Oh please the Spitfire could never win a Pylon Race and the MX2 could never win a dogfight, it's not a fair match for either. I say build a composite Spitfire and see how that goes.
Didn't see anything other than the planes starting and a few seconds of the spit fire flying they should of showed more showed how it helped the brits win the air war sheesh
actually i'm quite curios about something i just noticed, the exhaust system on the spitfire appear to be in the front, didn't the pilot have any problem with the gas filling up the cockpit?
@MrPes5040 Oh, I'll vote that comment up. Too many unique planes have been lost just doing air shows, never mind races, and one day the flyable Spitfire will be "unique" if it keeps up.
@MrPes5040 I know.There's not that many about mate...I also think that if there's not enough left 2 rebuild and restore we should actually be making new ones from scratch...Granted they'd only be replicas but they would still be 100% Spits as far as i'm concerned as long as they stick to the design like glue and use genuine Merlin power plants...What do you think??? We were talking about this in my history major.
@williamblair11 Hi You Will need to be mind full that I am 68years old now and worked at Rolls Royce as an engineering inspector here in Filton. Bristol. UK The spitfires remaining were a common site.Saw a video on here were some fool blow a Merlin engine, having fitted to some sort of monster truck. This is history and the sites and sounds of freedom there messing up .Sorry call me an old fart if you like, but I don't approve
@MrPes5040 why did they hit the deck?? cause they were shot to shit and still FLEW!!!! how many live did this aircraft save when they had flak in their engines? my grandfather was an engineer in ww2, and the stories he told me bout all the things this aircraft bin threw......
Without the Merlin engine, Hurricane, Spitfire, Lancaster, Mosquito, Mustang et al. I don't think we would be comparing the performance of an 'Extra versus a nearly antique Aircraft! (the Merlin was designed nearly 80 years ago?)
well if this is the way technology has gone then id have the spitfire any day !! 70 years technology gap and still the spit holds its own !! just like the harrier jump jet , can the spitfire ever be matched !!?? id say no
Aerobatic planes just got a 120~150 horse engine in it whereas the Spit has a humoungous motor in it.Straight line flight itll pull away of course but in the twisties the racers gonna lead.....
@rs200000000000 Yeah, lots of ppl would agree with you. Even saying the Spitfire was the best prop fighter would be a huge stretch. p51 was probably the greatest prop fighter, mostly because it was one of the last fighters made before jet engine took over.
@clearlogicify in my mind there are three top contenders the hurricane, the avro lancaster and the spitfire the three main planes of world war two., today i suppose the best planes are the harrier and the eurofighter and the f18, strange britian does seem to make alot of the best planes , the Harrier jump jet the euro figher the concord, even in the war the americans fighters were powerd by biritsh engines rolls royce engines.
@rs200000000000 The p51 ended up using a RR engine, yes, and it's connected to Britain in other ways too. Still does no alter the fact it was simply the best prop figher due to it fixing most of the spitfire problems and it being the last and most modern prop powered fighter of WW2. The manufacturer of plane or the country that made the engine is irrelevant.
Now you go on to list completely irrelevant jet powered planes.
@clearlogicify its irrelevant in your mind but not everyone else's, hardly irrelevant lol i did say the best modern planes , you need to take a chill pill pal....
@rs200000000000 When you answer posts you like to introduce other types of plane. Never mind the post was about the best prop powered figher. You just answered with random planes, current to WW2, including passenger planes and jets. Then you give super bias opinions without any basis and completely off topic.
If you post like this, expect everyone to tell you to first, understand what is being talked about and how to respond (if you feel you should), secondly, to at least be on topic.
@rs200000000000 " its irrelevant in your mind but not everyone else's" - also, understand the meaning of words you try to use. You'll look a lot less retarded.
@clearlogicify I think rs200000000000 got the hump because Americans do tend to come along and try to compare their P-51 to the Spitty when not only was the P-51 made towards the end of the war and didn't have the same epic experience as the spitty....it used the British RR Merlin engine. What he is really taking out on you is the fact that some Americans don't give credit where it's due.
The Spitfire and Hurricane will always be iconic planes to the Brits as they helped defend/define their very identity/country. Symbols of defiance. The P51 had amazing success and helped win WW2 too, but it was simply a very function and efficient plane.
@clearlogicify Yeah I'm glad you saw what I meant with that. It's not so much the jet that makes it a legend but the circumstances. The P-51 should be seen as an evolution of the Spitty with all the little creases ironed out. It's just the way shit roles. The UK buys allot of kit from the US these days. YT can be a really bad place to debate with people. Allot of people here have massive E ego's :)
@jtkent28 ....Yes, but if the MX2 had guns....It's wings would buckle because of the extra weight of the barrels and ammunition...especially at high speed when taking inertia into account...the MX2 is too lightwieght...A bit like hooking and HGV trailor onto a ferrari
If we're talking straight line course with no regard to era (since the Spitfire and MX2 come from different eras), I would say the winner goes to the SR-71 Blackbird or maybe even the X-15.
@kineticdeath The 262 manouevred like a brick! lol Read, "Sky Spy," by RAF pilot Ray Holmes, he was the pilot who rammed a Heinkel bomber in 1940 to prevent it attacking Buckingham Palace. He later flew photo recce missions over German in MK XIX Spits. He was engaged by a 262 & he out manouevred it with ease. He used the 262's speed to his advantage, as it came in from the rear starboard quarter, he shut his throttle & entered a hard turn to starboard, the 262 overshot by a mile.
@gibbo1112 Yes. He rammed the tail of a Dornier 117 and sheered it off. The incident was filmed, the Dornier crashed into the side of Victoria station, leaving scar damage in that is visiable to this day. Holmes parachuted out-an extremely brave man. He subsequently went onto photo-recce duties. His book, "Sky Spy," is well worth a read, especially his dual with two Me 262's-he ran rings around them with the agile Spit. He was born & raised in Birkenhead, passed away about three yrs ago :(
I think this is an unfair race as these planes are designed for 2 totally different flying styles!!! A warbird vs a fully aerobatic aircraft, and they rigged the course with little turns so of course the spitfire will win LOL. I wanna see it try and do a proper pylon race.....see how it's not an accurate measure of performance? you just can't compare these 2 aircraft. they are both beautiful and good at what they do :D
Oh come on - it was just designed to be a bit of fun. Everybody already knew the Spitfire MkIX had a higher top speed but the MX2 was far more maneuverable - it was, in a way, a celebration of the Spit's 70th anniversary of it's first production run.
When the Red Bull planes start using an adapted Aston Martin V12 then it might have competition for the Spit... but the Spit will still be way prettier.
Nothing is greater than taking a WWII warbird into the sky and putting it through its paces. Thats a dream come true for nearly all pilots! Never seen a Spitty in action or in real life before but it sounded awesome.
@stevenscottoddballz I saw the answer to this on the tele a few weeks ago. Apparently, at high altitude natural evaporation and carburation of petrol through a supercharger gives more pounds of boost than fuel injection does.
I agree. Nice, short, and to the point non-political comment. No history lessons. No crap about who is better. They are just neat planes. The Spitfire is an awesome plane though. Beautiful machine. Now, I'll go back and read some more of these crazy comments : p
@antho836 Totally agree! the Spitfire is without a doubt the most beautiful aircraft ever. And that Merlin engine sound goes straight to your gonads...
i cant understand anything they saiud alls i can hear is bloody bloody bloody bloodybloody bloodybloody, bloody. bloody bloody bloody bloody....bloody bloodybloody bloody overexageration massive massive massive bloody bloody
By the way, for all of you who keep calling it USAF. The United States Air Force wasn't founded until 1947. If you want to properly discuss united states aircraft involvement, then it is called the USAAC (United States Army Air Corps)
@wuggahumftamuf - The first, origional factory at Woolston in Southampton. Castle Bromwich was origionally the home of the Morris Motor Comapny. What was the 'Air Ministry' at that time then bought a site next to Catle Bromwich Aerodrome, mostly consisting of farm fields, and this became the replacement for the older, less efficicent factory in Southampton. You are both right. :')
Beautifull old girl ! I once had the pleasure of hearing and seeing her come straight at me in a dive during an airshow, that was 31 years ago and I have never forgotten that beautifull Merlin engine sound and her profile.
@dixievfd55 Thats weird because the only thing the two aircraft (P51D) have in common is its engine. The P51 has way more in common with the P40 than any other aircraft.
@Icarusdecending82 You're thinking of the P-51D, but earlier models of the fighter more closely resemble the Spitfire than the P-40. Performance of the A and B models was so poor that it was relegated to recon and low altitude attack missions.
the mx2 owns the spitfire in manouvrability but still u can't compare the two unless u have the mx2 loaded with guns and 2 worthy pilots eager to kill each other
now if someone told me to go ahead and take one home , spit it is
Here we go again... just the mention of the word Spitfire, & we get WW2, Hitler, Churchill, blah blah who won the war slanging match...Nice quality and interesting video by the way Lol!
@cashman156 hahaha!!! you're so fucking right mate!!! too many people on the internet have too much bloody time on their hands....go outside and chop some wood you lazy bastards!!!!
Here's another juicy tidbit, I know you'll hate, Churchill 's famous speech, the one about fighting on the beaches, wasn't done by him , as he was too drunk as was usually the case each nite past 5pm. So, in addition to look alikes for his security, his people hired others to sound like him as well. You see the public could never know what a hopeless alcoholic he really was.
'We shall fight them on the beaches', the speech which Churchill gave to the house of commons was recorded and you can find that recording here on YouTube. It is further evidence of Churchill's superiority over Hitler and how wrong you are. The recording shows Churchill's superior oratory skills, Hitler was only good at shouting and showed none of Churchill's subtlety or delivery, and its existance proves your findings to be innacurate.
@RequiemVortex buddy, do you think that my intel is heresay, or I made it up? I would bet you onethouusand dollars that Churchill did not make that speech that night, furthermore It is a fact that he was miles away dead drunk which was also told by his personal chauffeur at the time, I dont have a hate on for this guy, Im only trying to tell people the truth after the fact, It is also a fact that he forged a french painters name on copies he himself painted. Roosevelt found out via secret servic
Respond to this video...and telephoned churchill and said, I hope I ve not gotten you introuble with Scotland Yard over this chaps name, Of course that was Roosevelts intention as he didnot like the man.
The Hawker Hurricane played a larger role in the Battle of Britain because there were more of them, but the Spitfires in the Battle of Britain had a higher success rate than the hurricanes
that is the brit version but certainly not the truth, Churchill was a pos and a drunk extraordinaire, an imbecile who lost Gallopoli all on his own a total failure and in the jews pocket.
Churchill may have drank heroically and smoked like a chimney but he was a superior war leader who utterly thrashed Hitler with his superior wit, intellect and layman's knowledge on (among other things) naval strategy and air defence. He only slept 4 hours a day during WW2 and in his retirement made 570 paintings. Despite this he died at the age of 90.
Hitler on the other hand was a failed art student with one ball and a penchant for megalomania. Also Churchill won the war.
@RequiemVortex Perhaps you should read the truth about that traitor instead of what they would have you believe. I know its hard to think that we've been lied to since day one
Oh please the Spitfire could never win a Pylon Race and the MX2 could never win a dogfight, it's not a fair match for either. I say build a composite Spitfire and see how that goes.

rs200000000000 9 months ago
@rs200000000000 Perhaps because the MX2 is flying SMOKE ON!!

Nothing is greater than taking a WWII warbird into the sky and putting it through its paces. Thats a dream come true for nearly all pilots! Never seen a Spitty in action or in real life before but it sounded awesome.

why doesn't the Spitfire have fuel injection? I have been wondering that for a while.
stevenscottoddballz 9 months ago
@stevenscottoddballz I saw the answer to this on the tele a few weeks ago. Apparently, at high altitude natural evaporation and carburation of petrol through a supercharger gives more pounds of boost than fuel injection does.

I agree. Nice, short, and to the point non-political comment. No history lessons. No crap about who is better. They are just neat planes. The Spitfire is an awesome plane though. Beautiful machine. Now, I'll go back and read some more of these crazy comments : p

By the way, for all of you who keep calling it USAF. The United States Air Force wasn't founded until 1947. If you want to properly discuss united states aircraft involvement, then it is called the USAAC (United States Army Air Corps)

Spitfire was built at the Jaguar works in Castle Bromwich Birmingham not just in Portsmouth or Southampton .
wuggahumftamuf 10 months ago
@wuggahumftamuf - The first, origional factory at Woolston in Southampton. Castle Bromwich was origionally the home of the Morris Motor Comapny. What was the 'Air Ministry' at that time then bought a site next to Catle Bromwich Aerodrome, mostly consisting of farm fields, and this became the replacement for the older, less efficicent factory in Southampton. You are both right. :')

dixievfd55 11 months ago
@dixievfd55 Thats weird because the only thing the two aircraft (P51D) have in common is its engine. The P51 has way more in common with the P40 than any other aircraft.
Icarusdecending82 11 months ago
@Icarusdecending82 You're thinking of the P-51D, but earlier models of the fighter more closely resemble the Spitfire than the P-40. Performance of the A and B models was so poor that it was relegated to recon and low altitude attack missions.
dixievfd55 11 months ago
@dixievfd55 actually the early model mustangs were mistaken for a 109 with the square wings and birdcage canopy

Here's another juicy tidbit, I know you'll hate, Churchill 's famous speech, the one about fighting on the beaches, wasn't done by him , as he was too drunk as was usually the case each nite past 5pm. So, in addition to look alikes for his security, his people hired others to sound like him as well. You see the public could never know what a hopeless alcoholic he really was.
germaniajim 1 year ago
@germaniajim
'We shall fight them on the beaches', the speech which Churchill gave to the house of commons was recorded and you can find that recording here on YouTube. It is further evidence of Churchill's superiority over Hitler and how wrong you are. The recording shows Churchill's superior oratory skills, Hitler was only good at shouting and showed none of Churchill's subtlety or delivery, and its existance proves your findings to be innacurate.

@RequiemVortex buddy, do you think that my intel is heresay, or I made it up? I would bet you onethouusand dollars that Churchill did not make that speech that night, furthermore It is a fact that he was miles away dead drunk which was also told by his personal chauffeur at the time, I dont have a hate on for this guy, Im only trying to tell people the truth after the fact, It is also a fact that he forged a french painters name on copies he himself painted.

that is the brit version but certainly not the truth, Churchill was a pos and a drunk extraordinaire, an imbecile who lost Gallopoli all on his own a total failure and in the jews pocket.

@germaniajim
Churchill may have drank heroically and smoked like a chimney but he was a superior war leader who utterly thrashed Hitler with his superior wit, intellect and layman's knowledge on (among other things) naval strategy and air defence. He only slept 4 hours a day during WW2 and in his retirement made 570 paintings. Despite this he died at the age of 90.
Hitler on the other hand was a failed art student with one ball and a penchant for megalomania. Also Churchill won the war.
