Just wanted to say that my late father was a WW2 fighter pilot with the 78th Fighter Squadron based in Duxford. He first flew P-47 Thunderbolt during the first part of the war. Then flew the P-51 Mustang toward the end. Afterwards he and his fellow pilots were transferred to Guam to help fight the Japanese which never happened since it was over soon after they arrived. My Dad liked the P-47 better because he felt much safer while flying and hunting for the Luftwaffe than he did in the Mustang. He told me a time or two that flying the Thunderbolt was like being in an armored truck and very difficult to shoot down due to its thick metal plating and very thick canopy while in comparison it was like flying a sports car in the P-51. Although it was fast and agile, it didn't take much to shoot it down unfortunately due to its lighter plating. I like both planes and others from WW2 but I get a real thrill and a chill down my spine each and every time I see a P-47 fly as it's all too rare. I'm not ashamed to say that I also shed a tear or two for my Dad, Captain Ivan H. Keatley (his rank during WW2)as I can imagine him still flying those Jugs if only in spirit. Rest In Peace, Dad. You earned it and Keep 'em Flying!
God bless your dad True hero Cheers mate ✌️
Both the P-51 and P-47 had superb armor for the pilot/engine. The Mustang more actually. Respect to your father but... I don't know if he knew what he was talking about.
DohlarDickin this is real life not war thunder mate.
Have you seen the video of a P-47 flying and safely landing with half a wing shot off?! It well illustrates how tough a bird was the P-47! A true story that's available on UA-cam. Sorry, I don't have a reference to the video.
@@rickbear7249 God Bless your father... hero and what a story for the family to keep for ever
My grandfather was a B17 pilot during WWII, he flew bombing missions over Germany and dropped bombs on Normandy before the D-Day invasion. He died this past November at the age of 100 years old. Seeing a beautifully restored B17 like that always gives me goosebumps. It’s like a time machine to me, it makes me think about all the stories he told me about that time in his life. I often think of what it must have been like to be as young as he was and having the responsibility of flying that huge plane and the lives of his crew members. They really were the greatest generation.
My dad was a B-17 pilot also. The mighty 8th 401st bomb group out of Ducksford England. At 21yrs old, he was the oldest crew member. Most 21yr olds today can't even make it to work on time. I simply cant imagine the courage and commitment it took to do what they or any war vet in that era had to do.
i disagree. Why are they any better than all the prior generations.
Both Yamamoto and most of the German generals knew the war was over when America entered WWII. Once the U.S. got onto a war footing, which it already was prior to Pearl Harbor, there was no stopping the Allied steamroller.
The German Army and Luftwaffe was a shell of itself when the Allies landed on Normandy. The best of the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS was ground down in a horrible war of attrition on the Russian Steps.
Germany and Japan had no chance against the industrial juggernaut and resources of the United States and the Allied manpower was overwhelming. Britain had some great R&D minds and excellent intelligence.
Both Germany and Japan had AWFUL military intelligence. The Allies knew just about every move of the Axis and the Axis forces had no clue. Also, both Germany snd Japan were being led ny lunatics. Germany had some great generals and damn good officers and troops. But Hitler and his inner circle were way behind the power-curve.
After Midway, the Japanese were 'dead men walking'. They were hell of great warriors, but were outgunned and outnumbered.
There was nothing so extra ordinary about the WWII generation. Who were the parents of my generation, the 'Boomers', who in turn raised the following generations and have us in the mess we have today.
Just because a 250 pound heavyweight fighter beats up on a 120 underfed lightweight, it does not make the heavy weight the best fighter ever. Remember, your 'greatest generation' gave us the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam and the dirty wars and coups of the CIA through South America, Central America and assorted ops in Europe. Lest we forget JFK, RFK and MLK assassinations.
My uncle was a top turret gunner/flight engineer on a B-17. Spent 2 years in a German POW camp.
With all due respect, most pilots simply died. Flew to Germany and got shot out of the sky. How many missions was average? Those times were not "great" at all. Entire countries turned into murderers. That is called war.
Your grandfather was just a lucky bastard, or a good pilot. Both I guess.
But it was a miserable time, please do not forget that. These halleluia stories are deceiving at best.
May your grandfather rest in peace. He had what it took to fight for his country.
My great grandfather brought down over 40 German aircraft in WW2.
He was the worst mechanic the Luftwaffe ever had 😂
lol good one : )
Excellent.
you should rather be ashamed of your great grandfather
Lolololol
Always a favourite :)
Still hard to believe we lost several souls today in a B-17 / P-63 collision. RIP to all.😥
No one died! Look closely!
@@Ceausescu_Nicolae The comment from bogdog999 referred to another accident in Nov'22: ua-cam.com/video/zIi2b2Ztem0/v-deo.html

Such a tragedy. I live in Dallas, and I have been to Wings Over Dallas several times. I have also been aboard Texas Raiders. just a terrible accident.
So, if I heard it correctly the P-63 hit a drone, which knocked him off course into the B-17, in Dallas?
10:46 is the incident
William Powell you the real mvp
I am at the air show
It is not Incident it is call accident
OhDear!
A Student Pilot Life the context works either way dumbass
The C47 and B17 piloting was beautiful. The C47's flying formation in D-Day livery was awesome

I think the only thing missing was one towing a Horsa .
Not to take away from the rest of the video but actual collision occurs around 10:50 . just saying because it's a long video and easy to miss .
Collision? The planes are really solid. I didn’t “see” the collision.
Thanks. I was wondering!
So the mustangs clipped each other? The one that went low after that crashed?
Thank you for pointing that out because it looked like a near-hit, but both planes continued on without sparks, fire, nor even a bounce, at least from the video's perspective.
They tumbled against each other a bit
12:04 you can see the damage done to his left horizontal stab. I'm glad he was able to land the plane like that!
Very Very Lucky indeed ✌️
"Any landing you can walk away from was a good landing. If you can still use the airplane, it was an outstanding landing." Brigadier General Charles Chuck Yeager.
I can confirm the pilot made a safe landing. I was at the show when this happened.

That's more than this video showed.
What happened
Great video. Just love seeing those old birds still flying. Found it in a YT recommendation.
Don't know why there's so many dislikes on this video. I for one am glad that this video didn't have a violent midair and crash at the end. Just barely a nudge between those two Mustangs but you can definitely see some damage on the D model. Great video!
People have been desensitized by school's, shootings, Hollywood, Playstation ect. They love to watch death and destruction or off they go.☠️
Too bad we still dont have any indication of dislikes. Maybe Musk will buy UA-cam and fix it too. lol
@@davebrittain9216 here's hoping!
Wild. You can very clearly see the tailing Mustang being forcefully rotated from the impact, but he just maintains formation to the B17. Incredible that the stabilizer remained attached and the Pilot performed a successful landing
Wow...some very carefree flying....enthusiasts don't need to see vintage planes flying in close proximity...just seeing them flying around is pleasure enough. I saw a Lancaster fly over Studland beach, Dorset a few days ago....it made my year...just to hear those engines and see the incredible restoration...she looked INCREDIBLE!
.
The Man of War P51 is the most beautiful airplane, in my opinion. But it is among many WWII vintage birds that are my favorite. Thank goodness it wasn’t worse. Great, great, video .... please continue sharing these high quality videos of the planes that saved the lives of many. We must never forget. Thank you to all the men and women that served, and are surviving to keep us all safe.

Thank you. Seeing a B-17 in the air is a special treat. Such a storied aircraft, so few remain. May God Bless those that flew them into harms way.
Fantastic video. Thank you for the amazing footage. The sky you had that day provided an excellent back drop to see some really great detail of each of the planes
I was at duxford summer 19 so amazing to see all of that incredible I'm from canada. Amazing video glad every ones ok 👌
I still run outside when I hear an old warbirds flying over.
Every time I'm not passing up a chance of seeing such beauty ✌️
I'm so old now,if I tried that,by the time I got to my door..the airplanes would be jets!!😗😁😆😅
I've lived around aircraft my whole life my ears can identify a Merlin the second I hear it and I'm out my front door xD
Hell, I run outside for a Piper Cub.
It’s Mandatory.
First off, I was introduced to your video through You Tube random selection, as I like to view older warplanes. I must also tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed watching those Dakotas flying in tandem with that magnificent B-17! Brought back a lot of memories from my youth. My mother was from England, in the ATS, and my father was a medic in the US Army and they got married in London on May 9th, 1945. They both loved to go to airshows, both in the US and in Europe, as we were stationed in France (Orleans), Germany (Karlsruhe) and England twice, as my Dad was an Army liaison to two different US Air force bases there. I got to have a great appreciation for these older warplanes, and I don't even have to look up when a P-51 passes overhead; I just know what went by! Thank you, sir, for the memories! God bless you and yours! PS: I have subscribed to your site and look forward to more!
This is fantastic footage, couldn't stop watching it. Very glad the P51 guys were ok despite the mishap.
Some absolutely gorgeous shots here! The aircraft look majestic in contrast to the clouds. Unfortunate collision, but very thankfully no one was hurt. You could see the collision happening almost in slow motion if you knew something was imminent. I'm sure the pilots may have wanted a peek at your footage as well if they knew it existed.
Thank you for the time you took to shoot this,
And upload,
Absolute Poetry of FLight.
Cheers,
Rob USAF
Never tire of hearing those engines traversing the sky overhead. That's the sound of VICTORY!
At war are only losers !!! Winners are only Rock-E-Fellers & Roth-Schilds !!!
Thank the Lord both P-51 pilots were able to land safely! All of those planes are such beautiful war birds and like you suggested, I watched the whole video. That B-17 reminds me of the B-17 Nine-O-Nine that would come to my town every year. I've climbed into the Nine-O-Nine several times as it would come into town. Sadly the Nine-O-Nine crashed October 2, 2019. That still breaks my heart. I still have video from the 90's of the Nine-O-Nine starting her engines.
@Clay Coffman Looking at the pinup on the nose, it looks like the "memphis belle", i just wonder if it's a replica or the real one
I took a photo of my dad (a USAAF WW2 veteran) in front of Nine-O-Nine at Love Field (Dallas, Texas) about five years ago. Was very sad to hear about the crash.
@@slimfastfret sally B was used in the filming of Memphis Belle, as. A kid I remember watching them flying over east anglia for the movie. She retains the nose art to one side as a memento.
..yep...and now, we have lost "Texas Raiders"...😓

Oh my god this comment is golden
Slow and gentle does it. The beauty of flight.
Such beautiful aircraft. Each has their own particular engine noise that makes them easily recognizable. Awesome video.
Thank goodness both pilots got the planes down safely. Usually in mid air collisions it's curtains for at least one party, if not both.
The sounds of vintage aircraft. Fantastic.
We used to have a Dakota here in New Zealand that was a top dresser. That is dumping powdered fertilizer at low level passes not 200m away from our house. The noise was just great, and almost at the same level as our house on the hill.
I'm glad the damage was not extensive and they landed safely.
The recent crash at the Wings over Dallas airshow was horrible. The crews who fly and maintain these planes are passionate about the aircraft and honoring those who flew them in combat.
Thanks for upload, it dropped into my recommendations.
Thanks for sharing, its good to know plenty of us still care about our history
It's fine to care about our history, but we really need to stop living in it.
i just added info on the planes in this video to the description under the video please read that , and as i ran out of the allowed word count i added the B-17 info as a youtube comment so please read that ,
I live out by the AF Academy in Colorado. people don't really get it, when you're got multiple planes in the air, combined with the noise, and the excitement of filming- not to mention looking through a small eyepiece, not taking in the entire sky, it is NOT easy to catch something that subtle, in the "moment". The fact you have it on film happening, was pretty crazy to see- because those B-17's are just awesome to watch.
We have all kinds of "Air Shows" that happen over the Academy, especially during graduation ceremonies- My favorite one I've seen so far, were F-35's doing their thing.
Great job on the filming- albeit a bit too much "zoom" blurring for my old eyes- but easy nuff to look past.
Thanks for posting this. And took your suggestion, subscribed. For times I may not be able to find anything fun to watch.
Thank you for sharing about your dad. Mine flew 120 missions in P 47C s and Ds. Seven sorties on D-Day, starting at 0300 and coming home in the dark. Then into airfields in France, which were usually captured fields right behind the Allied lines. Most of their work was to disrupt Germans supply lines, trains trucks etc. which meant a lot of very low altitude flight. He wrote a letter home to my mother saying that one of his buddies kept coming home with mud on his propeller tip. I believe a P 47D has a 13 foot propeller. He was shot down twice by enemy ground fire, once behind the German lines. An infantry squad saw his plane go in, pushed forward 100 yards against heavy fire and pulled him from the wreck. Then they scampered back to their own lines. They all got pretty drunk at an impromptu party that night, and the grunts presented him with a plaque. If you look at a photo of a P 47, on the port side of the aircraft just Forward of the cockpit you will see a quick release 12“ x 18“ cover where you check the oil. In my dad‘s squadron, the pilots name was written on that cover. Because when you brought an aircraft back full of holes, The ground crews could switch the cover to a new aircraft and you could fly the next mission while they got your old plane patched up. The “plaque “that the infantry guys gave him was that quick release cover with his name written on it hand painted in red. He was killed in a freak accident the day before he was to be discharged from the service. And the plaque hangs in my front hall where I see it every day on my way out the door to be a docent on the USS hornet in Alameda California. Come visit me Sydney, on the ship, if you want to see some great World War II history.
I like the story about swapping the plate to effectively tag the plane for the pilot. I'm so very sorry your father's life was stolen randomly while due to head home after his service. It truly does prove that any one of us can be taken away for anything and at any moment, considering your father survived his entire deployment. That's still a great feat that he owns though and by no means does that accident steal from what he accomplished.
Some beautiful photography here with the planes and the diffuse light with the clouds. Gorgeous.
I watch a lot of aviation videos, much of ‘em World War II-era, and this one just popped up. The one who videoed this deserves an award; more than just the visual recording, the sounds of the planes flying over made me feel like I was there watching them in-person. Man, you had the camera right on the action I wanted to see most at all times, including the field gitting tilled.
I was very relieved to see no crash nor explosion. It was a bit challenging & creepy to watch this footage, because on September 16, 2011, at the Reno Air Races, I was standing 100 yards down the fence line from where The Galloping Ghost slammed 4 rows into the audience. The thump sound of the P-51 pounding into the earth remains in my head 10 years later. I have yet to return to an airshow or pilot a plane. To witness death and total discintegration of a pilot and innocent spectators before your own eyes really messes with you forever.
Watching that B-17 it looks like it just hangs there in the air. The illusion is compounded by the framerate making it look like the props are just windmilling. Absolutely brilliant video, thanks for posting!
Nice work. Beautiful planes and thank you for the description of the video and really any thing else I might want know. You really nailed it and just wanted to say thank you
cheers mate : )
Great video, take a look at the left horizontal stabilizer area. That's where the other clipped it.
Scary event - so glad both made it back safely. The pair looked as if they got very close at 4:20. Loosing sight of the lead aircraft is the stuff of nightmares when in close formation.
Duxford an amazing museum worth 300. visits
Stanley Robinson *losing sight.
@@tombrydson781 many fond school trips there.
Those 2 pilots are not in tune to one another. It just looks like they are flying around haphazardly.
They collided. You can see the damage to the P-51s horizontal left stabilizer when he is landing.
Congrats you have a new subscriber, enjoyed watching all the different aircraft 👍
Hi thanks for the video and your video came up via UA-cam suggested 'Up Next' while I was finishing making my Black Swan Lane - Vita Eterna album playlist, then watching some old train videos. Good Work!
I remember as a kid 3 C47’s flying over my house in Fawkner under the radar say 100 feet above house tops what a beautiful rumble it was. We had DC 3/4’s forever at Essendon airport

@William Needham the two twin-engined planes
My Dad flew DC-3s for EAL after the war. He remembered the serial # of the one in the Smithsonian as one he copiloted.
Thank you very much . I received a 'link' , and I'm glad I responded . I keep thinking of aerial ballet , when I see flying-displays of old war-birds . Love the P-51 , especially the D . I remember about air-racer and stunt-pilot Paul Mantz . In August '44 , he bought 475 (!) surplus bombers and fighters for $55,000 . He kept 12 for 'personal use' then sold the rest for scrap ! 1-2-3-----all-together now----aaaaaargh !!
Extremely awe inspiring video. Instilled the thrill,danger and miracle of flying .
Well done and hats off to you ,respect to you.
Looked to me like the P-51 pilots had situational awareness issues. In fact, the entire air show made me pretty nervous. It appeared not very well planned or choreographed.
I don't go to or endorse air shows any more. It's the wrong time to have accidents and there have been too many over the years.
only one of the P-51 pilots had a shortage of SA!
10:05 Great shot of the B-17 with the zoom!
This video just turned up in my recommendations today. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
Wildlife ... who comes here to watch wildlife. I'm here to watch planes!!
One never tires watching these amazing old birds. Great footage. My bet there was a bit of a chat after the incident.
To be as large as those B-17's are, they are sure graceful in the air.
Not a b17 they have 4 engines
I used to live near Falcon Field in Mesa, Arizona, and the CAF has a B17 stationed there called Sentimental Journey. They would fly her over the Superstition Mountains several times a year and lots of times I would be out in the back yard BBQ'ing for my family when they flew her over. Usually accompanied by a Beech 18 plane set up for photography, also owned by the CAF. She was always so graceful in the sky!
One night I saw a twin engined aircraft that had just taken off and flew right over my car , flying away from me. At first I thought it was a DC3, but it just didn't look right. Then it turned and I could see that it was a HE 111. A few weeks later it crashed and the worlds only flying example was gone. Very sad, but it to was graceful in the air. Not as grand as the B17, but it was incredible to see it flying. Years later I saw a B24 headed in for a landing at Williams Gateway. It was turning to line up for a landing and the fueselage was so deep that I could only see the left main landing gear. I kind of freaked out but then it leveled out and I could see both gear were down. I'd hate to see it crash!
Unladen, she flies like a powered sailplane.
But she takes forever to get anywhere.

What enormous props those Mustangs have. Regular windmills. No wonder they were so fast. I'm glad this one made it down alright with that damage.

I found this video because I was watching other videos of WWII aircraft, and this one popped up in my feed. I've been lucky enough to take a flight on the B-17 Aluminum Overcast just last October, and intend to catch another ride soon. Although I hate to see these aircraft fly to the point were they end up as a statistic in a FAA investigation, I can't help but want to see them fly and to actually ride in one as well. It is an actual dream come true.
Your video was suggested randomly. Excellent work!

If you look at 04:20 the silver Mustang made a very sketchy move on the lead plane. I thought that was going to be the accident
From Thailand.🇹🇭 C47 aircraf tare still in service with the Royal Thai Air Force. But improved to change the engine to be a turbo plotter engine Used in aviation, transpost very well.👍 Thank you🙏.
this was filmed 23 September 2017 if you look though all the playlists ive created here ua-cam.com/users/AwesomeFullHDvideosplaylists?view=1&sort=dd&shelf_id=0 you will find other air shows ive filmed with the videos very helpfully grouped together for you, the Duxford Air Show videos for September 2017 are here ua-cam.com/play/PLiVKwaUJvwmXJqTWuqoEex30FQozeTBkj.html so watch what else I filmed if you wish
Still love watching the series " Airline " Love watching the Box series
" They " have no business flying theses historic aircraft in any type of formation with other aircraft. Fly them alone, by themselves with no other aircraft anywhere near them. History is slowly being destroyed.
You seem fun
agree, although with an exemption for pilots who are employed full-time to display vintage aircraft to be allowed in formations
excellent camera work! very close thing indeed! Well DONE!
i just added info on the planes in this video to the description under the video please read that , and as i ran out of the allowed word count i added the B-17 info as a youtube comment so please read that ,
Rhwre is a supweb video. On u tube. S say from a german perspextive. Its like you wre thers too. Mebfions the c47s flting ovwd witg d day strupes
Beautiful videography beautiful formation flying thank you for posting!
Where ever you live it’s very beautiful and calm. I love the overcast sky.
I remember when RAF Duxford was a real working aerodrome. My father was a senior RAF photographer and took some shots of horrific accidents there. Once an air technician cut himself in half by over-filling an ioxygen tank, and in another a maintenance bod released the emergency seat of the aircraft while in the hangar. Both messy. A small factory in Duxford, village incidentally developed Aerolite Glue while my mother worked there. The Coronation Coach was also (re-tyred) in the factory at the same time.
Really?
My Dad worked at Ciba (the factory is still there and still making stuff for the aerospace industry) for years, so we got to go to the air shows every year and be right by the flight line. Sally B was always the highlight, well that and the Vulcan.
More like blew himself in half
I was flying on SallyB that day as 2nd Engineer and watched the 2 Mustangs coming in from the starboard waist gun position. Crazy to think that with all that airspace they could contact.....it could have been much much worse!
The one Mustang pilot was very unfamiliar with the term "sink rate" and not just once but at least two times overshot then throttled back excessively and over controlled to stay in proximity of the other Mustang forgetting that in the process his sink rate would be high.
@@brustar5152: If he wasn't that skilled, then why was he up there flying next to the others? VERY FOOLISH to invite a nonskilled pilot buzz around everyone else in the sky over spectators.
seems to me you're missing the point - the display was about formation flying, which means not spreading out across the airspace!
@@brustar5152 sink rate is nothing to do with it
I've become quite the plane enthusiast. I hope to fly a plane some day. It's definitely on my bucket list
UA-cam brought this video up for me as a suggestion today because I’ve been watching similar videos.
@13:00, you're welcome
* Mustangs literally collide mid air *
Guy with camera: hmm, looks like he's going a bit low...
very hard to tell if they touched so not a silly comment by me, your comment is more of a hrrmm whats wrong with you
@@AwesomeFullHDvideos yea, he just outted himself as someone who isn't very knowledgeable about aviation.
DC-3, Dakota, Daisy or whatever you call it, is one of the most beautiful aircarft ever made. I've made a skydive out from one at 2000 feet, great aircraft!
Dakota, Skytrain, DC-3, C-47, Puff the Magic Dragon, Spooky
Thanks for sharing. Beautiful and well maintained airplanes.
Hello from Canada! Could you tell me what equipment you used? The quality is excellent.
Nice footage and nice camera and zoom. Not sure why so many dislikes, people have the attention span of a goldfish these days. Anyway, glad pilot is ok, that was close.
The dislikers read “accident” and were expecting to see a big ball of fire.
You asked why I happened to watch this video: I like WWII aircraft and I saw the image of the video and I decided to take a look. I subscribed to your channel because of this video. Thank you for producing it.
Indescribable beauty seeing and hearing these planes fly.
That was such a bad ass video, thanks for posting!!!
thanks
Thank Heavens both planes and pilots were safe!
As a kid I would build Airfix kits and the Douglas Dakota was my favourite plane to make. There is something elegant about this machine.
I lived close to Duxford Essex .My father was a farmer and we had 5 German Luftwaffe bomber pilots/crew who landed their planes at Duxford after dropping their bombs in Essex country side and surrendered. Working on our farmer sitting the war out arriving at 6 am till 9 pm ( pm long evenings) We had the best German worked farm !!! not many know this .Swallows Farm Wimbish 1942
Sorry to to say, but money is going to kill some of these guys. Pretty bad formation flying.
Think it's the bad piloting that is dangerous TBH.
Those are c-47’s, not p-51’s
@@leemcmillian7260 the P-51 comes later
@@leemcmillian7260 P51s are later in the video.

Superb video. Scary stuff.
Very good footage of all the planes... lot's of nice, gentle pans and following of the aircraft. Good camerawork!
cheers Don
This.video popped up on UA-cam. As to how I came around to view it I watch other aviation videos and this one just popped up. Good show. Glad no one was hurt.
Beautiful aircraft from a bygone era That changed the course of history.🤔
So true. Such beautiful and important pieces of history.
The course of history isn' t pre-determined and cannot be 'changed'.

I am 92. As an ATC cadet in 1944, I had a contact with the 306 BG based at Thurleigh. I was fortunate enough to wangle the two flights in a B17, going for new engine test, sat in the Bombardier's seat, 10 minutes duration, new engine caught fire, urgent return! 2nd flight was unusual, low level practice over S England, again in B's seat. 3 hrs. Memorable!!!.
10:38 It's almost as if the Mustang pilots were surprised by their closing rate on the B-17.
The right-hand Mustang essentially lost altitude during the hard-over.
I'm probably wrong, though.
From the accident report: "The pilots had briefed and agreed that the lead P-51 would join on the B-17’s right side and the other on its left side. However, during the display both pilots tried to join on the B-17’s right, resulting in the two P-51s colliding.”
Your parents made the 1st mistake.
@Sarah Michel Lafreniere Don't feed the troll
@Sarah Michel Lafreniere HaHa yep splat that troll like a bug 😁✌️
As a junior schoolboy me and some pals used to play with some scrapped planes in a place called Simonswood just outside Kirkby Nr Liverpool. I did not realise at the time that it was probably a scrap site for WW2 planes. I could sit inside some of the cockpits and play with the joy sticks, some of them also still had the instruments/clocks fitted.
If only I knew how important those broken machines were, I think back so often of those times and wonder what were those planes, I don't know and will never know, if only?
Thank you for posting this, I found it because I have been watching flying videos, commercial...etc..
awesome footage, would've loved to see that airshow! vintage warbirds, good piloting, smooth cameraman (who knows when to get that close in zoom) and poster even links the accident report. yet an unusually high number of dislikes- sure hope it wasn't because you couldn't find the crash or worse yet because you didn't see a massive fireball and carnage...
3:45 ah yes. a tractor. marvelous.
@UrMom truly.
Saw it my recommended feed kind sir ..thanks for the vids man!
Thanks for watching!
Good video man, as for the description, that was really wholesome
Glad you liked it!
They fly with that ceiling, ten tenths ?!
Went to Kubinka (Moscow Region) several years ago, there the MiG 29'sand 31's were into the cloud cover before they raised their landing gear. A very disappointing day.
This is England. It's ALWAYS ten tenths!
eight eights
it's CAVOK! no worries
slimchancetoo If it was 10/10s they’d say 8/8s. But it’s nothing like 8//8s and the cloud is quite high. It actually looks like good flying conditions.
Negative inertia from downward pressure most likely caused a -3 degree or more drop in fixed wing vertical fold. This can cause a stage 2 mass thermalturbine failure....
I have no idea what i am talking about....
Sadly, mid air collisions are not unusual at Duxford air shows.
Ummmmmm.... a clogged ventrical tube from Flux Capacitor to surface of the aircraft would give an incorrect pressure reading which would cause the thermal turbine to incorrectly provide altitude therefore causing the system to over heat.
Amazing footage….you can really imagine these majestic birds flying into battle.
When I saw the title of the vid, I was worried that it was like what happened in Dallas recently. But thank goodness it wasn’t serious and no one got hurt or killed! 😭
Gotta be careful when flying in close proximity.
Wow look at that elevator! these two better appreciate life especially the one in the silver and blue mustang
