The sound of freedom.

[blkjock81]

I think this is my favourite arrangement of this march...especially the trio.

[TneAlice]

I'm an Australian Air Force Cadet at 303SQN & I love going to cadets friday & doing final parade practice to this song!! :)

[aviationnoitall]

Goggles on, chocks away, last one backs a homo....Hurrah!

[lawomega1]

I luv this video ,it epitomises all those young pilots during WW2 who gave of their all to keep Britain and there allies free from the "JACKBOOT" . I wonder how many of these brave men gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country.God bless them all. From a grateful wartime baby,who remembers the loud frightening sirens, and the air raid shelters and not forgetting all WW2 servicemen and women lawomega1

長いこと曲だけ耳に残ってて、やっと見つけました。英国空軍の軍­歌だったんですか。thank you for uploading

[RailwayFanatic92220]

Do you know where I could get a copy of this recording? It's the best I've heard, yet can't seem to find it anywhere?

[farodealer]

@RailwayFanatic92220 The best recordings of this march are by one of the Bands of the Royal Air Force

[JohnnyZero1942]

Apologies for the delay in reply. This rendition is in more of a "British Light Music" style, and is on compilations by the "Asv Living Era/White Line" Labels.The former makes compilations of old LP recordings and reissues them. Nice as this is, those that do this practice tend to not bother with identifying the performer... So in short, i do not know who it is. But this recording can be found on two albums "Halcyon Days: A Treasury Of British Light Music" & "Poppy Classics"

[mig25pd]

5 years in the Air Training Corps and a Cadet Warrant Officer at the end - best 5 years of my otherwise ill-spent youth,.

Per ardua ad astra.

[Multiandrei123451]

The best thing to do while listening to this song, is drive the flight simulator on google earth, and pretend you're in a spitfire.

[bucurdragos]

Long live Luftwaffe !

[AaronChiang1997]

im a flight corporal right now in 609 steveston squadron

[costello521]

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so Few", Winston Churchill 16 August, 1940. Never forget those who gave their lives so this world could be a better place.

[norfi154]

Through adversities we'll conquer, blaze into the stars. A trail of glory, we'll live on land and sea till victory is won. Men in blue the skies are winging. In each heart on thought is ringing; fight for the right, our god is might. We shall be free. Best trio of all British marches.

-A Canadian air cadet.

[njd0930]

this is the best march past of all the sections, elements, and, well, anything

[TheMrWitty]

i think this is the best march past out of the three sections

[jmaccyd]

Respect to all of the brave men and women of the RAF. May the young people of Britain and Germany never have to go through what our forefathers did.

[pilgrimpater]

Here is to my old man too. Not a pilot but a "gunner trainer" and then on Air Sea Rescue. He was so proud of the RAF and we should be proud of all of them.

[bobinhove]

@pilgrimpater

Be proud of your old man, the Air Sea Rescue saved many lives !

[pilgrimpater]

@bobinhove Don't worry about that i am proud of him. I treasure the wooden replica of an airsea rescue launch he made. I'm proud of the values he gave me. He belonged to generation that gave so much yet rarely complained.

[we4578]

less we not forget the brave lads who gave the lives on this day 70 yrs ago

[mottledbrain]

This was my dad's favourite piece of music.

He joined the RCAF at the tender age of 18. He served in WWII in Canada working on aircraft. This is what he and his peers marched to daily.

God bless them all.

[jonnybottle]

hear! hear!

[bobinhove]

God bless them !

[waghorn41]

The picture reminds me of my two uncles (brothers), both Sergeant fighter pilots, both killed in action 1941 aged 19 and 20.

[jonnybottle]

@waghorn41 War, unfortunately, always falls hardest on young men. i.e. time to get out of afghanistan
