We have all probably seen this video at least a dozen times, but hey! it has got to be worth watching it another dozen times:

Turn the volume UP!



Then of course there is this one:

There was a short film about a Spitfire and Messerschmitt dog fight 4-5 years ago, about 10 minutes long it was quite clever and they both end up going down, the question is where have they landed?

[ovenpaa]

This is the making of the film and it was called 'The German' sadly I cannot find the original film.

EDIT - Here it is in full, it looks a bit dated now but worth a look

The IL-2 Sturmovik is worthy of a mention as the Russian equivalent of the Typhoon.A very effective tank-buster and ground attack aircraft, quoted by Stalin as "being as important to the Red Army as bread and air".

[Jenks]

the Typhoon was without doubt a great aircraft but the Hawker Tempest V was even better. Have a look at this video, it's long and highly informative.

If anyone on here has contact with Andy Gent...Match Rifle and 300m shooter....he has flown Spitfires in recent times and it would be interesting to hear what he thinks about flying them....

but the Hawker Tempest V was even better.

Which then morphed into the sea fury, one of which managed to shoot down a Mig-15 in Korea
