      @AJ P the tin hat morons like you are the problem. everything's a conspiracy... some of us are rational, logical thinkers and that doesn't make us "sheep". Just because some of us dont buy into your conspiracy theories, how does that make us slaves to propaganda? .. one could argue the silly morons who believe anything anti-authority are the real sheep.... I am in no way a blind believer of the media, in fact I dislike the mainstream media for it's current destruction of free speech and trying to label everyone with a different opinion as "racist, fascist or bigot".. however it doesnt mean I believe every silly conspiracy circulating. what makes your sources more valid than anybody else?

      It looks like it's a bunch of tin hats looking though some of the comments.
      Seems at least one person believes that the Nazis were the good guys, and WWII was all a big propaganda campaign.

      @zeddy mcdog Nah it was a different commenter they basically said if the other side won in ww2 we would no longer have wars. And the Ally's were the bad guys. (Unfortunately in war it's all shades of grey)
      I assume the person I was making reference to was ether a troll or must have used a lot of tin foil for there hat.
      Sorry if you thought I was making reference to yourself, I did look though the comments trying to find out why someone would dislike the video, as it's a feel-good piece.

    It's always a privilege to see and hear the Spitfire and Hurricane. They epitomise the courage, struggle and determination necessary to rise up when the chips are down and triumph against all odds. Colonel Tom Moore is a remarkable man, born of a remarkable generation, who can appreciate the magnificent spectacle, but also truly understand what these aircraft represent. " I've seen them fly in anger and today they fly in peace"....courage honour and humility. The perfect sentiment to 'all' concerned in this very fitting tribute. Happy 100th birthday sir !

      Piotr, i come from a place called Whitchurch in north Shropshire in England. Near our town there is a place called Higher Heath. During the second world war there was a small aerodrome there and many polish pilots came and lived there doing immeasurable service for freedom. Many families from the polish community still live there. Without their bravery and skill along with the raf who knows what we would have faced. Thanks to the fortitude of your nation along with many others the good defeated the evil. Give thanks and prayers for your lost and survivors. Best wishes, Cuzz.

      @@joshbrown5034 My grandfather, who was the Chief of Staff of the Lodz Army, was killed on 19.09.1939 in a lap between the Nazi and Soviets. The second grandfather, who was only a captain but commanded a battalion, was seriously wounded in the largest battle of 1939 on the Bzura River. He spent the war in the German "oflag" camp, and after its end and return to Poland he was persecuted as an officer by the communists. Uncles fought in England, one in Tobruk, Monte Casino and Rome, and the other in arm with the English in the armored division from Normandy through Belgium, the Netherlands, to Wilhelmshaven.

    Happy birthday to Captain Tom ! Thanks for posting this! My father was in the Cold Stream Gaurd during WWII. He was fascinated with the Spitfire and told us how it changed the war. Unfortunately I lost him in 2017 at the age of 90 . This story reminds me of his smile when he talked about these amazing aircraft.
