Historic Warbirds Over Wanaka Film - Featuring A German Fighter

[@ZacYates]

One of the videos I practically wore out as a kid from rewatching, especially for the "Me109J" and the Kittyhawk. What a show! Thank you for preserving this online and doing the remaster work!

Isn't that 'German' BF109 actually a Spanish Ha 1112?

[@HistAvFilmUnit]

Yes it is.

They discuss that very fact in the full video, which until the end of Easter weekend (19/4/2022) you can watch in full for FREE -- see the details here: www.aviationfilm.com/video/easter22

@@HistAvFilmUnit Perfect thanks

[@Nastyswimmer]

Yes - built in the early 1950s and powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin

[@Cervando]

@@Nastyswimmer It was a rhetorical question. As to the Merlin engine, it depends which version. Only the last, the M1L, used the Merlin. Previous ones used Hispano-Suiza engines. This appears to be a M1L however, because of the pronounced air intake scoop under the nose. The earlier ones had a more streamlined nose that was similar to the Messerschmitt it was based on.
