    The early evening backlight makes this extraordinary airshow look like a beautiful painting.
  • Wonderful. They should write this into the public constitution that all these classic historical aircraft should be kept flying for as long as possible as a recognition to our heritage.
  • Amazing & Beautiful Machines ! Never so Many owed so much to so few! 👏👏👏

    The sight and sound of the might Spitfires taking off from a grass field in groups one after the other, that goes to the soul. It brought tears to my eyes knowing that this was but a taste of what the squadrons entering into the Battle of Britain looked and sounded like. That Merlin sound, the growl of freedom not willing to succumb to the fascist onslaught of Hitler. Not knowing if they would come back or not, those brave souls, most likely scared half to death but knowing that their cause was just, their fight righteous, and if it came to be, their sacrifice would not be in vain, for their brothers and sisters in arms would carry the fight on, ensuring freedom would prevail. Then, the whole flight of Spitfires coming over, incredible, absolutely incredible.

    Brilliant audio, absolutely fantastic!
  • Wat a beautiful airplane and the sound ove the merlin engine is incredible
  • Imagine hundreds of spitfires and supermarines, along with P-51's escorting Lancasters and B-17's!

    Very, very spine tingling, what a sound, shame my lap-top even with headphones doesn't do this justice. This is a taster for what the sensation must have been back in the day, but then it was life or death and a daily or even hourly struggle. Somehow this "squadron" just seems to bring the sight and sound at least much closer, WOW!

    Also thanks to whoever captured this event on video.
  • Wenn es auch Feindmaschinen waren so ist es trotzdem schön sie in einem derart gepflegte Zustand fliegen zu sehen, mögen sie noch lange ihre Runden drehen Viele Grüße und viel Glück aus Deutschland.
