You know, I think seeing this video is almost better than actually being there. The quality of the filming is superb. I was there and thank you for such lovely films.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! Apart from being my all time favourite ww ll prop driven aircraft. She sounds ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! As far as being airworthiness is concerned YES! These fantastic aircraft can cost a absolute fortune to maintain. & That's why when their are these FANTASTIC airshows to sell things to help finance to help towards the cost of maintainance of these aircraft.
Beautiful restoration! How about a 12 cylinder Merlin at speed ringtone? Lol I'd even settle for P-51 Mustang flyby with it's 12 cylinder Rolls Royce speaking with authority.
Threres a video on youtube with many of these amazing planes dive bombing and pulling out maybe 200 feet from the camer. The sound, jesus just the thought of hearing that in war time really chilling. ima have to go find that video
My father was a tank commander in the New Zealand Division in Italy, 1944/45, and told me about the times that he saw Spitfires dive bombing. By the the time four or five had made their runs the Ack-Ack was starting to get the range and the last few Spitfires were the ones that were most likely to get shot down.
Have a look at this: ruclips.net/video/JptY35hkc-w/видео.html In close formation displays like this, the aircraft with the superior performance takes the rear position so as to accurately match the lead aircraft.
Same engine but the roles are pretty different, the P-51 is a long range escort fighter while the Spitfire is a close range air superiority fighter, the P-51 has about more than double the range of the Spitfire for example.
@@philipmarwood265 The Spitfire in this video? Sorry, but it's a Mark IX, with a Merlin. From the Mark XII on, the Spitfires had Griffon motors. The exception was the Mark XVI, which was effectively a Mark IX with a Packard Merlin.
In reality you're actually referring to the instructor's cockpit, but I do agree that it spoils the looks a little. I suppose it's because the Spit is so perfect that one minor change such as that detracts from the overall beauty...
How much longer will the old surviving warbirds remain airworthy? Maintenance and operating costs have to be ungodly! I imagine all the engines have been de-tuned to run on currently available gasoline, or severely limited on manifold pressure.
I think they only use about 15 to 20 % of the available power to reduce stress on the engine and the airframe. No voilent maneuvers or dogfighting :), just a nice clean low-stress display. In wartime the engines were expected to last about 35 to 40 flying hours under patrol and surely combat condition. Add to that most of these airframes have had extensive non-wartime rebuilds, which meant they are in better shape the they ever were, and they are serviced with much better and longlasting equipment then they had available.
@@stefesselens8839 Merlin 500 HRS BEFORE oVERHAUL and that was normal. However if the pilot had thrown the throttle through the gate that changed the parameters
VERY NICE AND GOOD CAMERAWORK BUT---TAKE A LOOK AT --''THE SPIRIT OF KENT''. THE--MOST AMAZING DISPLAY OF ATTACK AND ANGER , EVER RECORDED IN PEACETIME. FANTASTIC GROWL AND WHISTLE OF THAT ENGINE--WONDERFUL.
He likely kept positive G on throughout all the manoeuvring to preserve the airframe. It's quite likely that this engine is fitted with what they referred to at the time as an 'injector carburetor', what we all now call 'single point fuel injection'. If so, he could have pushed negative G without the engine cutting out... Many Merlins started using injection type carbs not long after the Battle of Britain, and so the 'negative G flaw' was in actual fact quite short lived. People always talk of the German use of 'direct injection' as being superior to the Brits and Americans use of carburetors and injector carburetors, which is not quite true. For the Germans the only real advantage was early on up until the end of the Battle of Britain, regarding their ability to not lose power under negative Gs. However this was rectified by the advent of the injection carburetor. Also the Germans took a large sacrifice using direct injection resulting in the fuel/air mixture entering the cylinders being some 15°C higher than what was being done within the Merlin and other engines. This in part ment that the 'boosted' fuel/air mixture entering the Merlin's cylinders could be more dense, thus developing more power per specific volume... Consider that during the Battle of Britain, the Merlin, of 27 litres capacity running on 100 octane fuel imported from the USA was more powerful than than the daimler-benz 601 of some 33.9 litres!
@@julianneale6128 The injection carburetor came later, by the Battle of Britain the negative G problem had been improved and completely solved in 1941, also Britain had enough 100 octane fuel in stock for fighter command for the whole of 1940, US supplies came later.

You filmed it fantastically ! I know how hard it is. You made it perfect !!
11/10 camera work, the propeller spinning reminds me of the griffon variants because of the fps
The most beautiful aircraft to ever grace the skies.. 👍 Thanks for posting this..
Absolutely fantastic video! Pure visuals, pure sounds, no announcer. Great work; want more!
Outstanding flying, and example of the Merlin engine and the beautiful elliptical wing. Cheers!
Very well filmed! Beautiful!
superb image quality, arguably some of the best aerial footage I´ve ever seen
«No sheep were harmed in the making of this video.»
I think that's the first time I've seen a two-seat Spitfire aerobatted. Great work on the video!
A very impressive production with some great sound. Well done

It's a pleasure - but always nice to be there!
Great camera skills! Well done and thank you for sharing
Glorious machine. Thank you so much!
Sublime , thankyou. Lovely to see the spit in its element and in the hands of a pilot obviously
At one with the machine
Nice to see your skills at an airshow!
Beautiful plane and a beautiful flight
perfectly filmed! Well done, I enjoyed it a lot!
soooooooooo incredibly graceful !!

excellent camera work - dont think ive seen better
Sure not to mention the flying!
Yep! Seriously top class camera work.
Very nice, Love those Merlins!
Goosebumps... great photography
Great video there flugsnug especially seeing the spitfire Doing The stunts like this
Amazing job mate!
Mr Snug, again you rock sir!
Great tribute to all the RAF hero’s of WW2

beautiful
Verdadeiro balé nos céus...shoooow de bola!!!!!!!!Ficaria uma hora,sem perceber o tempo passar,vislumbrando essa arte!!!!
Is there a more beautiful sound than Merlin doing it's job 😊😊😊😊
If this sound doesn’t give you a planegasm then I don’t know where things are
Una maravilla...espectacular..

search --- 16 spitfires flying together, the sound of victory "goosebumps" --- skip to 1:53 stupid youtube wont let me paste anything

Brits made a lot of weird looking planes but this one to me is gorgeous.
Gives you goosebumps when you see one doing this in person il never forget the sight best sight in my life. Imagine loads doing it in ww2
great sound
This Spitfire sounds and 4-point rolls like P-51 Mustang
Awesome
what they should do is put a P51 up there as well just to show how good the Spitfire was

The student cockpit does spoil it a little bit, but still, beautiful aircraft doing beautiful things.

Merlin-powered Spitfire
TOO short, I was just getting into that.
Good camera work though. 10/10
NICE. A bit a frame hunting sometime but I guess you were shooting with a tele lens ? Did you shoot with a tripod ?
The fascist in Spain , Italy and Germany were flogged by the spirit of the Britain and here Allies . Hail the mighty spit
Wow......an ace aeroplane designed where i live in stoke on trent by reginald mitchell
the only good thing to come out of stoke lmao
Красавчик.
Please post the rest
I'll probably post some at least :)
how good were they by modern terms? People are still flying mustangs. Is that the case with these too?
Yes.
What a fantastic video! Which 📷 did you use?
Thank you, and gh5s at this show
Merlin engine
How much longer will the old surviving warbirds remain airworthy? Maintenance and operating costs have to be ungodly! I imagine all the engines have been de-tuned to run on currently available gasoline, or severely limited on manifold pressure.

According to the RR book written by Alec Harvey-Bailey (The Merlin In Perspective - The Combat Years) the Merlins would easily reach 300 hours.

I wonder if that Merlin has a direct fuel injection system that the Mk-1 didn't have?
think fuel injection started with the griffon

It's quite likely that this engine is fitted with what they referred to at the time as an 'injector carburetor', what we all now call 'single point fuel injection'.
