here are welcome to stay regardless of where they come from. Unlike the EU on British migrants in the EU
Remainers make me bloody puke with their lies and false information just because they lost the vote.
Optikification thats because back then they were different
crorivpro thanks for this very much appreciated comment . Most of the comments from America say that if it weren’t for you we’d all be talking German, which is a laugh coz most of Americans come from English stock anyway. Superb English engineering saved the world from speaking German. Full stop.
Younger generations have no idea what a piston powered plane sounds like. A truly impressive plane with a truly impressive engine flown by a truly impressive pilot. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for watching and commenting! More videos of this and other Spitfire's you can watch on my Warbirds playlist: ruclips.net/p/PL_kDcX2_3upoq5qHhsAxNXMiIuSCtOl_V
Sounds almost exactly like the video. Crazy huh?
Sorry for my words but you might be wrong, sir. Not all younger gens since there're numbers like me who do know and loves some WW2 fighters. Modern fighter jets are cool, sure it is, but there are some distinct charm in classic planes which is really hard to explain...
Or maybe I just loves vintage and classic stuffs.
35 years as an aircraft mechanic and I still love these old warbirds!
It may not be as iconic as the Merlin, but the Rolls Royce Griffon is still one of the best sounding aircraft engines out there.
Seeing a Griffon Spitfire fly by you in person must be such an unforgettable experience. I don't know if I'm the only one but I find that five-bladed propeller just so charming.
I built a Spit model in 1949. I was a Londoner at 15 years old, living close to Hendon and the airfield, now the RAF museum there. I'm now 89 and have the 24 inch balsa model hanging in my workshop, needing new paper covering. Thanks for a fine video, and it prompts me to think of restoring the model!

3:36 Possibly the most evocative sight in aviation: the shape of the Spitfire wing.
Alongside the Junkers Ju 87
@@raccoonmoustache
The Ju 87 looks slow and clumsy next to the very graceful Spitfire.
@@barrierodliffe4155 I mean I don’t want to be speeding into the ground when I’m dive bombing so I’d say that stukas design is very good for its role
A6M Zero had a very similar planform--generous wing area.
@@raccoonmoustache Let me think... I see a Stuka coming toward me, so I walk to the nearest shelter (let's face it they were slow) - I see a Spitfire coming toward me and I fly as fast as I possibly can AWAY from it! And yes, yes, I get the wing shape thing, but seriously, who IN THEIR RIGHT MIND would fly toward one? Granted, the Germans did, but nobody accused them (at that time) of being in their right minds 😀
The sound it makes when flying past is just friggin awesome.
Who needs a sound track when you have this?
What an absolutely breath taking machine. The colours, the shape the sound... pure beauty
The Mustang and Spitfire were just absolutely beautiful airframes. Beautiful and Beastly. Our allied Pilots were just so good and given their planes they were as formidable as it got in their day.
What a gorgeous plane! This and the P-51 are such iconic planes. Some many WW2 planes were just amazing machines for the time. I'm happy some have been preserved. That was Americas finest period in my opinion.
The P-51 has nothing on this one
Finest period in British history too. We'll never see a generation like them🇬🇧🇺🇸
Every time i watch this airplane my feelings gets out of control - just so beautiful and magnificent - absolutely one of the finest airkrafts from WW2 - stunning it is :-)
Oh god yes, same here. It almost makes me tear up.
Point taken. I love The Spitfire but I equally love the Hurricane as its performance is always overlooked and doesn't rec enough praise. The wooden workhorse. Could take more punishment than most metal structured places, repaired faster and back in the air faster. Ex RAF GUY
@@321fightson same actually, it's pure beauty to see these things fly. And without them we wouldn't have the world as we know it
You do not have to be British to love the beauty and symbolism of freedom embodied by the iconic Spitfire. Was she the best fighter of the war? Who cares! She stands as a testament to a courageous island nation that would never surrender in the face of tyranny. Greetings from America to our English brothers and sisters. May we always stand united for justice and liberty.
When I see and hear these videos, my mind soars free no matter where I am and I often get the chills. Keep up the good work !
Thank you! :)
Beautiful! When I think of the quintessential WW2 fighter aircraft, it’s the Supermarine Spitfire that comes to mind. The lines, the silhouette.... absolutely iconic! 👍
Gosh.. been watching the F22, F35, Typhoon Euro fighter jets.. but the classic fighter like the Spitfire always brings you back to raw awesome!
Just wonderful. Doesn't get any better. Classic silhouette, awesome RR Griffon.
This is my favorite WW2 fighter followed by the P51 Mustang gives me chills to think about the impact this plane had on the war.
Actually the mk XVIII missed the war. It was made in 1946, but took some action in the conflicts following the WW2.
Spitfire with the Merlin had impact, the Griffon not so much, kept home after the Battle of Britain.
Die urtypische Silhouette der Spitfire, wenn sie am Himmel zu sehen ist. Toll! Schön, dass es sowas heute noch gibt!
Wind-Noise with a Griffon in the background... Beautiful video, notwithstanding.
Great aircraft...
Great sound...
Great camerawork...
Thank you.
Absolutely stunning in full-screen mode.
I also used headphones for the best effect. Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up😨 GLORIOUS TUNE !!
As a kid my friend and I used to watch them take off and land at Swartkop air station in Pretoria. RSA after WW2.
I live near selsey on the south coast of England. Every sunny day a spitfire does loops high in the sky, it's beautiful! Even when I'm indoors I can hear the engine from miles away and instantly know that the spitfire is flying!
Being American and biased toward American aircraft I will say that Great Britain did a good job creating the Spitfire. Gorgeous airplane.
A griffon Spitfire climb to 55,000 feet over Hong Kong the highest recorded for a piston engine. Amazing aircraft that was develop and improved over six long years in WW2.
Poots MuhGoots more than just a good job. The best fighter to come out if ww2
The Mustang was only as good as its engine.
Vaughn Erhardt l
A 'good job'!! A bit of an understatement i think?☺
Spine tingling, I cannot begin to imagine how all these men who built this must have felt. What a remarkable plane this is
What a beauty!
That sleek profile - and the meaty Griffon engine, nearly bursting out of its casings!
Awesome video, as others have said thank goodness there was no cheesy music, just the sweet sound of a Rolls Royce V12. I went for a fly in a Spitfire at Biggin Hill a few months ago whilst in England, now that was the ultimate dream come true!
Steve Nelson I bet the engine sound in the plane is even more satisfying then from the outside
You lucky Devil ! I want to do that but it's around £3000 so got to save some more pennies, I often see the Biggin Hill Spit flying over the Thames towards Duxford or Dover, I was on the top of the QE2 bridge once and the Lancaster flew over the sound was amazing ! :-)
I live under the Biggin hill flight path. Last week THE Lancaster flew over flanked by two spitfires 😁
Beautiful Spitfire, a hero among heroes.
lovely video and the sound from that Griffon is Superb ! thanks for sharing
Stunning! Great video, just the engine sound and no naff music. Thank you.
Thanks for showing. Beautiful aircraft and a sterling pilot.
I love this particular spitfire variant. Just a beautiful plane.
By far the far the most beautiful plane ever built
I like its "ugly" cousin.
Fantastic video, thank you for posting!
37 litres of brutality (against "just" 27 for the Merlin).
RJ Mitchell who led the Spitfire design team always said, "if it looks right, it probably is right." The Spit, still looks right - even with an engine 1.37 bigger than ever intended.
I also love the Griffon pitch.
What a majestic airplane. Gives me goose bumps watching it fly.
One of the greatest sounds in the history of Aviation, pure genius
What a beauty , it sounds fantastic, just awesome to see!!!!
To all the brave airmen and airwomen of WWll , a heartfelt thank you. Yours was truly the greatest generation. The whole world is indebted to you. God bless.
That sound gets me every time, instant nostagia !
Simply amazing. What a masterpiece
Kyle Gallant f
In my opinion one of the most beautiful machines ever created
I agree
I hope,we always stand united together we are unbeatable
That is one awesome aircraft with an amazing sounding engine!
Great job of keeping the Spit in the camera frame. Really enhances the video.
I could watch this all day !
Amazing.
What a Beautiful Sight and sound, goosebumps or what,,,
Great video, wonderful sound! Well done! Thumbs up!!!
Thank you, my friend! :)
I played this video to my toddler little cousing and i couldn't believe how mesmerized he was with the noise and the plane.
I think i just made another aviation fan.
That's an absolutely beautiful machine!
Very nice video!!! Beautiful Spitfire.
Thanks! :)
I always smurk to myself seeing these older guys flying these vintage planes when in reality, the pilots who flew them were under 25. Great plane. Love that deep throaty sound.
Dave Dennis 25, or mostly quite a bit younger ....
and your point is ?
They sure tore up a bunch of them.
The older guys who are flying them are probably the same once 25 yo guys who flew them way back when!! You'll never get better than an "old" Spitty pilot.
Fantastic video..No music and NO big mouth on a loud PA system..Fantastic..
Awesome filming, thank you!
Great sound from a great fighter!
A throwback to the days when our Ancestors deserved to be called GREAT
Lovely sound and paint job X
What a sound! What a machine! I got to sit in one once when it stayed overnight in our hangar. What a thrill just to sit in that legendary aircraft.
German and British Aircraft are so damm beautiful, lets you really imagine the technological race for air superiority. Either improve or lose the war. Marvellous machines
Battle of Britain was won by the Hurricane, not the Spitfire.
I think you have omitted the P51 Mustang. Surely the greatest piston engine fighter of the second world war. Mind you, only great after we put a Merlin power plant in.
@@belmontbug exactly the heart of the p51 englands finest
@@azynkron Wrong, when the Spitfire arrived, it freed up the Hurricanes to attack the bombers whilst the Spit took on the 190's. With out the Spit, England would have been bombed into submission. And I know because my Grandfather fought in WW2 and my Grandmother raised my mother in London during the blitz.
@@BatMan-oe2gh well that's true but the hurricane is often the underdog when it comes to the battle of Britain and the overall air war in ww2. It shot down more enemy aircraft than the spitfire. I'm not saying that it's better than the spitfire (because it is isn't) but one should also give credit to the good old hurricane. Without either one the battle of Britain would have been lost.
Always liked the roar of the merlin, but its great to see a giffon doing its thing, a very nice piece of flying.
Awesome! You can't beat that! Just beautiful.
The two most beautiful aircraft ever made. The Spitfire and the Super Constellation.
FANTASTIC Video!!! No annoying music or commentator!!☺️👍.
What an excellent video. Excellent camera positioning and pointing, good focus and the sound quality was lovely. (Edited for spelling)
Thank you! :)
Absolutely wonderful! Thanks for keeping these old warbirds alive! Great video!
just change the engine. There's a mechanical digger working next door, sounds much sweeter.
This brought a tear to my eye. Truly wonderful.
When something looks good and sounds good, then you know it's going to be good. She is like a greyhound with wings. My late, great grandfather worked on servicing and repairing these flying works of art for Vader and the like and so I have a family based love and respect for what they are and what they helped achieve.
Beautiful machine. I imagined it flying over the POWs behind the fence telling them “you will be freed”!
Most brilliant plane! Awesome roar!
What a stunning sound! What a stunning aircraft!
The war birds of this era are so iconic, to see them flying is amazing.
What a beautiful design to be able to upgrade and produce to such a high level. Congratulations to the designers, manufacturers, owner and maintainers.
Great video! Beautiful plane
Oh the sheer joy of hearing these glorious engines, and not a silencer to be seen!
I m really crazy about old planes. The sound they make are music 👍
What a beautiful bird. A true Classy Classic.
Such a beautiful plane, its sound gives me goosebumps.
Bloody awesome,a must listen with headphones.
Great video and thank you for sharing 👍
Pretty pretty airplane that sounds beautiful as well.
It is always very special to witness a griffon engine firing up at close range. Very nice video!
Thank you very much, Adrian! :)
2wheels2strokes4ever like your avatar. SIC58
Those wingtips....SENSATIONAL!
Man this is impressive camera work for a flyover. Very very nice.
Avião maravilhoso!!! Obra de arte!!!
The Griffon always sounds more brutal than the sweet Merlin.
yep---Brutal was ok in War, not now though, M-E-R-L-I-N. every time.
To each their own. If I were sparring with 190's 'though, I might want the power of the RR Griffon.
its a very angry sound
it had a different cylinder firing order to the merlin. that why it sounds so different, more rough.
I wouldn't call the Merlin's sound sweet. It had a very distinctive exhaust note courtesy of an unusual firing order which caused early issues with the engine. I love the lazy ragged roll it gets from the rear, most classically during flybys.
The Griffon has a more normal firing order and to me sounds much like all the other V12 aircraft engines in the sky. After the war, the Shackletons were Griffin powered and the crews weren't so happy about it and described it as emitting a really annoying high pitched whine ( 4 engined piston aircraft, hard to synchronize all the engines so you are going to get beating but the whine was a whole other thing) unlike the Merlin powered Lincolns and Lancasters. Trouble is, I read about the whine a while ago and now can't remember where, so I can't confirm my unreliable memory.

WOW!
I love watching this stuff . GOD BLESS all of you who made this possible.
Nice bass sound, smooth running and 5 point prop.
Klasse eingefangen! Schön von jeder Seite zusehen im Flug und toller Klang der alten Maschine! Danke für´s zeigen und Daumen hoch von mir.
Vielen Dank für den netten Kommentar! :)
That's easy for you to say.
A great plane for sure flown by some brave Brits to keep us safe. Thumbs up from New Zealand.
Canadians , Ozzies , Kiwis , South Africans , Yanks, Czechs , Poles , ......................AND many other nationalities to a greater or lesser extent flew with the Brits. Kudos to them all .That is why we are free democracies today. No praise is too great .
Three of the top ten aces in the Battle of Britain were ANZACS
Peter Williamson The first RAF ace of WWII was a New Zealander........Cobber Kain.
ANZACS are Soldiers.
@@robhicklin2139 Two from New Zealand and one from Australia, five including the top 3 were British.
Great camera work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Check out my channel for more videos like this. :)
Pure music to my ears! Listening to the sounds emanating from that beautiful piece of machinery as it did the fly by was sensational. You have a like and a subscription from me!
Thank you, and welcome on my channel! :)
Beautiful aircraft, 100% functionally superb, and far better than any other plane of the time. Certainly one of the most meaningful engineering masterpieces of the 20th century, and a beauty to watch in flight.
Delano Freeberg Just perfect, in every way :-)
Almost as perfect as DH-98 ;-)
Piękny w locie i na ziemi. Szacunek dla właściciela . Cudowny . Gratulacje
Not just ANY aircraft ... THE aircraft! Brings back childhood memories of Duxford in the 70's ...
thanks for posting , freekikin awesome
