WOW! This, I think, is one of your best vid's: You showed us the hucks starter system, got a wonderful takeoff withoust obstacles, some great flybys, and the landing and shutdown. I am not saying that your other fantastisc videos are bad though. You are a master at filming old aircraft! Great job:D

@kristenburnout1 Thanks, The Sea Hurricane and the Gloster Gladiator are a couple of my favorites as well as this one.

it sounds kind of like turbo prop in 2:36 - 2:43

Did the engine compression make it difficult to hand crank the propellor?

One of the best flying videos on youtube. Simply excellent in every way. Well done.

@kissmybuttdimple This aircraft is powered by a Rolls Royce Kestrel V engine the commentator is talking about a different aircraft.

@auldm  my bad.... i should have read the notes. i've got a dog-eared copy of KENNETH MUNSONS' ... 1962 AIRCRAFT OF WORLD WAR II . it covers all the specs... i should have consulted it as well. still WONDERFUL VIDEO.... PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING.
