The two most iconic airplanes in my opinion are the Sopwith Camel and the SR 71 Blackbird they were made just 50 years apart. 🤯

[@leoray1234]

that’s insane?

Mind blowing

We used to be an ingenious bunch. Now we can't figure out what sex we are.

Wonderful ! So nice to see this "late production" aeroplane in the air, I never dig get to see this one, so many thanks for taking me along on this show.

[@HighFlight]

Thankyou. Again, it's a pleasure to be able to share these gems with you and others who are not able to get to the shows in person. I have a few more 'gems' from Shuttleworth waiting 'in the wings'.

I'm always saying that quote.

[@CanadianSmoke]

Two of my favourite aircraft makes, Sopwith and Hawker. The Pup, the Camel, the Hurricane, the Typhoon.

My fav WW1 warbird as a boy

[@astraluna6is9]

What a sight indeed.

[@hairbag4096]

I like them all, but just about my favorite WW1 fighter plane.

[@polovski1000]

Superb video many thanks for posting.

[@HROM1908]

You can now see a one half scale model in Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada. Contact their museum. Beautifully built.

[@redfo3009]

I am just building this model with my 7 year old son! 😃

[@HighFlight]

It was the most recent Airfix model that I made. A nice little model for your son to do. The most fiddly bit was when I added all of the bracing 'wires', which of course you don't have to do. I used glued on strands from a paint brush!

[@truecrimepodcasting]

I must’ve spent hours flying one of these things around O’Hare in Flight Sim 2.0. Awesome aircraft!

[@erichonecker1010]

Love the camel...

[@Perich29]

Microsoft flight sim brought me here.

[@michaelhartzell9758]

Chuck Yeager Flight sim for computers of the 80's was fantastic! Unlimited ammo was great!

[@madzen112]

Do they still have one in the Imperial War Museum?

[@samypons9023]

Good job

[@estherb522]

I am learning about the sopwith camal in school

[@Bellringercameron]

3:15 what museum is that? And is it in UK?

[@HighFlight]

It's called 'The Shuttleworth Collection' at Old Warden near Luton, Bedfordshire in the UK. Here's a link to their website - www.shuttleworth.org

[@Bellringercameron]

Thx

[@Wasssuppp711]

what a ww1 plane still flying

[@HighFlight]

There are quite a few original WW1 era planes still flying. This one is actually a reproduction that was completed in 2017, so It's not as old as it might seem.

[@DesGardius-me7gf]

Snoopy’s plane.

[@sugarnads]

Biggles' aeroplane.

[@beowulf1312]

British fighters that won the war.

[@mantegna1506]

That's a very 🔥 girl!!! 😍😍😍

[@theredbaron4573]

Thats original one?

[@HighFlight]

No, it's a 'new build replica'. The final 6 paragraphs of the extended description give details. I believe that Sir Thomas Sopwith said, when he saw the completed build, that it is good enough to be classed as an original production variant?

"The sky is about to become another battlefield no less important than those of land and sea. To conquer the air, it is necessary to deprive the enemy of all forms of flight, attacking him in the air, in his operation bases or in their production centers. We'd better get used to this idea and prepare ourselves" Giulio Douhet (Caserta, May 30, 1869 - Albano, February 15, 1930) Italian Army´s Officer stating in 1909 the principles and advantages of the use of airplanes in the tactical organization of military operations Greetings from Venezuela "El cielo está a punto de convertirse en otro campo de batalla no menos importante que los de tierra y mar. Para conquistar el aire, es necesario privar al enemigo de toda forma de volar, atacándolo en el aire, en sus bases de operación o en sus centros de producción. Será mejor que nos acostumbremos a esta idea y nos preparemos" Giulio Douhet (Caserta, 30 de Mayo 1869 - Albano, 15 de Febrero 1930) Militar italiano enunciando en 1909 los principios y ventajas del uso de los aviones en la organización táctica de las operaciones militares.

Thanks. A very relevant quotation. Greetings from England. Gracias. Una cita muy relevante. Saludos desde Inglaterra.😊

[@thegreat_I_am]

I’ve never enjoyed flying the Camel, even though l respect its qualities…it’s just too touchy. The SE5 is a joy to fly, as is the Fokker DVII. That said, my scariest ride was the Fokker EIII - it’s like a bloody farm cart!

[@michaelhartzell9758]

Who else thought tie fighters from star wars!! Ye ha

[@michaelduffey5518]

These old planes . Passenger a problem ? Easy fix .

[@pyro-maniac4349]

Wasnt the sopwith one of the deadliest to take off with and to drive? It actually caused as much death in the air as in the airfield, yes It was superior the fokker eindecker models but It was NOT a good plane in my opinion

[@HerrCobra_762]

Is this a reproduction or an original?

[@HighFlight]

It’s a reproduction made between 1995 and 2013.

[@HerrCobra_762]

@@HighFlight ah got ya. I'd love to see an original fly again. LoL

[@HighFlight]

@@HerrCobra_762 There's an original flying in New Zealand with The Vintage Aviator, registered ZK-SDL. It was sold by a museum in Arkansas USA in 2010 and restored to fly by the new owners.
