My take..The Kraut gun emplacement fire gravely hit/damaged his ethelyne glycol cooling system badly. As he's exhausting his glycol, big ol' Merlin is heating up by the seconds. No glycol, engine heats up to point of seizure. No 'fan' up front, no thrust..These fighters glide like rocks!!.. Glad to have a happy ending here, making it to the runway, albeit left main gear shot out!! A lot of other pilots weren't so lucky! Good video, as stated earlier..
@Sam Burkes Wouldn’t the other pilots have told him about the plane burning glycol And to head for home ? Were they strafing to cover him as he made his runs ?
It's like you read my mind I was planning on Doing A Short Battle Of Britain movie and then you made this masterpiece and uploaded it! I'm working on the transcripts for mine right now.
Love unique stories of ground fire vs aircraft, and this was superb, many thanks!! Would love a book of stories, but, based on the ground weapon details, as in depth as the airplanes they shot down, as well as how attack aircraft destroyed them.
Upper wing roundels are incorrect on these later Mk Spitfires...RAF upper wing roundels were red circle superposed within a larger blue circle. These are what wouldve been viewed fr. below. Good video, though..Excellent..Quite realistic..War is Hell!
This might sound weird, but you voice is almost to calm for these videos. TJ3, “ This spitfire just killed someone. Hurray.” Your videos are awsome. Keep up the good work.

The storytelling makes everything better
That was great, and reminds me of the day I ran out of fuel in my VW and coasted into a petrol/gas station. :)
The true talent in this video is the story telling. When the full length feature comes out, put me on the list for some of the first tickets. Epic.
where did the other 3 go ? did they not help each other out on the bombing mission?

Very cool! Hope it comes out nice
What we learn from this is that it is better to be a nobody at the top than a somebody on the ground.
He's a historian and a gamer
Yes, good one..but as said, for authenticity, needs to correct upper wing roundels on that Mk Vlll Spitfire. Great vid..!
Great video
Spitfires never used A/G rockets, to my knowledge. Mustang yes - Typhoon yes - Hurricane yes.
Impressive ! Without broking ! great. and the landing ! Thank you simply.
As there are no D Day markings on the plane, I don’t know what friendly lines he’s heading for.
Ooh Spit Mk.19

Spitfires can’t hold bombs
Please use subtitles.
