- Comparing the North American P-51D Mustang against the Hawker Sea Fury FB.11 flying at the same airshow. Looking at both Warbirds at a technical point of view and at the takeoff, display and landing.
- Наука та технологія
The stock Sea Fury had 2550 hp with the Bristol-Centaurus 18 engine. My friend the late Lloyd Hamilton owned N588, Race 16, Baby Gorilla. Racing the plane up at Reno Air Races. After the race event we'd fuel the plane then wipe down the airframe. That's it.
All the other planes that raced in the Unlimited Divisions would have to have their engines looked over. Not the Bristol. The reason we don't see many stock Sea Furys with Bristol engines is because of a lack of available parts and people that can rebuild this sleeve valved engine.
Wow thanks for that Information
Lloyd had an off airport landing in the desert near Tehachapi pass heading home after the Mojave race in 72? 73? in Race 16, Larry Rengsdorf was in the back seat. He also had an engine failure near Santa Rosa, ending up in a plum orchard. Both failures were Centaurus engines. I found Race 15 in Holland and Lloyd and I went and got a couple of months later. Sadly the engine had gone to a trade school and we never found it.
@@Warbirds ha ha
@@TheKafiri
Such a shame they did not know how to look after the Centaurus engine.
@@barrierodliffe4155 What makes you think they did not know how to look after the Centaurus. Were you there?
Thank you for not adding music or commentary over the sounds of the engines. Outstanding.
^^^THIS ZOMG YES thanks so much for the sweet sweet engine sounds! Sometimes I watch airplane videos with the sound off because of this.
You’re welcome
This is the way I think all aviation videos should be made. ENJOY the sound of the engines and the aircraft doing what they were designed to do. No Music....Great job! Thank you!
I really think a little Metalica would have added to the realism.
I agree these engines sound Amazing!
All debates of merit aside, can we all agree that watching these two fly is just a big ol' bunch of fun?
Yes please !
greymattervandal they could have put the Sea fury engines on the constellation. Less maintenance. Less breakdowns
My father in law was stationed at base Shearwater when and American came in with his Mustang, A plane he obviously loved. While there he was invited to fly a Sea Fury. When he landed he wanted to trade aircraft.
@@Warbirds Amazing how quickly planes developed in WW II. Fighters over 100 mph faster at the end of the war than during the Battle of Britain, bombers carrying 2-3 times the weight, faster, and longer ranges. And just missing the war you had (effectively) you had the Meteor, P-80, Shackleford and B-36 getting ready to go operational. Yes, I understand the Meteor was in use over UK, and the P-80 also made some flights, but these were not truly front line planes just yet. Kind of like the Luftwaffe's Comet, not quite ready for prime time yet.
Absolutely! The sounds of these Warbirds are just something else!
Just magical video for me, thank you! Love both aircraft. My late dad flew the Fury FBII (as well as predecessor Tempest and various other types, plus Supermarine Attacker, 1st gen jet). Dad always said the Fury was the most perfect plane - flawless and a joy to fly. I love this video because he used to tell his wide-eyed son of the aerobatic qualities of his aircraft, the sound of the engine, etc. Now I can see and hear it properly, and experience a little of the exhilaration he felt, piloting this beauty. Many thanks!
Thanks your lovely comment
What a lovely memory to have , this video must have been very emotional for you. Respect.
A huge thanks to the people keeping these awesome machines flying.
BEAUTIFUL !!!! Thanks for no Background music- these engines are the swwweetest music !
They are ! Background music would fuck it up
Yes you can tell true Aviation fans by heart they don't screw up the videos with music, they let the engines do the singing!
@@jonadam5392 That's it. Definitely.
The Sea Fury is such a clean, fast and smooth looking airplane
Unlike the Mustang which is bulky, boxy and down right hideous. 😁
@@ghostmost2614 You might want to get your eyes checked, the Stang has curves like a lady. Your Sea Fury would catch every bullet and fly with that fuselage.
N S I think your talking about the ME-109
@@ghostmost2614 uh, you need an eye doctor bro. both of these planes are downright beautiful, and the Mustang looks so smooth and sleek
@@ghostmost2614 🤣 I'm sure most of us appreciated your irony!
So smart to show these machines in all aspects. Beautiful and artful production. As a ground dweller, great respect.
Thanks watching and your lovely comment
Wow! Prior to seeing this beautifully-shot video, I was not at all familiar with the Sea Fury. Needless to say, I’m suitably impressed. This airplane’s power to climb vertically seems limitless. Whoever was flying it is a heck of a pilot. Of course I lust over the P-51, but it was really fun to discover something new. The setting for these flights is magnificent. The videographer did a superb job of making it an important part of the whole production. Bravo! Thanks for sharing your skill and your love of classic aircraft.
The sea fury was even more impressive with its orginal engine, which this one sadly has not.
What engine is this one running?
Hawker Fury was a development of the Hawker Tempest, which was developed from the Typhoon. Fury never saw service in WW2 but gave good service in Korea. It was adapted for naval use because early jets needed longer runways. Hence the Sea Fury.
Indeed this beautiful sea fury belong to a famous pilot in France. He is known to be an incredible pilot in all kinds of aircrafts.
@@davidelliott5843 Pratt & Whitney R-2800 CB3 ! Dream engine...
Thanks for this upload. I found it delightful watching these two supreme and sublime aircraft dance through the sky.
Thanks for your comment and watching
We had the Hawker Sea Fury in the Canadian Navy while I was stationed At Shearwater Naval Base in the time I was in 1954 to1964. I like the P-51 it a lot more publicity than the Fury. Which helped it be more noticeable but that Fury could sure haul ass. We had a few pilots that were young and adventurous and they really could make those birds put on a show. I had the great opportunity to do a run up of a Fury that was in a tie down so it wouldn't take off and thank God it didn't. That was a thrill I will never forget we had it actually dancing up and down on the tires. Oh to be young and a little crazy again.
Wow thanks for the Story
WTF? Hope you're still with us! You must be 88...
This Marine is kinda fond of the Corsair. That being said, I love the sound of all WWII aircraft! Kudos to the folks who keep them flying!
All variants of the Corsair through the years have been outstanding aircraft.
My absolute favorite aircraft of that era as well.
Love that video of the 11 Corsairs puttin' on a show for the crowd in "Thunder over Michigan". Man! A whole squadron of F4Us! Never knew there were that many airworthy. But I read there are well over 30 flying.
@@francisbusa1074 I hear ya!
The sound of FA-18 Hornets and Cobra gunships was always comforting to me.
I imagine the Marines in WWII and Korea felt the same about Corsairs
@@marinegunny826
You remember those days too!
The Sea Fury sounds and looks a real beast as though it can't wait to get into the action.
Just wonderful to see these two great aircraft still flying.
About 10 years ago I was doing some defense contracting work south of Sacramento on a small airfield and saw several Sea Furies all in Iraqi war paint. They were the real thing and were being converted to racers. Impressive with 5 bladed props. And tough navy construction. Castro ran these during the Bay of Pigs.
Wow Great stuff 👍
MIKROWAVE1 The engines were made in Filton Bristol where I came from, the sleeve valve engine was fitted in Beaufighters and other types too.
Thanks for the upload. I had a blast looking at your vid and appreciating it.
Thanks watching and your great comment
Ditto with the music. You can listen to music any day. You can only listen to these when they fly!
Beautiful planes! Great footage!
P-51 looks great, and nimble ASF but the Sea Fury is beastly!!
looks nearly as good as the aircraft it copied, the the MB3 minus the firepower
I met the guy who shot down a mig in a sea fury, he worked with my dad in the royal navy, he gave me a frog kit of his plane, I was 12 at the time
Awesome !
I believe the Fury is the only prop-based aircraft to have shot down a jet aircraft...
@@Pricklyhedgehog72 About 100 ME262 jet fighters were shot down by various propeller aircraft (P-51 etc)
@@glenn1035 Ah, okay, I did not know that.
I think a douglas skyraider shot down a mig in vietnam
Super vids - and no commentary or music! Just the music of the engines and the planes - perfect!
Thx
2 superb examples of 2 iconic warbirds. Lovely birds indeed! Great vid - thanks for posting.
Thanks watching !
Two of Man's finest creations in one place.
These are DREAM machines!
Man, the sounds are breath taking.
Thanks watching, liking and commeting
I want more videos like this. XD
I will Produce stay tuned
RuntyKnight 4993, especially the Sea fury. One mean ass engine.
What a dream to be able to fly either one of these
True... Long way to Go but im on Track 👍
UNLESS YOU'RE BEING SHOT AT BY AN ENEMY WITH AN AIRPLANE JUST AS FAST, JUST AS MANEUVERABLE, JUST AS WELL ARMED AS YOUR AIRCRAFT - AND JIST AS DETERMINED TO KILL YOU - THEN THE THRILL TURNS TO SHEER TERROR.
@@faerieSAALE
Just as well that in WWII the Spitfire was fast, had good acceleration, climb and was maneuverable, nothing touched it, a few were fast or maneuverable but none did it all except the Spitfire. Whoever had a Spitfire behind would be in terror, the Spitfire pilot would simply accelerate, turn and climb.
@@faerieSAALE I don't believe that today someone would shot down any of that old warbirds ;-))
Juno I beg to differ, that P51 may not be able to fire missiles and all that like a jet but get a good pilot like George preddy I bet he would
Give these new pilots a run for their money. Show them shit they ain’t ever seen
Thanks watching and liking this Video so much !
I like 51 mustang it's beautiful plane.
The p-51 Merlin sounds so sweet, I remember seeing one at Stuart fl. Witham field air show back in 2000. My favorite fighter....
Thanks watching and your lovely comment
Out freekin' standing! The Hawker just has so much energy to climb it's amazing... ust hangs on the prop. Thanks for posting and thanks for keeping the soundtrack clean.
Thanks watching and liking
You should hear one with a Centaurus engine and a five blade prop. Not only does it perform every bit as well but it sounds even better. When I watched the first passes, my first thought was “Jesus that thing is fast.” It looked like it was doing about 100 kts more than the Mustang. I don’t know why because their speeds are not that different.
What an awesome airfield!!! Wow!!! Not to mention two of my favorite aircraft ever! Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for watching and commenting
Perfect. The engine sounds with no annoying music or voice-overs. Excellent camera coverage! Statistics scrolling at the bottom not interfering with video coverage. Thank you, well done.
Thx mate
P-51 Mustang vs. Sea Fury? About 30% more testosterone for the Sea Fury. It reminds me of a sledgehammer.
Thanks watching
Chuckling...British testosterone? No such thing
@@chopchop7938 Awww. Come on. That thing out Bearcats a Bearcat.
The Chanel stopped the Germans from advancing westward, having good pilots and good planes helped
Sea fury is an excellent machine, of that there is no doubt.
Best sounds of the airshow. Warbirds are just incredible machines!
My fix for the evening thank you great video.
My Father was in the Fleet Air Arm during the Korean War. He served on HMS Unicorn which flew Sea Fury’s..
He had some wonderful photo graphs of that time which have sadly been lost..
He was the Lolly Pop man waving in the planes.
Great Story
Why bother comparing them, rather than just enjoying them, Both fantastic aircraft I would pay to see flying.
Hehe i did
I attend the air shows on Long Island, NY each summer and photograph them. There is at least one Mustang flying but I sure would love to see this British masterpiece in action.
I think their all Gorgeous hellcat,bearcat,spitfire ,me 109,p47,Mitsubishi a6m2
A very good video featuring two of the best of their design. Excellent video and audio quality, and the grass strip field is wonderful.
No matter which aircraft one prefers, the film is a modern flashback to allied air history; enjoy it.
Thanks for your comment
Two VERY fine aircraft, lovely sound and a very enjoyable video. Thank you !!
Thanks watching
Quite simply two of the most beautiful looking and sounding aircraft to ever grace the skies. Headphones recommended 👌 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks watching hope you enjoyed the sound
P-51 beautiful? Hmm, with the clipped flying surfaces and 'pregnant guppy' cooler it's one of the ugliest WW2 aircraft. Effective, though!
ah gotcha...............missed the tag as i'm a bit slow :) great seeing and hearing these planes...........more please :)
It has been sometime since I watched and heard the Sea Fury fly like this. Actually it was at Reno/Stead. To hear a radial engine with that power was humbling. Like then, having both the Sea Fury along side the V 12 power house Mustang showing their stuff put a smile on my face. Knowing that these tools for war were designed and manufactured by American Patriots working as a team. Thanks to both pilots for sharing their airplanes .
Thanks watching and your comment
...er, the Sea Fury is British. It wasn't designed and manufactured by American Patriots.
Finally something worth putting the head phones on for, As smooth as the in line sounds....that radial in anger tho....wow. That sea fury is just a sky demon! thankyou mate

The Sea Fury is a handsome beast of a plane.
It is
Yes youre right a beautiful aircraft shame it isnt fitted with the 3000hp Centaurus XXII
@@oldman2775 Centaurus XVIII used in the Sea Fury, old bean. Only later (commercial versions) of the Centaurus approached 3,000hp.
Wki info: ''The Centaurus was produced in 34 variants, ranging from the 2,000 hp (1,490 kW) Centaurus I to the 2,405 hp (1,793 kW) Centaurus 663 for the Airspeed Ambassador airliner. The most powerful variants to enter service were the 2,625 hp (1,957 kW) Centaurus 170, 173, 660, 661 and 662. The 373 was the most powerful version of the Centaurus and was intended for the Blackburn Beverley transport aircraft. Using direct fuel injection, it achieved a remarkable 3,220 hp.
German has a jet by this time. Fury was stolen design from fw190
garyseeseverything not nuke tho
At Oshkosh back in '90 or '91 there was a Sea Fury with tip smoke (love that!) and a Mustang doing laps with the Fury leading. He'd go down show center (right to left) then at the end of the runway pull up hard and bank right to go out over the lake with the Mustang following about a half runway length behind. The coolest part was the turbulence from the pull made the tip smoke swirl and then converge in a big ring which about as soon as it fully formed was center punched by the Mustang. They did this over and over and it was just so neat to see. Great video and thanks for the wonderful sound!
Thanks for your comment and liking
The sound of those 2 flying steel passing by gives me chills
Awesome
All the comments on here complaining that the comparison was mismatched. It is what it is, guys, because at air shows you don’t have the luxury of saying “Bring me a such and such engined so and so”. You film what’s there.
Thanks Mick
QED Really then the poster should NOT make such ridiculous claim and just show the planes flying for what they are !!! Sea Fury did NOT make the show in WW II !!!!
Wilbur Finnigan
Forget to take your chill pill this morning, Wilbur? Either that, or that horse you’re sitting on is so damned high you can’t get off.
The poster made no claims. There was no commentary and the only subtitles gave technical details of each plane.
He was at an air show where they flew two beautiful examples of the high point of piston/prop driven airplane technology, and he shot some lovely video of them being put through their paces. Then idiots came clambering in, rooting for their “fave” and claiming he should have used different planes or different engines. I merely pointed out to said idiots that he didn’t have that option and then an even bigger idiot (you) clambers all over my comment with evident indignation (all those !!!) at the poster.
So the Sea Fury didn’t quite make it to WW2. So what? Does it detract from the video?
@@q.e.d.9112 QED DUMB ASS!!!! Mustang was as built and as it served in WWII !!!! The Sea Fury was a johnny come late to the part Post war plane and then they had to find an engine that would actually get it back in the air !!! That engine was an American made PW R2800 !!! DUUUUUHHHHH!!!!!!! And to even compare the two is the height of stupidity !!!!! DYUUUUUUUUHHHH!!!!!
@@wilburfinnigan2142 What I see as a hight of stupidity is bitching about when and where each plane came into existence like there's some kind of contest rather than just enjoying 2 different outstanding show stoppers of a similar era. I mean, who gives a fuck that the SF wasn't around a few years earlier? "DYYYUUUUUHHHHHH". wtf
I see a lot of vintage planes and police helicopters messing around over and around my house in SE England, probably because all around are wide open fields where they can land if things go south. I also live not very far from Old Warden, home to the Shuttleworth Collection, who have frequent air displays. On one occasion (alas, no mobile phone cameras then), I recognised the breathy howl of a Merlin engine and dashed into my garden. There was a Spitfire Mk IX doing barrel rolls, bunts, split S, you name it, at full power. And then he did something I have never seen at an air show. He did a steep climb to about 30,000 feet and went into a full power dive, and pulled up almost at rooftop height, surely ticking off close to 500mph. The sound! I swear I could hear the supercharger sucking in air by the bucketload, and the angry yet defiant roar of the engine was intoxicating. I wish I could have recorded it. You never see it on air dhows, because it would probably breach health and safety guidelines, but I'd have it on UA-cam, totally without music, as is this video.
She's not a Spitfire, but the Mustang was built to an RAF requirements spec for a long-range fighter escort, and she carries the beating heart of the Spitfire. The sound in the video is fantastic!
Thanks mate for your comment and liking !
Great video, two sleek aircraft with no background music , just pure engine sound for us piston'heeds 👍
2 fantastic looking aircraft. Both right up there when it comes to looking and sounding cool
Great video Thanks for sharing
Thanks mate
The Merlin engine sounds so sweet no matter what it is in and the Fury would be so much better remembered if it had been able to get into service before the Second World War ended. It was no slouch in Korea.
The Merlin Plays its V12 Orchestra
Same for the F8 Bearcat with the U.S. Navy.
the fury sounds great too, that super charger whine is epic
Sea Fury used in close support role in Korea. A better US equivalent was Corsair, still in use at time of Korean War.
It was well known and loved in HM Navies IT was replaced by banshees in the RCN flew off of HMCS Magnificent and Bonaventure I believe.
Love both aircraft I've always been partial to the mustang but that sea fury whistling was pretty cool would lounge to see both one day
Those engines in full flight... such a soothing and awesome sound.
Awesome ... thanks liking
I am a true P-51 fan in all variants, but that Sea Fury...Looks and sounds fantastic!

It is a great pity Yanks do not understand how good engines work, much like you not knowing much about aircraft or anything else.
This is awesome. Thank you for making this video.
My family and I went to an air show at an air force base in Orange county Calif, which was shut down a couple years later. They always featured the Thunderbirds which in my opinion put on a far better show them Blue Angels. Anywas, there was a Mustang just putting on a great show with full speed low passes the whole enchilada. Suddenly a Sea Fury showed out of nowhere with the engine Screaming at what seemed going twice as fast as the Mustang, making everyone stop dead on their tracks I had no idea those things were so powerful and so fast. I became an instant fan of Sea Furys. The show it out on made the Mustang look like child's play. In fortunately they came into service as WWII ended.
Great Video! Having flown the Mustang I'm a bit partial, but the Sea Fury looks like a great plane too!!
Thanks watching and your comment
Impressed by the Fury's superior rate of climb...21.3m/s is good. Love them both and many other craft from the era, the Zero was no slouch either...but I always get a tear when I see and hear a Spitfire. Now THAT'S an icon!
True ! Thanks commenting
The Mustang couldn't do everything the Spitfire could do... but it did it over Berlin!
@@TheIndianalain
The Mustang did fly over Berlin, but so what? the war was not just over Berlin, the real fighting was where the Spitfire was flying.
@@barrierodliffe4155 wow, Barrie Low-life displays ungrateful passive-aggressive publicly; such a lack of gratitude for the 80,000 men that paid their lives flying bombers over Europe. The P-51 single-handed ended the bombing campaign over Europe by providing air supremacy to the bombing runs and their safe return. Without the Merlin engine, the P-51 was incomplete; without the American airframe the Merlin was a solution looking for a platform. Wonderful example of both Americans and Brits working together ti #win. God Bless all that paid the ultimate price!
@@MechanicalTrader
Gratitude for USA profiteering and doing a fraction of the job the RAF did in Europe.
The P 51 did nothing single-handed and even after Britain gave USA the best aero engine the P 51 was not close to a Spitfire in performance, it was the Spitfiire that achieved air supremacy in Europe. Without the Merlin the P 51 was rather useless, with the Merlin it was good but not close to a Spitfire except for range because of the Merlin and British drop tanks.
What a joy it must be to pilot such beautiful machines. It is in my view the ultimate 'cool.'
Thanks watching and commenting
Great planes

Superb piloting skills

Awesome vid! Great sound and photography. That Mustang is fabulous, but Sea Fury is just AWESOME...it's JET-FAST!
Thanks Peter
My pleasure. Always a joy to see such great photography with great sound, not spoiled by silly music. 👍🏻
P-51...sexiest aircraft ever to fly in the sky! Been in love with them since I was 8 or 9 yrs old. I must have built at least 50 p-51 models in my youth.
I fell in love with the Messerschmitt 109 with the DB 605 Engine
NS I have to agree totally. I'm of the same opinion also. Saw my first P-51 at an airshow in Oklahoma when I was 8 while on vacation with my folks. NEVER forgot it. I'm 72 now and still in love!!!! There's some other great aircraft that really take no back seat but there's still only ONE great icon in my book.....the P-51 Mustang!
Yeah!!! Great design too!! Way ahead of its time..you just knew jets were right down road..but she was a beautiful aircraft!!!
Yep, nearly as sexy as the Sea Fury! :-) Two of my favourite planes. Great video
Totally agree. One beautiful aircraft.
There IS music in this video... the engines ARE the music! Beautiful!
Impressive, and a pleasure to watch and hear.
Thank you

THANK YOU SOMUCH! What a great movie, it's so beautiful. I can only imagine what it is to be flying trough the sun lit clouds, free like a bird. I did love the P51 ofcourse but did not know the Sea Fury that well, but i love that Fury and the sound she makes, that whistling at high speeds so magnificent. Mankind does horrible things to one another but at the same time creates great beauty.
Brilliant video !! Steve.
Thanks Steve
Mustang is my favorite, it's history, the roll it played in WWII, and it just looks so good! I build and fly RC planes and the Mustang has always been one of my favorite subjects.
Cool me 2
The role it played? It only made into the war for the closing stages!
@@timothyphillips5043 And only after the power plant was switched to the Merlin. Before that it was a nothing.
@@timothyphillips5043 yeah, the role it played. The USAAF was conducting day time unescorted bombing missions into Germany. Unlike the Brits, they didn't hide under cover of darkness and were taking heavy losses. It got so bad that they called off the long range missions until an effective escort could be found. That's when the mustang came on the scene and enabled the US military to resume the deep bombing missions and hasten the end of the war. It was so effective at crippling the Luftwaffe that the English even started conducting daytime missions. So yeah, the role it played.
@@hugmal37 so what? U could put that same engine in another plane and it wouldn't have performed as well as the mustang. Of course you have to match the right power plant with the airframe, that's just common sense. What's the sea fury without that 2000hp Pratt Whitney engine? What's your point?
Love both of these planes and I am a huge WWII fan. Both sound awesome but my favorite in the Merlin powered P51. WOW.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!!! I never ever thought anything could compete against the performance of a P-51, least of all its beauty while static and in flight. The Sea Fury maneuvered effortlessly whilst the P-51 looked like it was pushing its limits at the top of the curves. The P-51 sounds melodiously powerful as it passes by while the Sea Fury sound like a beast after it's prey. Have to give it to the Sea Fury for its performance but the P-51 is still the beauty of the ball. Great Video and I second the kudos for just letting these planes sing their own tune without added and unwanted noise!!!
Thanks watching
Two very different and beautiful aircraft. No comparison necessary.
Thanks watching and liking
All that needs to be said I agree absolutely.
Both are great aircraft. Do visit the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario. See the Lancaster. Avenger, B25, C47 Catalina and many other great planes.
Both are beautiful! Both sound beautiful! I’m partial to the song of the V12 Rolls Royce. Damn, now that’s music!
Awesome thanks
What a joy! What a beautiful video! Want to fly such beauty!

The sound of that Sea Fury's 2100HP is thrilling and it even looks to be faster over the crow that the Mustang. Hard for me to think that, given I absolutely love the P-51.

Both beautiful aircraft, and a great video. For me, there is no greater engine sound than the Merlin engine. I was fortunate enough to fly in one of the Collings Foundation P-51 in 2010, and I will cherish that day always.
Cool 😎 thanks for commenting
You're welcome, :) Because my father machined Merlin engine parts at one of the RR factories during the war. A few years after the war he moved to North America and worked in aircraft factories. Here he had to "cool it" with the tolerances he was after on lathes and mills because RR set higher standards than what was normal elsewhere. It had become automatic practice for him so he had to unlearn some things. I've still got a few of his small hand tools with his name engraved on them. I should donate them to an aviation museum soon.
I love the sound of those engines. Puts a smile on my face just hearing them. Imagine how the allied forces felt when they heard the friendlies overhead.
So Awesome Sound when fuel is burning in their big Engines
That Sea Fury is a BEAST!
The Centaurus powered ones are even better but there aren’t many of them left.
The original Sea Fury was powered by a Bristol Centaurus Mk. 18 engine driving a 5 bladed prop. The P&W R-2800 & 4 bladed prop used here is a conversion.
Yes it’s a conversion to fly cheaper and faster because of less weight
I recently sold to the P-51 owner, a painting I made oil on canvas , of his magnificent "Marinell"..
I love Mustangs and One of my dreams is to fly one of them ;-)
👏
@@Warbirds With the DCS Flight simulators, ( The Best ), even ordinary people can "almost" fly the Mustang
Both beautiful aircraft and the piston engines sound like perfection
Astonishing to consider that these two amazing aircraft were designed and built more than 7 decades ago....
And the Sound is better than every plane built these times
Roger Dodger these were built only 40 years after first powered flight... less than 20 since Sopwith and Fokker aircraft fought over France. A pretty amazing surge in technology. At that pace it is not surprising modern fighters have evolved into high tech wonders, but interestingly they don’t fly any faster than they did 50 years ago. I guess you have to understand and appreciate engineering and history to comprehend my comment.
You just earned a new subscriber! xD
i love that - welcome. Airshow Season 2019 is just beginning with even better equipment :)
You build them and we fly them... Big difference boys... Cant have one without the other.. THANK YOU!!!

Go Sea Fury Go
Another great pity is that the CAC CA-15, also known unofficially as the CAC Kangaroo, which was a project developed TOO late in Australia itself (for WW11) and which ended up being cancelled due to the growing potential of jet engines in that period- never achieved production. This machine, being Australian, both sported the Kangaroo insignia and was named "Kangaroo" while, in appearance, seemed to suggest what a Mustang on steroids might look like.

Wonderful sound to the ears. Thanks
The irony; an American aircraft originally designed to use an American engine, the Allison, sporting a British designed engine whilst the British plane, designed to run a British engine (the Bristol Centaurus) is running an American designed engine, albeit it is an "after market" retrofit...
Of course, in the film the Battle of Britain we had shots of Merlin-powered Spitfires battling Merlin-powered, Spanish-built Bf109s...

Spanish Hispano HA-1112-M4L
@@AreeyaKKC yes, and at least one still flying. Here's one in Luftwaffe markings as a Bf-109 but unmistakably sounding like a Spitfire or Hurricane due to the Merlin engine

That exactly what I was thinking!
Yes if your a Merlin powered bf 109.........................Im sorry but youv'e lost it in the looks dept.
The wisthle on the Sea Fury iw sexy as hell!!
Sweet video and flying of two outstanding aircraft designs. Nice to see the Sea Fury, too few of them around for such a great plane for people to get a feel for how smooth and fast it was! Would be amazing to see the Sea Fury flying with a P-47.
Thx for your comment
The Hawker is a gorgeous powerful airplane, thanks for the look, though personally I would have preferred it if they'd canned the smoke. It distracted from the getting a clear look at the plaine during its maneuvers.
I love both of these aircraft, but the Aussie sea fury, has to be seen to be believed. The finest exponent of the propeller driven machines, which lasted well into the jet age with the world's navies.👏👏👏👏👏
And Even Shot a mig in Korea War
Aussie????
