"And welcome home, Sir. Undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it?"

"Well, as a matter of fact it was!"

" I wouldn't tell the CO that...not if I were you!"

Boing, boing, boing...

[TheInuit420]

@LionInTodayFilms huh?

[stonkie1982]

Great video!!! Like like like love the Spitfire and all the heroes who flew in this masterpiece in desperate times

[mkblaze]

You can see from that angle how hard they where to land! Looks pretty twitchy when the wheels touch down and that was a nice slow controlled landing! Still a dream to fly one tho! :) Awesome vid and angle!

[thetubewithin]

who needs tornadoes, eurofighters and harriers when youve got these bad boys?

[chrisjeffsmusic]

I've seen this aircraft in the flesh at Point Cook, beautiful.

[SuperAviatar]

Too much air and not enough oil in the legs? Boing! Of course, the aircraft weighs a lot less than the fully armed combat version. Wonder how many carry lumps of lead instead of cannons?

[HONACC323]

Great angle, great sound ... nice job.

[dahanse5]

thats not a perfect landing but its a no crash landing

[my235]

Looks like hell to land. 

[CubbyFlyer]

lol - gotta love taildraggers :-)

What a legend aircraft!

[TheAmazingProduction]

True British aircraft. I salute you inventors.

[Latvietis96]

short but awesome vid

[aerozg]

a classic Spitfire bump at landing

[kolbpilot]

No two pilots use the rudder the same.

[Matija10]

[DiamondEyeProduction]

Fantastic.

[XXformula]

@matoy77 HELL YEAH BATTLE OF BRITAIN!!!! LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!! used to watch it almost everyday when I was growing up

[Watsupwiya]

In the course of human conflict, never did so many owe much to so few

[cpunge001]

thats such beutiful aircraft, i dreams of owning one . i want a winner ticket in my pocket:) you will be mine seafire.

[lejink]

such beautiful aircraft, dream of owning one. got my winner of a lotto ticket in my wallet- you will be mine spitfire!

[4xforum]

I understand the Spit is not particularily tricky to land, but the torque roll on take off the main challenge to pilots. I will own one one day.

[MOZZWIGAN]

they look horrible to land

[EoWMaverick13]

hmm, wears the Royal Navy or RAAF insignia, interesting POV of the landing though, nice job on this.

[Kgeeoldcmp]

The Mk VIII Spitfire is painted in 457 squadron RAAF colours marked with RG-V which was Bobby Gibbes' personal aircraft and stood for "Robert Gibbes - with a V for Victory".

[3801Catcher]

@Kgeeoldcmp The plane is owned by Temora Aviation Museum and was purchased in early 2000 from Pay Air Service's at Scone, NSW, Australia.

[TopGunSGA]

btw EoWMaverick it's not solely Royal Navy or RAAF markings (as in the Blue and White roundels) they are South East Asia Command roundels and were used on ALL British (both RAF and RN) and Commonwealth Aircraft.

[ChrizRockster]

Seafire?

[Kgeeoldcmp]

@ChrizRockster Spitfire Mk VIII.

[ChrizRockster]

@Kgeeoldcmp - Thanks!

[gothekittycats]

@ChrizRockster spit fire from this angle

[LionInTodayFilms]

@EoWMaverick13 Heres a fact- the reason why the low visibility roundel has no red was because from a distance the roundel could have been mistaken for a japenese plane.

[BJBTJF]

@LionInTodayFilms Correct and that is the main reason why the USAAC got rid of the 'red meat ball' from their roundel in the South West Pacific theatre.

[Magcheck]

Best telephoto landing shots I've seen since those taken for the British TV series "Piece of Cake". I'd sure hope we can see more of them.

[larvarez]

very reall

[busvanman]

Great job on the vid-a unique and totally differant perspective look at a "spit" and how much you have to be on the ball to keep her on the tarmac.

[stefanorso]

Still an astonishing bird!

[slickbluejet]

the classic spitfire bounce(s)

[schumy90]

bouncy bouncy on the tarmac :) ...gotta love that plane,it's a true jewl

[arpnlaei]

This is going on my favorites list! 5/5

[thiagopivoto]

Good land :)

[modelpilot15]

I agree, you can't get a better view than that, except for a real life view, of course!

[Alexvideoclip]

I flu on tail drive airplane, that's allot of fun, taking off and landing.

[morrisonak]

Great clip

[luuubuuus]

nice video :)

[stephenpprice]

i would give anything to go back to the second world war and fly one of those planes.

[bamsawa]

@stephenpprice some hear sutch an amasingly biutifull ac.

(squse the spelling)

[kenns9]

@stephenpprice

no you wouldn't

[stephenpprice]

@kenns9 you have no idea, pal.

[kenns9]

@stephenpprice

Don't need the idea, I have the facts.

[Alexvideoclip]

@stephenpprice you can, some are still flying.

[kevatcrewe]

Awesome Rolls-Royce Merlin Supercharged V12 sound

[flyer37]

Wee!

[englishelectric]

Two landing fees for that one!

[planethaven]

lol! They are difficult at those speeds. I woiuld have been happy with it especially on tarmac!

[Maroonmachine]

I believe it was known as the 'Spitfire bounce'. Difficult to land a Spitfire without it!

[planethaven]

Aye.

[rumpel4skinOU]

@englishelectric

I think he owes for or five.
