- I hope you enjoy my video from the Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow.
The weather was glorious, the airshow was glorious and the sound of Merlin engines was also glorious!
We were treated to some of the finest flying and finest warbirds you could wish to see!
We need to remember ‘the few’. It’s not a glorification of war, it’s remembering the brave members of the armed forces who fought for freedom.
‘Never in the field of human conflict, was so much owed, by so many, to so few.’ - Winston Churchill.
Just Beautiful
Thank you!
What’s better than the Battle of Britain display with the most appropriate music playing I had a wonderful day thanks to every one at Duxford 🤟🏻
Yeah I was loving it when they were playing the Battle of Britain film music when the Spitfires and the 109’s were doing their ‘dog fight’
Great video, thanks for taking the time to post. What better sight than seeing a Spitfire in a blue sky over England, and that sound......perfect late summers day.
You’re very welcome. It was definitely a memorable and thought provoking day.
Great show we were there
Fully agree! It was a great airshow/day
I was there such an amazing day
Best airshow in the uk.
@@freeflightscale definitely!!!
Was at it in 2015 a fantastic display.
Nice one! Love the sound of the Merlin! I was there the day after. Less good weather but lovely sounds just the same 😀👍
No problem at all. Ah you were lucky enough to see BBMF Spitfire P7350 then! I think the Battle of Britain airshow on Sunday was one of its first displays since it had an engine issue when returning to RAF Coningsby in the summer. That particular Spitfire saw action during the Battle of Britain as well, so very fitting to be a part of the airshow!
Well done for flagging up Battle of Britain day (15th Sept) in the video description, its something l have, and will continue to highlight in my own UA-cam videos, nice video by the way.
I will always try to add some information into my video descriptions, as there’s nothing more annoying than clicking on the video description to find nothing!
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated. 👍🏻
Looked like a fantastic day with the weather playing it's part. Thanks for sharing
Yeah it was a superb day. Very enjoyable. 👍🏻
We always used to go on the Friday's before the airshows, being members of the IWM. We watched the practice displays, fewer people
and no extra cost. We haven't been for some time now, we used to enjoy our visits.
I was there in the crowd on the 16th, thanks for sharing 👍
You’re very welcome
...missed it this year, thanks for the video ❤👍
No problem. There’s always next year!
“Bloody marvellous” It’s the first time in many years I didn’t make this BoB show 😕 The sights and especially the sounds are so amazing, spine tingling…especially the Lancaster with her 4 synced Merlins 🥰
Ultimately though, I am a Spitfire nut so they are the stars of the show for me 😎👍🏼

Cheers m8 was at that show 👍.
No problem! Hope you enjoyed as much as I did!
Cheers I did
The Spitfires Merlin is the sound of freedom
I mentioned to friends that the 15th September was Battle of Britain Day. They hadn't remembered. Very sad as it's part of History. 😢I remember it being in the Daily Paper.
I was overseas working with our American cousins, they knew all about BoB Day.; and were surprised some of the UK guys didn't...we mustn't forget what made this country Great....
The main thing is, you were not alone in remembering Battle of Britain day. The crowds at Duxford for the airshow was great to see, and proof that the brave servicemen and women have not been forgotten. There was also a lot of different nationalities at the airshow!
Totally agree, Battle of Britain Day (15th September) is one of the most important dates to remember regarding this country's aviation/military history. Unfortunately as the years roll by the people who were directly involved will become less and eventually all fade into history too, leaving the word to be passed on by less and less people interested in keeping their memory and the history they so bravely created alive. I will continue for as long as l can through my own UA-cam videos in flying the flag in their honour .
@@timeslip9 yes it certainly is. It’s also important that we keep these fantastic warbirds in airworthy condition as a flying memorial to the brave pilots - and I mean all of them, not just the British pilots. The roar of a merlin engine, the sight of a spitfire, hurricane and a 109 are thought provoking to say the least.
@@timeslip9 My GT Grandson is a Cpl in the Air Cadets. He lives and breathes flying and has his Glider Wings, also has flown several times as co pilot in a light aircraft. The Red Arrows has been his inspiration since he was a little boy. I may not be here to see him achieve all his dreams but I trust he will be one of the brave Pilots of the future in this uncertain world.
Excellent Jim 👍👍🚀🚀
I’ll let Jim know 😂
The thing what really is astonishing is that most of the pilots on both sides during WW2 were 19-25 years old ,also just like to add years ago i was lucky enough to have a flight in Sally B ,we were "bounced" by a pair of Spits ,standing at the waist gunners station it was frightening how fast the fighters were a speck then by you ,how they shot them down is astonishing.
Wow! I bet that was an awesome experience! Thanks for sharing!
pretty annoying how you see 3 Hurricanes taxiing out , and the very next scene is 3 Mustangs flying together.Is this intentionally meant to be confusing for people who dont know their aircraft ?
It’s a compilation of videos that were shot at last years Duxford Battle of Britain Airshow. I imagine the Mustangs had already taken to the air, not been captured on video, and the Hurricanes were taxying out to take off and hold in preparation for their display.
How it can have been done intentionally in the compilation to confuse people, is a bit farcical. It was done however for people to enjoy the sights and sounds on the day.
Wish they wouldn’t fly so far out, doubtless the work of some pen pushing nork at the Ministry of Spoiling Everything
Yes me too, but I’d rather they still have airshows than not because of H&S concerns.
We unfortunately live in a ‘where there’s blame, there’s a claim’ culture, so I can understand why they put so many restrictions in place. Minority ruining it for the majority though ultimately.
@@freeflightscale Indeed, gone are the days of pilots making it up as they went along.
@@tectoramia-sz1lu The Shoreham crash didn’t do the airshow scene much of a favour either tbh.
Yeah sit down haha😂
wanted to go but it said no parking sold out
useless
how can there be no spaces in a massive place like that
The car park isn't big enough to hold the cars of a sell out show.....I visited late October one year and was surprised how few parking spaces there are.There is a park and ride service from a nearby location though, didn't you fancy using that?
Over 33,500 people attended, However if you had read the FAQs, you could have parked at the Train station or Park and Ride, and got free Bus/Shuttle to and from the event which had ample parking.
