[Samjapa]

The sea hawk's a sexy plane.

[hokuspokus29]

fantastic planes

[netleyned]

Thank you. Fantastic stuff.

[youngergrim]

3 people have no soul.........

[kenns9]

Notice at 3:39, that the Sea Hawk pilot is doing nothing but watching the Sea Fury aircraft!

[emberzs]

the sea hawk is a great plane just building a pair in airfix, great, put more of these vids up :) :)

[JOHNO4992]

Get the headphones on and just listen to em, brilliant !

[digireedoo]

The Sea Hawk and put in a fantastic display at the Farnborough Airshow yesterday, together with a Seafire. Will be out watching them again today!

[hurrem18]

Very, very beautiful !!

[redbaroniii]

The sea hawk did well in combat during the suez fighting. now I have to save up for one of those too.

[MJCG1088]

Really lovely, two amazing planes. Amazing thing to see

[666Iluminatis666]

VERY BEAUTIFUL

HAIL FROM BRAZIL , (Pracinhas 2 war wolrd)

[TheOneAfter9090909]

this video circles mostly around the jet, doesn't it

[mrrmancunian]

So, are the aircraft within the museum actually airworthy?

There's a Sea Fury and Sea Hawk in the museum itself, along with a Seafire too - it may seem like a daft question after all, but I went to a museum in the states and the majority of the aircraft within the museum flew. The people could literally go right up to and touch them.

[tribalheadz]

WASP i think you will find the sea fury was a late WW2 aircraft. Also the first american jet engines were taken from plans handed over to the US from the British Government. Frank whittle had created tested and manufactured a fully working jet engine before the birth of the ME 262 etc

[asdeaff]

Years ago I was rabbiting with my old dog on the back of Portsdown Hill and the sea fury roared over head and flew down onto HMS Daedulus for it`s display. At one point I was looking down onto the pilot in his cockpit. Danny boy the jack russel terror passed away after 14 happy years. Those rabbits didn`t stand a chance.

[vulcanfanman]

Superb footage as ever. I think maybe pilots would refer to take off in the SH owing to the better forward visibility - that for the SF pilot must be near zero at first. Love these two planes, reminds me of the 80s when we had the trio, very sad about the Firefly.

[craigpaul69]

that looks like a fw190 to me could be wrong

[andyknight1]

one video, two superb aircraft. The sound of the Sea Fury as it whistles through the sky is superb

[WASPfreak]

These aircraft were operational during the same time periods as the A-4 Skyhawk, F-8 Crusader, and the early phantom variants.

[tribalheadz]

I would hardly call the comet a disaster, having travelled on it, i can say it was a comfortable platform and a far cry from turbo prop travel.

One could consider that the US is a huge country compared to the UK and therefore has the infrastructure to match population and economy. Britain has some fine inventions, productions and engineering to its name. The US did much of its jet research from projects stolen from Germany in WW2. Stealth was a German Idea, see the Horton Aircraft.

[hansolo4225]

It seams a great shame the Comet failed. It was beauty. I understand that after the crashes and tank pressure testing was undertaken the fault was found to be cracks forming around the square windows. I believe they should have been round. Lets not forget Northrop was working on flying wings in the US in the 1930's.

[tribalheadz]

not forgetting britain built the first jet airliner !

[WASPfreak]

Yeah, and it was a disaster. These aircraft were decent when they came into service, but they were outclassed by planes like the F-8 Crusader and early American jets.

[Aussiephil99]

WASPfreak......early American jets?......most early American jets (late 1940s) had British engines because the Americans didn't know how to make them. Even later US engines owed alot to US designers reverse engineering earlier British engines.

[daswurger]

Two gems...interesting even aside of a jet the Seafury looked marvelous... during the 2nd war they didnt allow hawker to use the Centaurus engine on the Tempest,few years later the Seafury was shoting down Mig jets in Korea...

[JoEC575]

Oh so proud to be british.. Us brits at our best... We built the best looking aircraft! Built for war, but look great!

[dynamicz108]

And supersonic air travel.

Weve succeded at more than the yanks

[I85PIES]

I once heard Brian Sanders describe the Sea Fury as a ' God damn, bitchin, ass kickin fighter' love it!

That Centaurus sounds so sweet, and the Sea Hawk is the prettiest jet fighter ever built.

[intertr0ns]

Fantastic!

[youspike9]

soz 4 evry fink i sed 6 dayz ago it wozn't me it woz my bro

[TheSanderz]

proper rubbish? so there's an improper rubbish? Stupid brit.

[waffoorn]

I remember this Seahawk, I was involved in it's rebuild at Station Flight,Rnas Culdrose Nr Helston back in the 70's.We did a few air displays with it till Yeovilton's Historic Flight comandeered it.I remember replacing the engine one weekend.

[nazcasteve]

This is a superb video, and the Sea Hawk is lovely. I'm building the Sea Hawk for FS2004, and this video has proved invaluable, right down to the cartridge start. I love how like many restored classics, the RNHF has removed the gunsight for a GPS. Not one for the purists, but perfectly understandable.

[IainPlanesTV]

Its really good to hear that this video has been of use to you. I'd be interested in seeing the finished article. Are FS2004 models compatible with FSX?

[hmasmelbourne]

Sexiest plane the FAA has ever owned (Sea Hawk). Pity it had strait wings.

[juzzi07]

Just awesome to see the entire RN Historic Flight alive.

[mxm99fish]

Wicked stuff.

[Irvine5312x6ma]

Nothing in the world can beat the Centaurus's sound...

[turdtrousers]

Brilliant pieces of kit when we weren't a global laughing stock, unlike today under Nu-Labour. Nanny says planes are dangerous...

[Gruntol5]

Why do we have to put up with crap like you, you silly little boy?

[KiloByte69]

Looks like they're testing some shit out.

[BrunoDerBergelf]

what is the black smoke at the start of the first plane??

[saxonflyer]

It's a cartridge (gunpowder cannister) starter system used on early jets to "kickstart" the turbine into life wth a cloud of smoke! It was used on several postwar jets, inlcuding the Canberra bomber and many others...

[Gruntol5]

Marvellous! 2 of Britains finest. Loved the cartridge engine start on Sea Hawk.

[CrazyPhilou]

wonderful...although pity no inflight camera on the fury.maybe there is on the full vid.

[mrspenn16]

Simply poetry in flight, super vid, thanks.

[loreztaken]

Go Navy. Great video!

[phoebewilkinson]

Grace, Beauty and power. Lovely to see them both.

[digofabu]

nice video!

[centaurus18]

Excellent footage, I hope to get the VLN06 Air Day DVD next year.
