Awesome "Spirit Of Kent" Spitfire Display. RAF Manston Museum Event 2010..

[1979Olitsch]

The first pilot I see which is moving the Spit through corners as fast as I ever imagined it shlud have been in the war. In all the other movies they seem to turn their planes in slow-motion..

Really wonderfull to watch!!

Beautiful looking and sounding aircraft, Ohh what I would do to get my hands on one to fly!!!

Nicely Recorded! :)

Other videos claim to be the best, so I reluctantly clicked, but this really is one of the best, if not the best. I love the pilots insistence on flying at the edge of the spitfires performance envelope, from turn to turn, bank to bank, and climb to climb. Check out that right bank, holding the AoA with the rudder. He's loving life!

Fantastic video.

Thanks on behalf of all those like me who may never get the opportunity of seeing a Spitfire in flight for real.

Excellently filmed, too. Love the zooming in or out with the blue skies and white clouds.

[Wonkabar007]

@GimmeanF Thanks, I like to zoom out so folks can see where the aircraft is in the sky, and how fast it is flying.

Love the barrell roll at 5.30ish!

Enjoyed watching this video. Once again Dan Griffith gave another superb display. I had hoped to be there to video this display, but unfortunately was unable to make it to Manston. However, I did video his displays on 14th September 2008 and in May 2009. If you are interested, please see "rgnvideo channel" on YouTube. The first one is titled "Spirit of Kent Spitfire_Manston_14.9.08_Pilot­_ Dan Griffith" and the second one is "Spirit of Kent Spitfire Manston 2009".

@Wonkabar007..thanks for uploading this! Is it the Mark IX? I can't wait to see the one on display near the Boeing plant outside Seattle soon.

[Wonkabar007]

@mightymac63 Thats correct.

[SteamSeeker]

Thank you for uploading this excellent footage. The camerawork is (almost) as good as the exemplary flying display..! Nay, it is as good..!! A joy to watch.

LOVE THE SOUND OF THAT BIG V-12!

[HSTMDad]

Wonderful video - really superb ... and NO music!!! Brilliant!

[Wonkabar007]

@HSTMDad It just wouldn't be right, to drown out the beautiful merlin engine with music.

Thanks for posting this, the hair on the back of my neck is still standing up. This is what youtube should be about!

The sound of freedom, least we forget.....

[Wonkabar007]

@bagbag1978 The Spirit of Kent Spitfire is always a rip roaring great display, of power and agility.

Great filming what camera are you using?

Great aircraft, great display, great piece of film, but alarmingly very surprised with the short distance of separation from the public to the display line. We all like to see these amaizing historic planes in action and in no doubt the pilot has vast experience, I feel that safety is paramount at all airshows. There was one manouvre as the Pilot passed over the public gaining altitude but as he turned to fly back down the display line, he lost a considerable amount of height !!!!.

Nice video 007 of a truly jaw-dropping display by Dan griffiths.

[DaveP72006]

Another brilliant display and very well filmed,this guy has to be one of the best display pilots out there,complete mastery of the Spitfire,an interesting and varied display,I wish they could all be flown this way.....

[03brad]
