What this video need is that turret shooting down something.

Nice video thanks

nice clip but the Defiants were about as useless in the Battle of Britain as the whole Italian Airforce!

[Rickusty]

Great video, as always.
Love the Defiant... but what a massacre!

Cheers

IIRC, the Defiant's didn't do so badly in their first few combats when they were attacked from astern. They only started to suffer serious losses when the LW responded by using attacks from ahead or beneath where they were hopeless. The Me-110 in the video makes stern attacks and probably wouldn't have had such an easy job IRL.

It's still a wonderfully daft aircraft. I really wish it was a flyable.

To may knowledge, the "day of glory" of the Daffy over Dunkirk was mosstly due to overclaiming and not running into too many fighters.

I would really like to see a clip of the Daffy in it's intended role as a bomber formation destroyer.
