16 Spitfires @ Duxfords Battle of Britain 70th Anniversary Show

Sixteen Spitfires fly at Duford for the Battle Of Britain air show marking the 70th anniversry of the battle. OK, its not the best footage I've ever shot, my only excuse is that the place was packed and I was half drunk.

Great! The Sitfire is one of the most elegant warbirds and the Merlin has a wonderfull voice!...and yes...sorry i´m German ;-)

@Fritztoons Nothing wrong with being German. The Spitfires wouldnt have had anything to shoot at had it not been for the Luftwaffe. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@MrBige68 Hi there, thanks for watching and commenting. Seeing these planes up close and personal really is quite an emotional experience. It really does make the hairs on your neck stand to attention - thats fact, not a cliche. And as you say, respect to all air and ground crew. Thanks again.

[Hanglands]

@crazyfox564 Hey, if you can get to Flying Legends this year, I'll meet you at the beer tent, and we'll put your theory to the test - and have a great time finding out. thanks for watching and commenting.

@isaacrimor Do you mean "This is adult male cattle. The Russians won the World Wide Web"? Because thats what your comment implies. Or do you mean "this is rubbish. The Russians won the second world war"? Either way, your comment makes no sense, who's talking about the second world war? This is air show footage.

What a superb and awesome vid! Although I am not British, I take my hat before those heroic pilots and crews that stood up to fight the Luftwaffe in the summer of 1940. Thanks for posting!

@Fritztoons Engine sound does not have a language, it is music to the ears.

@Hanglands

No, you are right. I´m fine to be a German. Just whant to stop "i´m from that Nation and our planes where the best, etc." ;-) We should "digest" all these birds as some kind of technical artwork. No matter what coat of arms. My suggestion....

[geekintheperimeter]

Just love how they greese the landings.... damn good pilots

[garden2010city]

When I see so many great planes flying as one in formation with their sweet roaring engines I think pilots in the cockpits could feel real pride of being part of that.I would feel like a master of the world
