I was treated to a tour of the heritage hangar at Biggin Hill for my birthday. An absolutely amazing experience for anyone who has a passion for these aircraft.. the highlight was being allowed to sit in one...as I settled in to the seat I felt the tears just roll down my face... It is impossible to describe. I swear I could feel all those who had sat in her all those years ago. It was an honour, privilege and as someone else mentioned, it is the most beautiful killing machine ever built. Please, if you are in the uk, it is worth the trip to Kent to support their work. Priceless for the memory and to smell the cockpit is just intoxicating. I cannot thank and admire all who flew in the war enough... you brave brave men and women. Thankyou.
I'm a pilot and the first model I built as a child was the Spitfire. Never got to fly one but I did get to sit in the cockpit of one at Reno a few years ago and I was very surprised at how cramped the cockpit was and how poor the forward visibility is while on the ground. I looked at the CAF pilot and told him I thought I could fly it and he said sure you could, now get out.
I was born near kenley aerodrome in Surrey it was one of the airfields used in the Battle of Britain and through the war ,and as kids we used to roam around the empty barrack buildings ,and later when it was used as a base for glider pilots a spitfire was placed at the gate as a memorial and most days I walked past it ,,now I get to fly in one what an amazing sound ,
Its something mythical that so few of these craft managed to halt a tidal storm of tyranny from crashing down on Britain. They were the first to stop Hitlers advance from ever pushing forward.
If you were a Luftwaffe pilot unlucky enough to be shot down...it was always a spitfire that got them. there was a certain snobbery being hit by a spitfire and not a hurricane even though there were far more Hurricanes in the Battle of Britain period......
It's a priviledge to watch an aircraft such as this being displayed... thank you. I equally enjoy more dynamic displays where they are permitted. As long as the pilot has regard for power issues/sensible use of energy, these displays can be equally as safe.
You have, without doubt, the best job on the face of God's green earth. The closest i've got so far was chatting to Caroline Grace on the apron of my flight training school at Leeds Bradford where ML407 was parked for the night. That and closing my eyes whilst solo in a C172 and just dreaming for a moment..
I found that quite exciting, I had a ride in the back seat of a Mustang trainer once and you could not imagine how loud that engine is if you have not been there yourself, a 15 min ride was plenty, the young guys must have felt like jelly after a bomber escort run. Just like in this video, the half throttle rate of climb is astounding, pity my pilot was not allowed to give it the message and crank it right up.
4:33 Looking at that mirror, I think of Bob DeFord talking about his homebuilt Mark IX and the mirror he made for it, because Spitfires *have* to have mirrors, right? He said, "I love it! It's round, it's perfect. I haven't seen any Focke Wulfs in it, but I'm lookin' ".
Que privilegio habrá sido para un tipo de 20 y tantos poder disfrutar de esa máquina , lástima que muchos tuvieron que matar o morir . Pero qué buena experiencia debe ser.
999 777 Well, today 19 and 20 year old’s drive F1 cars too so... but I get what you mean. Imagine living in an era without flying simulators, only the real thing and almost no margin for errors when it comes to safety. Aviators live in a privileged era nowadays.
The Brits built the best airplane ever created. Even the P-51 would be noting if it didn't have a British engine. I always get a lump in my throat when I see and hear a "Spit".
I'm from Lincoln in the UK. We're used to sound of Merlins here and cherish every second we hear them! Throughout summer I often have the BBMF (Battle of Britain Memorial Flight) fly somewhere nearby which will be the Lancaster Spitfire and Hurricane. beautiful flight, please look after her.
You could get a nice gaming PC, MSFS 2020, a VR unit and the payware Spitfire that's being shown off all over the place on the platform. The same 3 grand but you could do it whenever you want at just the cost of the electricity. XD
What a plane makes me proud to be British.The only thing that does these days.We had the spitfire you guys had the Mustang.What a team.Thank you so much 🇬🇧🇺🇸Forever grateful.
If it wasn't for Britain bastardizing a P-51A by dumping the Allison engine, lengthening the Engine cowling/mount, then adding the Rolls Royce engine, the 51 would have been a low level reconnaissance plane and no one would have know what it was today. By adding the Rolls Royce, we (alliance) had a thoroughbred. The Rolls Royce was later produced under license by Packard in the states being called the Merlin. Now we (alliance) had one hell of a fighter. The Spitfire saved Great Britain and the 51 stormed Germany. Thank you Great Britain for everything!
Amazing video! The closest experience I will ever have to fly a Spit. British engineering at its best for that time, this tiny plane saved the day together with the Hurricane. A great demonstration of stability is the testimony for a great shooting platform. Congratulations to all those who maintain this plane. Thank you.
I see a spitfire being flown over my head many times a month. It’s flying from Headcorn Airfield in Kent with a paying passenger (they do look ugly with that 2nd seat). I know it way before I see it because of the sound of that engine. It makes my day every time. When watching this wonderful clip, my thoughts turn to the pilots of so many nations (British, Polish, Czech, Aussie, Kiwi, Canadian, American to name a few) who also took off like this but never to return.
Brilliant plane, brilliant footage to experience the thrill of flying this icon of WW2 that gives a glimpse of flying her yourself !! Thank you to all involved for making this possible !!!
I'm grateful we have people who respect history and put the time and effort in to keep these machines in good working order so we can enjoy them as well. Thanks for the upload.
So basically there is this (awesome) video titled "Flying the Spitfire... Helmet Cam" and there are 45 peoples (as for may 2019) who dislike it. What did they expect ? Were they like: "nice am gona see a gold digging unicorn... oh crap that's some freaking loser plane, thumb down.
goofyfoot2001 is casting his hook out...Everyone knows that the U-boats didn't need SatNav because they used their terrain following radars on the surface of the sea. :-)
I am baffled by your statement, there where NO satellites in WW2 they did not have rockets capable of launching into space or computers back then and no one had invented microchips for use in computers.
David Hadfield is a Canadian singer/songwriter, author, wilderness adventurer, classic-boat sailor and historic aircraft pilot. He is also the brother of Canadian astronaut Chris hadfield . Had the privilege of working on the Y2K Spitfire as well as the P51 of mike potters collection. Its niece to see this aircraft finally take to the air after years of restoration.
neighborscomplaint The Merlin was NOT perfect, it lacked an adequet oil pump, and strong enough con rods and untill the Bendix pressure carb used cut out in a quick bunt into a dive, and it was a maintainence nightmare !!!! not perfect but "Good enough"... Packard solved the oil problem, larger volume/pressure oil pump and Bendix pressure carb plusa few other "Improvements !!!
Thank you for showing what a real pattern looks like. I have seen so many fly out there for miles ( literally) and it's infuriating. I was taught that a pattern size is governed by if you loose your engine you should be able to get onto the airport. Being that it is a beautiful Spitfire made it all the more enjoyable.
I really liked that. That was great. I was waiting for a barrel roll but I don't fly a 4.5 million dollar Spitfire so I forgive you. I do fly a 5 thousand dollar hang glider but hey.. ;-)
Very young men took these machines up and risked their lives to protect their homeland and ultimately the course of Western civilization. They are true knights of the sky.
My father, Lt John Hogan, DFC, 2 Squadron, SAAF, flew Mk IX's in combat in the Italian campaign. It was great to see what he would have experienced in flying Spitfires.
Exactly the video I was looking for. How amazing are these war machines. Does anyone know the time it took to complete manufacturing of these from design conception? i figure they were rushed out.
With what an ease do you fly ! ... all kudos to Mr. Dave Hadfield. All the details from the cockpit we show that Spitfire is maintained with expertise and love,also ,a quality film-making... calm and stable helmet cam ...Appreciate to ASV.
Why do WWII fighters at airshows not do a flat 360 turn? Most jets do this to show off the turn radius, and it just gives a really good, prolonged look at the plane. WWII fighters seem to just do a series of flyby's with a little bit of a turn in there somewhere. I hear a lot of people throwing around numbers regarding the turn abilities of WWII fighters. It would be great to see it first hand.
@@Kryptiik TrackIr is a device that kids use when playing computer games so they can pretend to fly an aeroplane. Presumably "centering" it is an activity related to that.
WW2 occurred a few years before I was born. But I met dozens of true Combat Veterans throughout my childhood and teen years! Of poor health myself, I have never served. BUT, to this very day, I never miss an opportunity to met, shake hands with and THANK each and every Vet I can! The men and women who served back then (my Mother-in-law was a lady Marine!) truly were Americans GREATEST GENERATION! And God Bless every one!
who else used to dream about flying one of these as a child. I still do now to be honest. The sound of the engine and the way the spitfire looks are just amazing. Such a wonderful feat of engineering and craftsmanship. If I was super rich I would own two of these. One for me and one for my brother. Rigged up with lazer tagging guns. For fun. With sound effects too.
What a display! this is how to fly such a precious, historic, beautiful vintage aircraft. No need for loops, rolls and chandelles, just to see her in the air, spot on!! Superb piloting!!! Thank you!!!!

The spitfire and hurricane was the first fighters that stopped the German Luftwaffe
Its something mythical that so few of these craft managed to halt a tidal storm of tyranny from crashing down on Britain. They were the first to stop Hitlers advance from ever pushing forward.
The hurricane never gets it's due credit though.
If you were a Luftwaffe pilot unlucky enough to be shot down...it was always a spitfire that got them. there was a certain snobbery being hit by a spitfire and not a hurricane even though there were far more Hurricanes in the Battle of Britain period......
The Hurricane did most of the work in the BoB yet you rarely see people appreciate it. Both aircraft were amazing.
@@thatoneguy7451 Even the Luftwaffe pilots boasted of being shot down by Spitfires, not the Hurricane ...more quedos amongst one piers.
Thanks for let me ride with you. Fantastic and fascinating this flight. Greets from Germany.:)
No aerobatics were allowed. This was required to be just a flyby display.
A great memory though. Thanks for editing it together.
I was thinking a bit tame, but thanks to your comment I now know why.
It's a priviledge to watch an aircraft such as this being displayed... thank you. I equally enjoy more dynamic displays where they are permitted. As long as the pilot has regard for power issues/sensible use of energy, these displays can be equally as safe.

The Spitfire is like an E type Jaguar, and I own a FHC and an OTS.
Your Spitfire looks funny with the cannons on your wings and no gunsight.
I really hope one day I can buy a full scale replica of a spitfire that can fly the 370mph speed it was designed for.
I would pay a limb to fly in a Spitfire. So awesome.
Be like Douglas Bader

This is every boy’s dream.

That's not a Merlin engine...
Like taking a world-class dressage horse and putting it through basic walk/trot/canter transitions; still cool to watch.
That would be awesome. I just got the supermarine spitfire in mfs 2020 and ever since I got good at flying it, I can't stop.
Your used to the sound of Merlins you say and your from Lincoln you must live near Guy Martin.
I feel like I have finally been in a Spitfire. Thanks for posting.
You can go up in a 2 seater but it's expensive, around £3k for 20mins.
