There's nothing in the sky more beautiful than a Spitfire that isn't a living creature. Raptors and songbirds can beat it for beauty -- absolutely nothing else can.
Reminds me of a clip from a black and white doco on the Spitfire. 'Young boys could look up and confidently say 'it'a Spit!'.😊 In it's element!. That sound of the engine going flat stick!. Bril! Nuff said.
A beautiful, deadly lady warrior with the heart of a Lion, the sword against the darkness, respect for those men and ladies who gave us freedom and for those who made the ultimate safice, god's finest warriors ❤❤❤❤.
OOOOHHHHH !!!!!! That PACKARD Merlin does sing its song F R E E D O M !!!!!! The MkXVI was a MkIX with the PACKARD MERLIN engine Made in the USA 1,040 built !!!
Not very quick down here 325 mph but it did have a great C/R 4650 ft/min It may have been the Packard The LF MkVIII 362 mph @S/L CR 5580 ft/min @S/L MS gear 5100ft/min @11000ft FS gear
VictorRomeo Sorry old bead but the Lancasters did not use that version of the Merlin, ALL Lancasters used the Merlin 20 series SINGLE stage supercharged engine, This $hitfire used the PACKARD, made in USA 266 merlin it a 2 stage supercharged engine !!!! DUUUUHH!!!!!!
@@topbanana4013 WRONG !!!! WRONG !!!! ALL F'n WRONG !!!! Mustang was 30 MPH FASTER than a merlin $hitfire !!!!The engine in this plane The PACKARD 266 was more similar to PACKARDS V1650/3 0r 7 than to then RR version !!!
If you think that's low look up Ray Hannah he has one video he's almost cutting the grass, the commentator on it really crapped himself and other flying under an old stone bridge across a river
@@petersmith7126 funnily enough when I shared that video with pals I called it "lawnmowing for millionaires"! (you do mean the one with Alan de Cadenet swearing, yes?)
Spitfire Best low flying plane of all the WW2 planes Regardless of engine Wilbur

Beautiful…, that donkey
Love that V12 sound
What a beautiful showoff he is.
Haircut sir 😆?
WHAT AN AIRCRAFT! John P.
Ray Hannah would have mowed the grass with that pass….🤣🤣
Tacka tacka tacka tacka tack!
Who was the pilot? Got to be Ray Hanna surely?

Magnificent 🤩
Beautiful aircraft, music in the air, best low pass display I’ve seen
Look up the one where a tv reporter comes SOOOO CLOSE to getting a haircut and the FRIGHT of his life "Fuck me.Fuck me. Fuck me!!!" 🤣🤣🤣
Fabulous, thank you.
That has to be one of the best bits of flying i have seen. Looks to be a late mark spit [4 cannon] Griffon engine.
This beautiful sound loud through surround sound is beyond amazing 😁
I have no words ,, ? Just beautiful..❤❤❤

The wings haven't been clipped. Excellent!
fliegt er einen immelmann?
What a beast!
Oh that snarl. nothing like it, and when you hear 4 of those going on the Lancaster - my goodness what a sound

Is flying directly over spectators still allowed, I thought that was banned many years ago.
I think it depends where you are.
Has sound all of its own Merlin magic . Perfection marvellous aeroplane.
PACKARD VERSION !!!
Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear a Spitfire.
Irresponsible flying. The manoeuvre at 0:45 was especially dangerous.
There’s joy on engine sounds like that. ❤️
I think I've busted my speakers.....
Nothing sounds quite like a merlin engined spitfire. It makes the hairs stand up on the back my neck.
chriss Especially when the Merlin was made in AMERICA by PACKARD !!!!
@@wilburfinnigan2142 The Packard was NOT as good Wilbur That supercharger was heavier and not as efficient
Excellent flying such a beautiful testament on how nimble that plane was turns on a dime
strangely enough it was still faster then the 1944 p51D Mustang with same engine fitted. that's crazy

@@wilburfinnigan2142 No need for the theatrics Wilbur I would suspect you are correct because the Packard could not take 18lbs Boost and above
Best soundtrack ever….
Poetry 👌
Hmmm Not sure which is more beautiful..The Spitfire , The P51 D and E series The Corsair or the P40 E Just amazing aircraft
Ooooooh the best sound in the world . The finest engine in the most beautiful aircraft ever built .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
johndymond That Mk $hitfire had the AMERICAN made by PACKARD 266 merlin !!!! SURPRISED ???? you ought to be !!!
What a treat from WWIIs' most iconic aircraft of FREEDOM!! 😊👍
Brits made a beautiful warbird back then but I'm more amazed by the pilot’s flying skills flying that low wow!😮

Looks and sounds great.
Oh that sweet sweet sound, nothing like it and oh so distinctive. Magical.
Fantastic - and that sound - modern planes dont sound like that.
Rüdiger nicht so tief!!
I bet many babies were born 9 months after this display.
The best is yet to come? Nah you just seen and heard it
Just superb 😊
Best sound, I agree....but the 109 was the most beautiful to me.
Speed it up!!!
