Supermarine Spitfire is one of my favourite planes as well as the P51D Mustang which is my number one overall. And just listen to the fantastic sound of those roaring Merlin engines I love it

[@brakeollie27]

Absolutely stunning! Thanks for posting.

[@HighFlight]

A pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@harrymcandrew1447]

gotta love how the red arrows kept formation with one another and synchronized movements i bet it took a hell of a lot of training to keep flight formation aswell

[@BIGNEWY]

Thanks for sharing

[@HighFlight]

A pleasure. Hope you enjoy it?

[@airailimages]

Thanks for posting. Nice job. And there's something about the sound of a Merlin in a Spitfire...

[@lyndsaymcmillan6428]

Do you have a museum that the public can go to that has planes

[@johndavid5618]

[@welcome3933]

Supermarine Spitfire along with Hawker Hurricane are the famous fighter planes that saved British from German’s Luftwaffe attack to London during the legendary Battle of Britain in 1941. Spitfire and Hurricane fought hard against Luftwaffe’s Messerschmitt Bf-109, Focke Wulf Fw-190. All British fighter planes are powered by Rolls Royce engines while all Luftwaffe fighters are powered by Mercedes or BMW engines

[@Hallolol97]

great, thanks for uploading

[@HighFlight]

A pleasure and I hope that you enjoy it?

[@jnhumble]

Great footage! I used to be a regular visitor and I never regretted the round trip from Antwerp. This year the weather too was a performer, with perfect cloud and lighting. A pity Miss Velma didn't make it back to the runway...

[@donttellhimpike7303]

Best I have seen yet, Excellent work, very good quality and a lot of effort. Thanks a lot.

[@HighFlight]

Many thanks for your appreciation and for enjoying the film.

[@stuartwillis7982]

Best show I have ever seen.

[@helengibbs7177]

SALUTE!💙💚💚💙🌠🌟

[@josipvrandecic2472]

Everything is at the highest level ... Dear Steve thanks from my heart ... indeed !!

[@HighFlight]

Thankyou Josip. Enjoy watching.

[@TIHIR1]

Thank you for this, really nice video, well done!

[@HighFlight]

Thankyou, my pleasure. I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. I'm still working on more to come from 2017 and plan to do more during 2018, but sadly I won't be covering Flying Legends this year as it clashes with RIAT.

[@kimjrsing7158]

Travelled all the way from Denmark to be there and it certainly was worth the trip. What a great show !

[@HighFlight]

Nicely done. I'm guessing and hope that you'll return again for another show. Thankyou for viewing too!

[@QG-vz4qg]

I liked their engines sounds! Can I use them? Because I want to put these sounds in my movie!

[@HighFlight]

Yes, you can use the sounds just for your movie.👍

[@billmracek9646]

Has the Flying Legends ever performed in Canada at all and if so where?

[@HighFlight]

No it hasn't. It's a purely UK based show that is put on by The Fighter Collection (TFC) who are based at Duxford. Since 2019 the show has not been held because the agreement with Duxford to hold the show there was allowed to lapse (there's some unknown economics and politics somewhere behind that decision I think?). TFC announced last month that the show will return this year in July, to be held at Leeds East Airport (recently and formerly RAF Church Fenton). I'm not aware of any similar 'warbird heavy' shows in Canada but an sure that there are some in the USA hosted by the Commemorative Air Force at various locations.

[@donttellhimpike7303]

Bearcat was flown well, nearly as good as Stefan Karwowski used to fly it in the 80s. Blue skies Stef, your not forgotten 👏👏

[@HighFlight]

There is an interview here with Stefan Karwowski standing in front of the very same Bearcat as the one in this film, although the aircraft number and ID has changed since. Looking at the background I'm pretty sure that the interview would have been done at one of the Great Warbirds Airshows in the early 80's at West Malling in Kent, sadly now a housing estate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/laKteqJjbt6Cnas

[@donttellhimpike7303]

High Flight Thank you very much for the Stefan Video, made my day. I have the obituary from Stephen Grey ( they were good friends) I just read it and got sentimental over it ....crazy when it's 30 years on!

[@HighFlight]

There's nothing wrong with memories or sentimentality. It's good that those who have gone before and did 'good works' are remembered by those that they 'touched' with their lives. Sadly far too many 'masters of the air' had their lives cut short doing what they loved. Blue skies to them all.

[@donttellhimpike7303]

I just added this comment to the Stefan video Rob Farmer , Hi, I totally agree with you Rob, I have pages in in my photo album of the 80s with photos and tributes to Stefan. When he flew aero in the bearcat it's was incredible. other than Ray Hanna I still do not think I have seen a flying display to the same level. he was good friends with Stephen Gray (bearcat owner). In the obituary Stephen says "that when he last saw Stefan they were working on an idea to spring a mig 21 from an Arab state, paint it pink and terrorise the airshows circuit." I smile to think about it. CHeers

[@MrJpbmusic2005]

"MH434" was that the Spit that the Late Ray Hanna flew? Brilliant Footage really missing the airshows this Year

[@HighFlight]

Joey - Thanks. It certainly is Ray Hanna's old mount. Shuttleworth are holding some airshows over the next few months and have already held 2 'socially distanced' Drive-In shows - see here - www.shuttleworth.org/events/airshows/ plus IWM Duxford are holding a Battle of Britain show on 18/19 September - www.iwm.org.uk/airshows (plus an evening event on 17/9) and also have 'showcase days' with about 2 hours of flying - tomorrow 4/8 and 19/8 - www.iwm.org.uk/events/showcase-days (free entry for members to showcase days).

[@vanssan1414]

fab!

[@TheJannerDave]

A superb video - were you filming from the Friends of Duxford enclosure? Excellent quality video, may I ask what video camera you use please? Thanks.

[@HighFlight]

Thankyou. Yes, most of this was filmed from the FoD enclosure. I was using a Sony FDR-AX53 camcorder. It's excellent stabilisation system gives the ability with practice to shoot handheld in 4K.

[@juliannortheast2271]

It was a shock again after the Balbo p51 miss Velma crash landing in the field

[@HighFlight]

Yes, it was, but so good that neither the pilot or anybody else was hurt. The plane will be mended. It's currently in USA being worked on I believe?

[@juliannortheast2271]

Yeah I notice he did not die or lucky there was no people on the Field

[@davidk6264]

I though Duxford was about the European air war , The Avenger and Corsair seam out of place.

[@HighFlight]

Duxford is not just about the European Air War and I don’t think has ever been. This airshow has been held for many years. It’s staged by The Fighter Collection who are a company that hire hangar space and base their collection at Duxford. The theme of the show is ‘Flying Legends’. The museum includes many exhibits that are unrelated to wars or the European Air War e.g. prototype Concorde, various British Airliners, USAF Museum including an SR71 Blackbird and many others. The Avenger and Corsair are most definitely not out of place - the rarer the better.

[@martinplanes2053]

The worst thing about Flying Legends......that bloody Frenchman talking over all of those wonderful engine sounds!

[@HighFlight]

Unfortunately 'commentators' just don't know when to keep quiet. They think that they are paid per word!

[@lyndonredpath7214]

Martin Planes Almost as bad as loud music being played during displays
