Spitfire pilots get the pots and pans out I'm ready to duck.
 

Not a COD video so I'll put it in here. Yes that's me I had to do it quick while the museum guys back was turned.

And yet you covered up probably the most appealing aspect of the 109, the sound of its turbocharger, with crappy mood music. Shame on you.

Great vintage footage and stills. From any angle the 109 looks lethal and beautiful -- and I'm a Spitfire-fanatic saying this!

Bleh.

Given teh choice between flying a 109 and and a 190 and I'll take the 109 every time.

However, given the choice between flying a 109 and a Gloster Gladiator and I'll take the Gladiator every time.

But you boys just carry on with your Luftwhining, it's always entertaining.

:cool:

You're lucky I'm not a Death Rocker.

S!

Bf109 is one helluva good looking plane with Fw190. ElAurens, keep your Gladiator we have the only airworthy Gloster Gauntlet here :D

Don't know what's more scary, the 109 or the music :)

Shame on you for not using your brain

compare for yourselve...
 

I love both planes...
And that from a strict 109 flyer :)

Let us "hear" it... And @scotchegg: You are so right...

Exactly. That's why I picked it. It's from "Return To Castle Wolfenstein". Never played it but used the soundtrack quite a few times. That one's called "Ravaged Town".

Spirfires sounded lush

Without doubt the single most beautiful aircraft ever built.
Cool vid.

:) Yes a beautiful sound,both my videos hope you like them :) turn the volume up.

WOW... excellent stuff!! Especially the second one...
What a pitty, that Black 6 is now static.

Thx a lot for sharing.. :grin:

You guys had all the cool planes!

A really mean that. I think the FAF was by far the most interesting air force operating during WW2, with the Nationalist Chinese a close second.

You did so much with so little.

i don´t know why, but 109´s sound of the turbocharger always sends a shiver down my spine, that´s just nasty.

only they they no turbocharger(fw190c had one)

supercharger, yes.

Praising the glorious 109, yet the only gunsight camera footage you posted was taken by the 190. :mrgreen: That was some impressive beating those four cannons could deliver. I understand. It's ok to be jealous and show it as Bf-109 footage. http://forums.ubi.com/images/smilies/34.gif

The 109 was the Spitfire of the Germans. Posing for photo ops, while the Focke Wulf, like the Hurricane/Typhoon for the brits, did the hard work.:-P

thats what i meant actually :oops:

I like Hurricanes... It's a sexual perversion?

I stick with Spits but saw the ME109's in flight at Duxford, they were stunning and up close even more so. I would never argue which is the better because much depends on the pilot.

109 sexiest than the spit, in performance is up to the pilot
i always will pic a 109 when there's no 190 in the hangar

Easy mistake to make, with the centrifugal compressor it sounds much more like a turbo charger than a typical mechanical blower. What a loverly noise!

I have to admit that I'm flying the Spit mostly in Clod, but once the Friedrich comes along, you'll need a crowbar to pry me out of the cockpit.

From a German newsreel so there's really no way of knowing. Looking at that 9 minute guncam movie you're right though. I'm sure a 109 with one 30 mm could do the same thing.
