Supermarine Spitfire Engine Start Oshkosh EAA AirVenture 2007 2007 28 July, 2007

Alert ground crews prevented a problem seconds before this was filmed. A ground operations manager was conferring with the team making sure the prop was clear. As the manager went to drive away, he drove into the area of the prop arc. The team immediately shouted out to the pilot to stop his engine start sequence.

"Missed him by this much, chief!"

  • @jardamuth The best plane in ww2 and still it is Greetings from Croatia

  • pure horsepower and torque, period. I saw a tractor pull years ago and 1 tractor had a WWII aircraft v-12 engine on it.  The low toned roar was incredible, it easily outpulled tractors with 4 big block v-8's.

  • That might not be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat but the Merlin can certainly make a magical sound.

  • @jardamuth I'd take the merlin over a V8 any day!

  • I love this sound!!

  • The Griffon was awsome but nothing can beat the sound of a Merlin. Its the finest engine ever made!

  • @jardamuth .... yeah tell that too charlie broomfield ,hes done that got the T shirt ,with his amazing "ROVER " , LOOK IT UP ,lazy fucking yanks :)

  • @axewolfjack i belive the bearcat may of saw action in korea but the french used it in the war in Vietnam in the 50s i may be wrong

  • Only problem with that theory is that the bearcat never saw action.

  • @axewolfjack The F8F Bearcat was the best hands down. Nothing could turn with it, or out climb it
