I thought you meant that he had other reviews on this forum that you were basing your decision on ![]() ![]() ![]() the other thread had arguments being made that he was a tool for not mentioning its good flight characteristics compared to the spit but he wasn't reviewing flight, it seemed to me that he was just reviewing the cockpits only ![]() I am going to try and search youtube for the whole show it seems to be just two clips of a longer show maybe that will give me more incite into his credentials. ![]() |

![]() Superb flying and superbly elegant machine. There's something quite romantic and gentle about the forms of a Spitfire that always fascinated me. |

![]() All those old warbirds to me just seem so magestic. I cant really put my finger on it....... maybe its just aircraft and flying for me in general lol but WWII in piticular. You got me searching 109 vids on youtube after this thread and i found this one of someone walking around what looks like a museum pre restoration yard of some sort followed by a flight demo of what looks like DB 109 (could be wrong i don't know the different types by sight that well) any way i could not help but think about walking around where the camera is in the first part of the video ALL DAY LONG!! just tracing the lines of the skin of the aircraft with my finger tips and smelling that classic war bird smell of the cockpit and getting chills thinking about what it felt like to climb into the cockpit combining both your excruciating love for flying such planes with your fear of being destroyed and never having that feeling again every time you left the ground......... it just blows me away ![]() ![]() |

Yeah,there's a lot of flying forms,but nothing like vintage planes and warbirds: several members here have flown or regularly fly with vintage types and will tell you the same
![]() I recently had the luck to see the Red Bull P-38 fly,and man,what an incredibly elegant sexy thing it was! Got some really wicked shots of it ![]() and yes, the 109 in the video is actually a genuine Emil, originally an E1, upgraded to E4 after the BoB one of the very few Battle of Britain veterans left, which was piloted by Marseille (with which he shot down a Spitfire) and subsequently sent to Russia, where it was abandoned and recovered in a swamp.

I remember the programme very well It's 'Spitfire' part of the UK Channel 4 Equinox series (I had it on video up until a couple of years back). The 109 is a G2 which became well known as 'Black 6' it was captured in North Africa in 1942. http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/london/c...k%206'.pdf The pilot is Paul Day who was OC of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight: http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/arc...p?t-18274.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_...emorial_Flight Probably not a 'tool' Regards Mike |
