Spitfire LOW Flypast!

[csonicp]

Thank you very much everyone for getting this video to over 100,000 views. I never guessed that it would become so popular for such an unplanned piece of filming! :-D

[GjVj]

Without a doubt, the best 21 seconds on YouTube. :)

[3895phil]

love the roll on the way up

[cadetsmith1]

Love It!!! I just can't get over the sound of that Merlin. :D

[neworder84]

what a great sound

[MichalSzymanski98]

One of the things I want most in life is one of these, preferably a Mk. V or IX, just the thought of flying the Spitfire sends chills through me. I at least want to sit in one of these before I die...

If any of you have Microsoft Flight Simulator X, I HIGHLY recommend getting the RealAir Spitfire, it's incredible, the only inaccuracy is the fact that there's only 1 starting button instead of 2 (because you can't push 2 at the same time with the mouse).

[Humlehejren]

Aw man... Love it!

[kiereemon]

I wish I was born into this era of aircraft

[Regret696]

DO A BARREL ROLL!

[JAH9495]

Amazingg video :) 1000000/10 Thanks for the upload !

[csonicp]

@JAH9495 You're very welcome and thank you very much for your comment. :-)

[gspete1340]

CRACKING!! :O)

[Newexpat2010]

Nothing beats that sound - what a fantastic piece of British engineering! Long may they continue to fly those beautiful machines.

[Hanglands]

Yep thats a Spitty, and its pretty damned low alright. 5*/thumbs up or whatever it is nowadays.

[Grahampk73]

The sound of a merlin engine with the beautiful shape of spitfire ..now thats British for you..fantastic. Beats any sound on Britain's got talent or x-factor rubbish

[redrider1za]

Woah - what a cracking bit of film!

[ooogaboooga172]

that merlin gives me goosebumps everytime!

[hedleyclive]

There are two aircraft in this clip, one of which is obviously a Hurricane, in fact it is the main aircraft featured & is the one doing the really low passes. You folks need to go to Specsavers....

[msa17ncfc]

@hedleyclive what are you on about mate. there is only 1 plane in this clip which clearly is a spitfire. hurricanes have a raised canopy n look at the side markings..black n white stripes which i believe is spitfire mk19..us folks need to go to specsavers..err your seeing planes not there and cant tell the difference. think again son

[moyadapne]

@msa17ncfc He obv did wot I did and got here after watching a y/t vid of two planes flying over some cliffs. One was a Spit, and one was a Hurri. My old man flew Spits.

[GjVj]

Brilliant clip, and... the sound..! Amazing.

Thank you.

[TYREL2010]

NICE

[taineplane]

hey guyes

[thex2thaz]

And thats how saving private ryan was made....

[tommyeflight89]

I dont get it? I do not remember seeing a Spit in the movie..

[JVC7400]

it is my freind

[thex2thaz]

>.> I know! Dont you think it would be a bit obvious considering they even said it in the movie. I was saying that this is what the plane did.

[AlHillATC]

Oh, and that was totally obvious...

[JVC7400]

this is a spitfire look at the wings at 0:06 - 0_07

[laservader1]

@AlHillATC thats not a p-51

[AlHillATC]

@laservader1 jesus christ I know! I was replying to something the poster has now deleted.

[UnCanadienFrancais]

you're so wrong men !

[teddybeareleventeen]

The most beautiful sound ever created by man!

[jeepdude770]

actually a fart is

[Urinecakes666]

God i love spitfighters! 5/5 stars!

[Benn859]

LOL -> "ROLF"

Thanks you made me ROFL!!!

[2bn442RCT]

EXCELLENT 5/5 Stars!

[csonicp]

Thank you, I have of course accepted you friend request. Brilliant channel! :-)

[TheBrassHole]

God bless the UK! I love watching old footage of the Spitfires in action. :)

[STOPTHEEU]

Rule Britannia!

[666madd]

WOW

[breebw]

low pass with victory roll....against rules in WW2 and pilot may have been repirmanded! But they did it anyway.

[laservader1]

lucky pilot!

[AussieSteve001]

What a beautiful sounding aircraft. A blast from the past.

[csonicp]

Thanks for all of your feedback so far. I didn't expect this off-the-cuff piece of filming to become so popular with almost 25,000 views! :-D

[TheUploader1]

Wonderful!!Beautiful!!!

[buttsyrc8]

Probably the greatest aircraft ever made!

Pure class is a pity was a war machine and many great pilots from all countries died in them.

When you see it in the flesh is a stunning thing.

That RR Merlin is fantastic.

[grantg3]

gotta agree with you there from a engineering point of view one of the finest aircraft ever made

[maidmoira]

wow would hae loved to seethe landing, puke and all, no but realllly, I want a chance pulease,wow what a way to command the sky

[Acousticrichard]

This is a guy called Major Day, flying out of a small strip in Lincolnshire, England, called East Kirkby unless I am very much mistaken. This guy can hide a Spit behind a hedgerow... and do things with it Mitchell wasn't even sure were possible when he designed it. As for who thought this was a hurricane... shame on you!

[thewwiiguy]

makes we want to move there just to see him fly!! i love these plans...

[csonicp]

Thanks for your brilliant comment, absolutely spot on! :-)

[Lancaster630]

because as we all know the Hurricane was a finer aircraft in combat, I really urge people to visit East Kirkby it really is an experience to remember

[jsm666]

@Acousticrichard One of those things, which I wouldn't dare try, was allegedly an out-of-control dive in a Met-modified Spit that tangled with a hurricane (the meteorological kind, not the Hawker kind). Initial reconstruction of the barometer records suggested a dive speed of M0.94, but alas it wasn't as fast as that when they eventually did the sums right. :( One wonders what would happen if you took the Spiteful wing off an Attacker and put the original elliptical planform on...

[planesfreek]

Airshow ?

[csonicp]

I filmed this just before Paul Day did the actual Spitfire display. I think he took some lucky (and obviously rather wealthy!) person out for a private flight beforehand... and WHAT a flight!

[Terrorizer321]

FAKE

[JulioSmoggio]

Bird of prey that's what it is.

[merlinmac]

Spit would leave the Hurricane standing in speed and climb

[th3b0untyhunter]

6 - 7 secs in watch it climb and roll and you can see the eliptical wing - def a spit.

oh and a hurricane could easily do that too.

its not going particulary fast.

[Lilley313]

Ha!! Thats my boss's old man.... I always thought he was winding me up that he had a Spitfire!!!

[Irvine5312x6ma]

Come on Terrorizer!!! If it were a Hurricane, it would have a larger vertical tail, rounded wingtips and not an elliptical wing planform!!! And it would be hard for a Hurricane to go that fast at low altitudes! Yes SmiertSpionem it's a Mk.IX!!!

[SmiertSpionem]

Spitfire Mk.IX I think...

[whyseewhy59]

Yes, that's a Spirtfire

[ThePhantomMajor]

no sorry it is a Spit

[Terrorizer321]

ITS A HURRICANE

SORRY.

[csonicp]

I can assure you it IS a Spitfire!

[Terrorizer321]

LIES

[csonicp]

And exactly how is this video 'FAKE' and 'LIES'?

[johnbakoda]

Hurricanes had the squared wings....
