The Brits are much more in touch with their history than us Americans, sad to say. If you asked one in 10,000 Americans to pick out a P-51 from a 747 they couldn't do it. To bad we are taught to hate our country, whereas you British stand by your country despite your political differences. Good on ya!
The most beautifull airplane ever built in my eyes. The sound of that big V12 Merlin engine kisses my soul, the best sound ever. I first encounterd a Spitfire, prob MH434 at West Malling during my childhood, it was love at first sight. Still today with my two boys, 2 or 3 times a year go to the Legends airshow at Duxford . Now all i hear is " look daddy, a Spitfire"
Breathtaking. And heartbreaking. What a beautiful thing it is to see these aircraft flying, and yet I cannot help but to think what it was like to see these planes leave the ground 70 years ago... I cannot wrap my thoughts around such emotions. From an American nearly 2 generations removed from those men who flew those planes in a most desperate hour... I see these planes, I hold back a tear as I thank them in my heart.
them 3 flying together,is the best sound a human ear can pick up,full stop,there is nothing that comes close,oh hang on ive just thought of something, yes thats it a typhoon with full afterburners, no ive got it wrong its a spitfire, that is my no 1 ,but my second favorite plane sound is a lancaster,ps i love to see all clasic planes flying and best of all to hear them lovely piston engines,
Beautiful. And whoever didn't put music to this video, especially anachronistic and terrible music, gets an A-plus. I was just at an airshow, and they would only shut up for 5 seconds at a time. I wanted to hear the engines.
P-51 had a Merlin too..? from Brit? Just had a single take in.
