They are all priceless beauties, please take care. Just week back we lost two warbirds B17 and mustang in USA. 🤦‍♀️

[@martinplanes2053]

Wonderful. They should write this into the public constitution that all these classic historical aircraft should be kept flying for as long as possible as a recognition to our heritage.

[@davidhill4758]

Well said Martin.

[@jackhayes1904]

There is nothing to compare to this most magnificent aircraft .

[@geraldillo]

The early evening backlight makes this extraordinary airshow look like a beautiful painting.

[@md.sanwarhossain970]

It is so nice... so nice. Wonderful sky and daylight. Fantastic air show.

[@b577960]

[@someutubchannel69]

The sight and sound of the might Spitfires taking off from a grass field in groups one after the other, that goes to the soul. It brought tears to my eyes knowing that this was but a taste of what the squadrons entering into the Battle of Britain looked and sounded like. That Merlin sound, the growl of freedom not willing to succumb to the fascist onslaught of Hitler. Not knowing if they would come back or not, those brave souls, most likely scared half to death but knowing that their cause was just, their fight righteous, and if it came to be, their sacrifice would not be in vain, for their brothers and sisters in arms would carry the fight on, ensuring freedom would prevail. Then, the whole flight of Spitfires coming over, incredible, absolutely incredible.

Brilliant audio, absolutely fantastic!

[@daanje1062]

Also thanks to whoever captured this event on video.

[@madmonty1945]

12:34 goose bumps all the way :) beautiful sound

[@CheekyPeach]

Genuinely made me tear up wathcing that. To think that sight and sound was the symbol of hope for so many, this videa really brings it home.

[@milannossek586]

Wonderful sight! To complete the show a flight of hurricanes should have joined the spitfires, they deserve the same appreciation.

[@glassofmilk3474]

Name a plane more iconic than a classic Spitfire.

[@richardraby6266]

Very, very spine tingling, what a sound, shame my lap-top even with headphones doesn't do this justice. This is a taster for what the sensation must have been back in the day, but then it was life or death and a daily or even hourly struggle. Somehow this "squadron" just seems to bring the sight and sound at least much closer, WOW!

[@simonsharkey5873]

Wat a beautiful airplane and the sound ove the merlin engine is incredible

[@nshelitack]

amazing flying skills.love the spitfire

[@danfarris135]

Wonderful sight and sound to be had!

[@crotalusadamanteus4285]

Wenn es auch Feindmaschinen waren so ist es trotzdem schön sie in einem derart gepflegte Zustand fliegen zu sehen, mögen sie noch lange ihre Runden drehen Viele Grüße und viel Glück aus Deutschland.

[@billygillan821]

Wow totally amazing,and to be there would of been the best,so many legends of airplanes.❤️❤️❤️

[@thomasnewton8997]

The spitfires are amazing and they played there part in winning the battle of britain but the unsung hero and the plane that shot down more enemy aircraft than any other even today and flowe more mishons than any other is the hawker hurricane

[@sidiswpl]

Breathtaking!

[@johndavid5618]

The true spirit of England. ✌️

[@philiptaylor3568]

[@LOKOMOTYWA77]

most beautiful ever

[@barbelhammer]

One of the videos of the same aircraft I took on a "Spitfire Day", where I had the opportunity to see it right up close. Beautiful aircraft. Thanks to all the Polish pilots that played such an important role in helping to win the Battle of Britain (and beyond). kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZy0aKVorbeAe7c

[@petergraves2085]

The Big Wing of Duxford flies again !

[@detheroc58]

Beautiful!!

[@somegirl558]

I love Spitfiries.

[@grahammoore-grundy9944]

This just showed up in my feed,wonderful video! I was lucky enough to fly in two seater Spitfire MT 818 in August 2021, but could not see her here. Give there are so few surviving Spitfires, getting 17 together was a magnificent feat, but do any viewers know if there has been a larger formation since end WW2?

[@windyhillbomber]

Probably during the filming of the movie The Battle of Britain in the 60s From Wikipedia; The film required a large number of period aircraft. In September 1965 producers Harry Saltzman and S. Benjamin Fisz contacted former RAF Bomber Command Group Captain T.G. 'Hamish' Mahaddie to find the aircraft and arrange their use.[6] Eventually 100 aircraft were employed, called the "35th largest air force in the world".[8] With Mahaddie's help, the producers located 109 Spitfires in the UK, of which 27 were available although only 12 could be made flyable. Mahaddie negotiated use of six Hawker Hurricanes, of which three were flying.[9] The film helped preserve these aircraft, including a rare Spitfire Mk II which had been a gate guardian at RAF Colerne in Wiltshire

[@grahammoore-grundy9944]

@@windyhillbomber many thanks for taking the time, much appreciated!

[@johnhammond9962]

The P-47 has a really nice , curvy wing. But the Spit is queen. Very sexy.

[@weldermartins2715]

these aircraft are particular or belong to government???? So beautiful.

[@Noonster9]

Actually you're both nominally right, I was there and 3 of the formation were 'Seafires'-Spitfires modified/adapted for aircraft carrier roles- in any case who cares? Just watch, listen & savour :o)

[@ChristianFrench1]

I’ve no idea who that person talking was. I kept quiet and savoured the sound unlike a few people

[@kiwi6444]

Good to see most taxing with the stick back.

[@vuelor9050]

These guyes are heroes.

[@chrisg1947]

Marvelous Sight but why are those people clapping? The Pilots can't hear them ffs it spoils the sound of those Merlin Engines

[@ChristianFrench1]

The guy with the camera clicking away constantly was pretty annoying too!

[@micheledicapua7398]

Sound meraviglioso

[@patricefauvette1651]

Impressionnant ces 17 Spitfires de la Bataille d'Angleterre !!!

[@ju44kanyaka76]

Вот, что значит, любовь к Родине

[@o0bananaman0o]

imagine being a bomber formation and seeing those bad boys comin at ya

[@richardraby6266]

Yes that's what won the conflict, the German casualty rate scared those bomber crews and Goering had to give in before he got a mutiny on his hands, .

[@seaham3d695]

The spit is about to become the hockle.

[@DaniloSilva-ye2el]
