PAINTING ONE OF OUR SPITFIRES FOR D-DAY 2024
มุมมอง 7887 หลายเดือนก่อน
See how we painted D-Day stripes on BS410 (G-TCHI), one of our Supermarine Spitfire TR9s! We used the original technique of chalking the lines to follow and hand-painting the aircraft recognition stripes with paint brushes. Our Chief Pilot then displayed her in the evening to show off her new scheme. It was a whole team effort and it's important to remember the events of the 6th of June, 1944.

    Great video thank you. My late father often spoke of flying and very similar landing procedure also. He was a Spitfire fighter Ace with 81 Sqn RAF during WW11. He used to say a fighter pilots survival in battle was a matter of "the quick or the dead". RIP. Larry Cronin Jnr

    As a kid growing up in the US I've always considered the Mustang my favorite WWII fighter. However, a Mustang can't hold a candle to the curves and complex flowing lines of a Spitfire. Particularly one so clean and polished those lines are glorious.

    Bader soloed in a Spitfire in late 1939, very likely a Mk 1a or an early Mk 2a There were no two seat trainer versions and he did his pre training in the North American Harvard. In 1946 he had been flying various Mks for over 6yrs.

    What a great experience this is. When you look out the window and see a Spitfire forming up it's an incredible feeling. A spitfire is a beautiful aircraft on the ground but when it is next to you in formation it's elegance is perfectly demonstrated.

    Such beautiful aeroplanes, their sound is music to my ears. But my eyes watered unheeded on 80th D-Day, knowing why these beauties came to be. It's one thing to watch a movie about D-Day, it's another entirely to hear an old man who, when just a teenager was there, jumping into seawater with hundreds of others, hearing bullets whistling past him & hit the man slightly off side in front of him, fold over & sink under the weight of his kit. If the bullet hadn't killed him, the sea would. What do those few surviving people think about the people & countries that they were fighting for, what do they think of us now?
