[Joeaviation1712]

[jackandamber]

Im a fighter pilot f 18 My hat is off to this pilot.

[torquesport]

[spottydog4477]

[stawoj]

Excellent video

[buidseach]

and to think it first flew in 1943

[eddie100]

My Dad flew the Vampire in the "50's especially around Scotland. Mum and Dad met there. Point the Vampire down in a dive and Dad did the sound barier, all the time! And the Northern Lights were a sight to behold when flying. British and Russian jets were so close when flying they held up cardboard signs saying, " Hello Ivan" & "Hello Tommy", and they could each read them.The friendly sky's.

[gabrielgef9]

what a great pilot, and a fantastic war bird

[xoio]

Wierd... The high speed approaches almost sound like a merlin or something.. until the jet passes & it sounds like a jet again..

[veijokesseli]

I think it just can't get better than this...

[wullu5]

Fantastic video of a great old bird!

Right there at 1:25 you would almost swear there was a RR Merlin powering her from the sound!

[mookins45]

I want one!

[Cabocodera1]

Excelente video muy bien logrado, y sobretodo con el audio original, no como en otros videos que le ponen una musica horrible.

[xfire7]

Nice to see an old parafin burner flown as they were back in the day!

[AVMamfortas]

I remember them well, at Oakington, 1962. Sgt Pilots back then.

[phadil]

How much for one of these?

[loflyerz7]

"i remember them flying as a boy back in the 40's."

OMG.....must have been the worlds first transformers! aircraft which can fly as boys.

is there a video of that?

[welfers]

Love the Vampires distinct sound

[quinnMAD1]

superb

[Natemire]

This has always been one of my favorite jets, it's like a meteor and a p-38 collided on a drawing board. Just a beautiful little thing.

[12347bbc]

MY ears just had an orgasm 

[kylepilot747]

@12347bbc

LOL! thats a good one!

[TheGreatFlyer]

That's called a LOW pass!

[RortyCorty]

Wow that thing looks nimble in the air! And to think how old it is!

[gketchup777]

OMG it sounds like a Spitfire combined with an A-10A!! Super sexy sound :)

[RangelSotero]

I guess I'm a little crazy...altough I know it's a jet engine, the sound from 0:53 to 0:55 seems a bit similar to a piston engine to me! O.o [a P-51, for example] not the whole sound, just a part of it [I don't know how to explain, but it's what I think]

[kraist14]

you're right when you say it

[RangelSotero]

@kraist14 1:09 - 1:13, 1:25 - 1:28 and 2:29 - 2:31 too; at 1:45, the sound is already like a normal jet.

[daltonultra]

@RangelSotero You're probably thinking of the sound of a turbocharged aviation motor. Turbos make a high-pitched scream a lot like a jet engine. In fact, you can even make a primitive jet turbine out of a turbocharger.

[chaosopher23]

I heard the piston sound, too, and it's either an artifact of digital recording or it's a chugging of the jet engine itself, an oscillation in the combustion chamber.

[SeptemberFury]

The Vampire is fitted with a Turbine close to the front of the intakes. The so called piston engine sound your hearing is the fan blade turning at the speed of sound giving off a distinct humming noise, hense the piston engine type noise.

[RangelSotero]

@SeptemberFury That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation! :-)

[silverbird58]

fine machine / great flyby / hats off to the pilot..

[justforever96]

LOL, look at the guy plug his ears at 2:27! I guess I don't blame him, but why would you want to block that wonderful noise out?

[kraist14]

i don't know about this plane, but a while ago i was at a air show. and when the f-16 started up like 500 meters away, my tummy was shaking! damn loud! and i had plugs in my ears too

[justforever96]

Now that WAS a cool video! =) Love, love, love them old turbojets. Such a cool sound. This guy is good too; that pull-out hed does after 1:50 looks like some pretty damn high G's! Somehow, if I coul have a jet fighter, it would be an old 1950's style one, where they were still just really fast WWII fighters. No crazy computer systems or radar or $1,000,000 missiles, just guns and brass balls! ;)

[jonesy97]

He's up there having a lot more fun than us. Great video, and what a treat to see one of these classic first jets of the RAF.

[lovemorembigi]

The sound of freedom in the 1950's. Awesome video!!!

[toonmag50]

supa doopa- I love the shape of the Vampire

[Thejirka64]

OK!!!!!

[cumbrianaviation]

Nice video, thanks for posting :-)

[hcsgtrplayer1]

Sweet post!

[fishabenny]

Thanks for uploading that. It was great!!

[Ahuxley68]

Er bare så flott. Savner Ellingsen i sin DH Vampire

[terencehaydn]

Excellent video,the flying is superb my congrats to the skilled pilot.I remember them flying as a boy back in the 40's

[intertr0ns]

Great video. Fantastic audio!!!

[Martin716]

i love the whistling sound of the old turbojet-engines!

[justforever96]

@Martin716 I always thought if it as more of a scream than a whistle! But I agree, love the sound. LOL, I just noticed the RC Vampire on the ground next to those kids! That's like me as a kid. Well...technically I guess I still have toy planes. You just call them "models" when you get older, because adults don't play with toys, right? LOL.

[Martin716]

Well "justforever96", the difference between men and boys is the size of their toys. =)

[soccermanrolando209]

MAN THAT WAS SWEET. GREAT VIEWS.

[BloodPlzKThnxLol]

At 1:20 he got pretty low.

[Yaghnam]

Great vid! Love those vintage jets. Thanks for posting.

[sgttaurus]

very well filmed thanks

[Sneak693]

i want one

[perberge]

Faen det flyet der og dxen flyginga er så rå.

Blir helt satt inn i en filmsetting av Vietnam krigen bare ved lyden.

[johnnyjet33030]

That was a beautiful, masterful display flown by Øivind . Very smooth and precise. Well done.

Makes me miss my Vampires, but the gas even than was hard to support. Today, forget it.

[johnnyjet33030]

He had to land, probably out of gas after those low passes. (600 gph low level, about 300 hi/low) )Not all wood, just the nose section is resin impregnated balsa-basically the first composite like the mosquito which had more wood. I used to have 2 DH-35 two seat Aussie vampires. They had the toe brakes instead of the air biasing system. They are beautiful aircraft to fly-so smooth and responsive.

[xerocytesteve]

Great video and sound, a classic aircraft!

[intertr0ns]

GReat vid!!!

[dokomana]

Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing!

[sgtgrech]

Excellent Video ... Thanks for posting : )

[strontiumdog262]

really nice vid. Majestic

[mjok2004]

They are an all timber construction too if I remember correctly

[ridedirtba]

she's got a good sound.

[tiff5355]

FANTASTIC

[henriquecsouza]

Thank you so much for not putting any music along with this. The sound of this aircraft is musical enough. Five stars. =)

[TheArchieBell]

Beautiful Video of a really great air display. Nice to see such a powerful show by this pilot in a beautifully maintained Vampire. Great posting! Takes me back fifty years to Leuchars Scotland!

[deiligfranorge1]

i am sexy for me

[Xeretza]

so ugly.

[Ahuxley68]

I have seen Ellingsen in his Vampire a lot of times. The aeroplane is now grounded. It is expensive to keep the old birds flying. Good luck to Øyvind Ellingsen and his new projects!

[wapac]

the vampire says " i am here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. and i am all out of bubblegum.."

[sufa256]

Amazing I wish I was there !

[gringoooox]

well done piece of balsa wood

[Bruisercruiser74]

Real? Oh yeah. It just missed being flown by the RAF during WWII. I believe it was the second operational British Jet right behind the Meteor. It was very maneuverable and would have torn apart the ME-262s had the war gone on long enough.

[PRICEANDYP]

Top quality video - beautiful close-ups and not ruined by crappy music. Well done.

[sherlock72]

I couldn´t agree more....great sound

[mig25pd]

I agree also - pretty aeroplane froma great era. Good shots and no music. 5 stars.

[Hellafireleli]

look at my video.i go the vampire and meteor flying side by side!!!

[tweetingsparrow]

Very nicely done, both flying and filming.

[bycel]

Ohh, that SOUND!  Vzzzzrrroumsssss

[jfpal0035]

flippin' awsome stick and rudder all the way!

[snetterton88]

Great to see,he was really throwing it about!

[Gruntol5]

Marvellous to see 50/60 year old British jets being flown in such a sprited fashion. Hats off to all those involved! Great filming.

[MPZRACEVIDEO]

Nice made video...nice jet
