  • like in airshows these guys are taking a chance on a collision that can result in 2 deaths and 2 irreplaceable planes destroyed. happens frequently.

  • Comment removed

  • Small thin wings, tiny cockpits, tiny complex aircraft, everything manual, the power of 4 high powered cars; how did they get young men to fly them? And they all did it more than once.

  • Such wonderful old war birds, once enemy's now friends

  • Messerschmit sound is an orgasm...

  • fan-bloody-tastic

  • MMMMMEEEEEEEOOOOOOW

  • From a distance, they almost look identical !

  • Hell ya!!!

  • Memories of the dogfights over Kent. :) Just love this sequence

  • shooot him!!! shooot him!!!

  • It's nice to see these old adversaries and colleagues meet up again. Incredible aircraft with incredible pilots

  • its the me109 for me what a sound

  • Wow now thats a sound of power

  • That spitfire is MH434? A very famous Spitfire that one, RIP Mark Hanna.

  • I just came. . . 

  • Yo imagine seeing this in the 1940's over the fields firing canons and machine guns. What a amazing sound that had to of been

  • @BrandenTheAviator

    i just wrote almost the same in an other video :)

    and i totally agree. Imagine seeing 12 to 15 planes in 1940 flying over the fields firing canons in a huge doog fight. And then you look up in the sky just to realize that those 12- 15 planes were just a "part" of a HUGE armada of 30-40 planes that is now only black dotts up in the sky...

  • Is the Daimler Bez engine of the 109 turbocharged or something? I hear a whine from it when it flies real low

  • @MrJp990 it's the supercharger that makes the whining noise, so yes, it's kinda turbocharged ;)

  • @Arcticviper You said its supercharged, yet its turbocharged at the same time....... Hmmmm

  • @MrJp990 Ok then, since you appear to have misunderstood my comment, allow me to clarify... The DB-605 has a single-stage variable-speed centrifugal type supercharger driven through a barometrically controlled clutch; with MW50 injection into the supercharger intake.

    Is that better? :P

  • @Arcticviper Yes it is better actually, you are one of the few people that ACTUALLY know THAT much about the Daimler-Benz 605..... Sadl thats not the only the engine the ME 109 used :P

  • @Arcticviper and also dilithium crystal in the flux capacitor :-)

  • @northernsoul44 lol! :D

  • @MrJp990

    The whine is the supercharger, which is particularly loud on the DB engines. The Me109 is supercharged, NOT turbocharged, with the supercharger driven by fluid coupling on the left side of the engine. The Jumo series V12s had the supercharger on the opposite (right) side. Merlin V12s on the Spits and Mustangs had the supercharger on the lower rear of the engine.

  • @FiveCentsPlease Correct me if im wrong, dont super and turbochargers make the engine act like its in lower altitudes?

  • @MrJp990

    Yes to increase power, especially at higher altitudes.

  • @FiveCentsPlease So would it be possible to keep a higher fuel mixture at higher altitudes?

  • @MrJp990

    Supercharging and turbocharging force more air into the engine, and yes that lets you add more fuel. A side effect of forcing in more air is heat, while a cooler dense mixture is desired. An intercooler is sometimes used to cool the mixture. More performance was possible at lower altitudes with water injection (MW-50) which allowed higher boost and cooled the mixture. Nitrous oxide (GM-1) acted as oxygen carrier at higher altitude for a boost in performance. Continued.......

  • @MrJp990

    Continued .....Both MW-50 and GM-1 could only be used for short periods without risk of engine damage or shortened engine life. Several sub-series of the DB605 during the war used a combination of larger superchargers, MW-50 and GM-1 to increase performance.

  • It must've been a really strange sight actually seeing these fly in the skies over England, shooting at each other trying to kill each other.

  • Brits on his tail ;)

  • it has always been said that the spitfire looked like a beautiful woman and the 109 looked like a killer, its quite ironic that the merlin in the spit has that spine tingling purrr to it and the daimler benz has that howl to it like it's madder than hell, but also spine tingling.

  • There's a man in England who built a Spitfire out of genuine parts in his back garden shed. A WWII veteran pilot came to see it and admitted it was the real deal.

    I saw a report on BBC News about it.

    There might be a YouTube video of that as well.

  • OMG! Absolutely beautiful, wonderful!

  • play together nicely children:)

    this is beautiful, thank you

  • Awesome...

  • Absolutely beautiful....but I gotta say, loving that DB engine whine soo much

  • I love the Me 109

  • Gotta love that sound. Jet propulsion doesn't come close sound-wise.

  • God i wish i had the money to restore a Spitfire, how do u start somting like that!!!

  • There is something special about the qrowl of a Merlin engine in the Spitfire that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Wonderful shots. wonderful sound.

  • Cool to see Supermarine Spitfire flying formation with a Messerschmitt Bf109 G10

    imagine, 68years ago they would be shooting eachother down!

  • great footage, where was this filmed ? Would love to see more German warbird's fly in England, especially at Duxford

  • @MrSpitfire1990

    Filmed in Summer 1996 when Bf109G-2/Trop Black 6 and another Me109G (Buchon conversion) were temporarily together at Duxford. Black 6 was painted in different colors for part of the filming. Black 6 is now on permanent display while the other Me109G resides with EADS in Germany. The DVD "One Summer, Two Messerschmitts" is still available.

  • that me's nose cone always makes me dizzy

  • If that doesn't give you chills you don't have a pulse.

  • 109 is the best ever fighter in its day!

  • @stutzbulldog Prefer the FW190 personally especially the FW190 A8/R2. Also the Dora 9. Still great to see two magnificent WWII aircraft being flown instead of wasting their years away in a museum

  • Thank you for posting this. Very nice!!!!!!!!

  • @traffety

    Taken from a DVD with lots of flight footage and discussions about the Me109 restoration. The DVD is still available.

  • How come the seemingly different rpms of the props?

  • @kenns9

    It's two different planes, with two different propellers, two different engines, and two different flight characteristics.

  • @FiveCentsPlease

    You must work for microsoft support!

  • The sound of sport and muscle cars is great but it is nothing comapared to this. AWESOME!

  • at 0:46 im glad i wasn't a german standing in 1942

  • That MW50 boosted 109 engine sound sends chills down my spine.

  • Thanks! This is Priceless. The sound of DB and Merlin engines mmmmmm none better, well done!

  • the best low pass video i ever see... serious this is so fucking amazing the combination of the daimler benz of the bf 109 and the rolls royce spitfire sound engines!

  • Two beautiful "Nines".

  • Great video! Thanks.

  • My favorite has always been the Spitfire but I just love airplanes, All airplanes! Great video! Thanks for posting

  • "Great Symphonie"

  • BF109 good turbo-engine sound

  • i prefer the db 605 sound over that of a merlin...sounds more aggressive^^

  • StankyUS is talking nonsense! The Spitfire I was superior in almost every respect to the Bf109. There's a huge amount of data on this - it's not hard to check before making unfounded assertions.

  • @hellcatdwe Depends on the models and what you're comparing. Early Spits were carburated whilst all 109s were injected: Thus, they didn't lose power in a loop or in inverted flight. Early 109s had superior firepower, not a small thing in a fight. 109s were faster in a dive.

    Overall, I'd agree with you that the Spit was the better aircraft, but not 'in almost every respect'

  • @n52nimbus Why would the Spitfire I lose power in a loop, when it is pulling positive G throughout? It would certainly do so in a bunt, but both manoeuvres were suicide in combat. Superior fire power is debatable; cannon were effective against bombers but too slow firing for the dogfight where snap shooting was a necessity for survival, which was one reason fighters carried both types of gun. Maybe it's semantics, but 'almost' means 'the majority', and that is indisputably true for the Spitfire.

  • @hellcatdwe Apparently Spitfires DID lose power in loops because there are accounts of pilots complaining bitterly about just that fact. So loops and Immelmanns are no use in combat? Hmmmm. . .

    Yes, the 20mm guns on the Emil were slow, but still much more effective than the .303s on the early Spits.

    In the end, fighter pilots on both sides basically said that the aircraft were comparable enough that the outcome of a dogfight depended far more on the skill of the pilot.

  • @n52nimbus The spitfire lost power in a negative G maneuver, not in loops. This meant if you pointed your nose down you lost engine power because the gas was not making it to the engine. It was not as big of a deal as it is made out to be, the engine kicked back into life immediately once the negative G ends, and battles rarely see significant negative G combat.

    Later models fixed this as well, it was a problem for 1940 and 1941.

  • the spits Luciano Pavarotti meets the 109´s Bono Vox...and the simbolysm of the 2 aircraft flying together in peace is just beautiful...*****

  • Both have a great sound, but I am a sucker for the Merlin. The 109 sound is a more intimidating and scary kind of whine sound, while the Merlin had an impressive and deep roar. I think at an airshow where people come to watch, the Merlin Roar is more enjoyable than the DB Whine, which more than anything creates a nervous feeling in my gut, not really the feeling I am going for at an airshow.

    Certainly from the ground during WWII the DB whine would have been terrifying if one was diving on you.

  • @Mcplkelly

    Well I like the jets...I liked the Starfighter and the Phantom with their J79 engine...a very unique whine sound...I loved it..I liked the C 160 and C130 sounds as well...hm maybe I loved all planes....cause I wasnt biased....the Merlin is the best engine of ww2...anyhow it was a misfit for the Buchon for example...

  • watching them chase each other as opposed to just doing flybys made the whole right side of my body tingle

  • I love the nose of the Bf 109 I just love it!!!!!!

    On of my favorites WWII fighters!!!

  • Best sound of all: DB-605.

    No other airplane had so much kills....

  • Thx a bunch, nice to hear a 605, not an everyday event :)

  • Love these planes. Is that the ME you can hear whistling. The ME sounds is beautiful.

  • NICE!!!

  • The closest you can get to actually smelling the oil and feeling the breeze on the back of your neck. Great Video. Thanks!

  • Nothing beats that spitfires sound, same as nothing could touch it in 1940.Spits still the supperior plane in everyway!

  • @Saxonsoldiers in 1940 the spit had shorter legs, slower rate of climb, slower dive, and was slower at level flight, had less firepower and was minus pilot armor in the Spit mk1. What the Spit had in 1940 was a better turning ability and better energy retention, being on the defensive over home territory was a bonus. The Spitfire did not see a better performing plane over the LW (for a short period) until the Spit MkIX, and toward the end of the war.

  • today they are brothers

  • There is a definate difference in the harmonic resonance between the two planes. The Messerschmitt has a high pitched whine, then "phew" as it flies over you whereas the Spitfire has a deeper pitch, almost like a cone of sound, with a definate "wumph" as it passes overhead. You can hear it best at 2;00 as they pass over very close together. They both sound good, but the Spitfire has it; for me anyway.

  • @BradBrassman I like the way you described the sounds.

    The Me-109 sounds a bit clinical (colder) with it's whine. Like a predator.

    The Spit has a warmer raspier sound. It reminds me of an angry hornet defending it's nest. :-)

    I personally like the Messerschmitt.

  • The109 sounds and looks 100000000000000 times better than that Spitfire.

  • alte kameraden together again, no bullets, good, did you know that FAF had over 300 109-g-2 and g-6's ? It is true. One of them is still in aviation museum in Tikkakoski, Finland.

  • LOL! Notice how the 109 is always out in front?

  • @check6ii

    Because the Brits are still shit scared of this "inferior plane compared to spitfire" even 60 years later so they have to keep an eye on it.

  • @PanterausfG Wow.... lange her das ich so einen Sch***** lesen durfte !

  • @TherealVanquisher

    Danke schon.......arschloch :)

  • @PanterausfG

    Tube.

  • Thank God this video wasn't ruined with crappy music.

  • lol.....db had methanol water injection!

  • mir bleibt die spucke weg, guter klang, tolle bilder...

    einfach nur wunderschön.

  • 109 supercharger whine and the Merlins huge grumble sound great

  • ahh...., just like in the old days, no pushing a button and seeing a puff of smoke at 50 miles away

  • The POWER! The GLORY! Marvelous artifacts, one and all.

  • Fehlt eigentlich nurnoch das bellen der flak wen die da so im tieflug anrauschen ^^

    5*****

  • Amazing sound and picture the G10 is my favorite 109 i love it.

  • Best spitfire video on YouTube

  • Simply fantastic planes! I would like to see one time a Macchi MC202 or MC205 togheter with this two. The Macchi is also a superb plane (and the P51....).

    Thanks for posting this.

  • Oh man, such a beautiful sound.

  • "A tiger and a lion of the sky running side by side and roaring their war chant!"

    Sorry for being pathetic! ;-))

    @gelbevierzehn, thank you for posting

  • I Love that supercharger whistle

  • 109 has a supercharger

  • the bf 109 have a turbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • gooseflash...uwaaahaha.... unbelievable.

  • That Messer sound so cool listen to that turbo ! but the FW 190 was a better maschine,.,.

  • @nightravenonline The 109 doesn't have a turbo ;)

  • Fuckin cool!

  • I personally prefer the sounds of Merlin and Griffon a bit more and I am also a fan of the British and American aircraft.I like the Messerschmitt and a bit more the Focke Wulf. Really great engines, with great sounds. I like to see those two aircraft flying side by side. We have to notice that the advantages of the one were the disadvantages of the other, and vice versa, even in the sounds of their engines. Great aircraft, and deepest respects to the pilots who flew them during WWII.

  • Me 109 the real screaming eagle! That gives me the creeps

  • I'm a big fan of American and British warbirds but I really enjoy seeing German aircraft fly as well. They both certainly have their unique sounds, and both sound amazing!!.. its a shame that some people have negative things to say or inaccurate statements about one or the other based on biased opinions.. Thumbs up to all the restored 'birds.

  • @MK19MODIII

    Very honest commend! You name it!cThank´s MK19MODIII!

  • wow the MEsser have much better sound than the Spit.

  • @nightravenonline :in your opinion!

  • cracking post, that is what a aircraft is supposed to sound like

  • WOW just awesome!

  • 2 beautifull fighters! they wrote history with beauty, horsepower, guns, bullets, and blood,. these magnificient machines carrying great names johnny johnson, eric lock, erich hartmann, günter rall..... no rockets no radar lock,. just the man, the guns, and his mean machine! and today we enjoy those beauty,s!  man! that whistling sound of the 109! great!!

  • The Merlin 61 of the Mark 9 Spit has more mil. power as the DB 605 A of this G10. Only the MW50 System boosted more power out of the 605 for max. 10 Min. Today they operate the remaining DB605 engines never with MW50 and the max. power is also limitied to app. 1300HP.

  • @gelbevierzehn

    But this 109 was propelled by DB 605 D engine, not A model. Larger charger, greater boost, more power. Even out of MW-50 ithe output was larger than with the Merlin of Mk IX.

  • @kotgustaw

    Yes, you're totally right... The "schwarze 2", a converted HA1112, got the standard DB 605 D.

    Thx.. :)

  • @gelbevierzehn The D engines could either be run with B4 Fuel plus MW50 for 1850ps or C3 WITHOUT MW50 for the 1850ps. If you find pics of G-10s from the war you will see the fuel requirement on the side was "C3" (100 octane). The D engine could also be modified to make 2000ps but that required C3 + MW50.. Max continuous on these engines is around 2400 but I'm sure they only run it at 2000 or 2100 to save engine life. Just like the merlins, they don't run at the max 3000 rpm 10 min rating.

  • @zontral

    Hi, I didn't know that.

    I thought they just used C3 for the DB605ASC. I hadn't the DC on my list.. :) thx for your info...

  • Fuel injection has nothing to do with power, you can maybe gain a bit more since its a more even spray to all the cylinders but that has nothing to do with it. All fuel injection gave the DB 605 was the fact it could do Negative G maneuvers without cutting out.

  • @dasgilde still it was not good enough :>(

  • They both sound frikkin awsome TBH

  • The Merlin sounds like a Gentleman. The Daimer-Benz sounds like a dirty bastard.

  • @microbladehaiza

    I think if You would have been from the UK Your comment would be rated minus all over the place by some individuals. I personally like the DB 605, the Jumo211 or the BMW 801 and all its successors. I would love to hear a german fighter with a four blade propeller, the impression is done by the engine, the crescendo however is done by the blades of the propeller.....The whistle from the Me comes from the turbo super charger, the whistle from the Mustang is due to the barrels

  • @grazyarnie

    I was referring to the Mustang cause it got also the Merlin engine. Anyhow, even the P 51 Mustang was designed by a German, raised in a small village near where I live "Hornbach". His name is Edgar Schmued and was born 1899, December, 30th. Well I love the sound of freedom with the Spit and the Mustang, but I love also the sound of the Me109 or FW 190. Unfortunatly these birds fought for the wrong cause, anyhow I love the sound of them

  • @microbladehaiza They both sound good, i can see your setiment though lol.Spit does edge it though..somthing about that purr.

  • che meraviglia.....

  • Was für ein geiler Motorsound,unbeschreiblich!

  • Comment removed

  • Best vid yet awesome sound thank you!

  • I am so grateful for this kind of footage.

    It allows one to enjoy the sights (all angles) and sounds virtually uninterfered.

    I love the DB605 sound. The smoother sound and the supercharger whine make it sound a bit clinical.

    The Merlin sounds raspier, warmer. It shows more obviously that it is a piston powered combustion engine.

    In character almost the opposite of the DB Engine. :-)

  • die 109 war der spuckt feuer überlegen !!! "sieht man doch "

  • nose shot sie by side, the ME 109 looks like a killing machine, Spit looks nice also, ut those oval wings are nasty

  • True. The 109 does look more menacing than the Spitfire. Maybe because of the squarish cockpit frame (pillbox) and the fuselage has a shark like look.

    The Spitfire looks more like a streamlined racing machine than a fighting machine.

  • The ME-109 is sure one of the most beautiful warbirds if you ask me....nice looks with a beautiful sound....but she was not the quickest....the North American P-51...that other beauty...she was the nightmare for the Luftwaffe

  • That 'other beauty came in 6 years lkater than these two, yet these two could still compete and beat he P51 in many areas

  • As I recall, the Luftwaffe did not like Spitfires overmuch either. Or, come to that anything else powered by Merlins in 1940.

  • Wie geil ist das denn?????

  • That is truly remarkable footage.

  • merlin is beutiful

  • That DB-605. . .it just drowns out the sound of the Merlin. . .Talk about BMW POWEEEERRR!!!

  • Nevermind my idiotic post. . .It wasn't made by BMW. . . -.-

  • its closer to the camera

  • Where is this from ?? where and when is it possilbe to see a airshow like this ?

    wow the ME has a good sound, !! very good plane.. better than the spit sad to say

  • how sexy was that

  • Wow, great clip. The sound of the 109's DB is incredible!

  • great vid

  • Madonna!!!!

  • This well good top bit of filming, I know is not nice but it must have been great as a small 10 years old boy in 1940 to see & hear both great planes. Both aircrews on both sides did their best. As on RAF Pilot told me once ( I was shooting down the Plane not the pilot sadly some of my rounds did kill & i'm not proud of that)

  • Oh..how sweet the whistling sound of the

    MB supercharger! Both planes are beauties! However none of them saw action in the summer of 1940, because they weren't built until later on in the war. Thank you for posting.

  • @heel60: Depp.

  • @heel60

    Get in your time machine and travel back to 1940. Permanently.

  • Boooaah! Great!

  • Ahh....now that's music to my ears!

  • Fantastic! ... thanks.

  • They need to hook these planes with the standard accouterments and do a low and fast weapons fly by test.Now that is that would be neat to witness first hand.

  • If i ever make myself a millionaire........

  • L'un des plus beaux films qu'il m'ait été donner de voir, sur ce qui préfigurait de ce que devaient être les dogfights au-dessus de nos campagnes, en France et aussi en Allemagne. Beaux sons caractéristiques du DB et RR Merlin, fallait avoir vraiment un sacré cran surtout du côté des croix noirs en sous nombre, mais courageux jusqu'à leur dernier souffle ;-)

  • such grace yet so chilling as tools of war,

    and the pilots who flew them will always be "Knights of the sky",a fitting tribute

  • Good news is you can tell the difference between the DB 605 and the Merlin. The bad news is by the time you hear the supercharger the bullets are already flying.

  • let me get a shot .....

  • All-the same German pilots flew many more missions than their Allied adversaries,that is why their kill scores are so much higher.

  • Plus Allied pilots were pulled out to train after so much experience.

    German pilots flew until they were dead or hospitalised.

  • Two beautiful warbirds

  • Two beauties side by side

  • Und nochmal 5 Sterne dafür !!!

  • Der Spinner auf der Me schaut grossartig aus ...

  • that DB sounds evil.

  • That is a sweet sweet symphony...
