One thing that it so American is that a lot of US WW2 fighters are really quite a bit bigger than the enemies and allies like this Spitfire. Big honking trucks with huge radials. The P-47 is the epitome of course.
There aren’t any flying Hawker Typhoons in the world, and the only current airworthy Hawker Tempest hasn’t flown since October last year - hopefully it will be up again soon though!
@@AviationHighlights The Tempest II was originally billed to fly at the Shuttleworth Festival but, unfortunately, wasn't ready in time. Great show though nevertheless - as always at Old Warden. Was there on Saturday and the weather was perfect. Great video BTW, thanks.
Amazing video, love it
Fantastic display from these two, saw it both days. They also took off directly over my head as I was cycling home, perfect!

Amazing display from both on both days ( p.s. I was in the white marquee full of model aircraft).
That Spitfire sounds amazing. A deeper engine note than a Merlin.
Thanks
Lovely stuff!
Great footage! What camera are you shooting with?
How did the Corsair start its display? Was there a loop before that first topside?
There's just something about the Spitfire...
On every Festival are "Standard" Planes, but were are the P-39`s and P-63`s ? Are they so rare or were they so bad ?
Well, there are none operating in the UK, perhaps even in Europe.
Most are in the United States.
