Can’t see a Spitfire flyover video without thinking about the late Alain De Cadenet who said, “Fuck me!”

Is it me or does he have a little side slip going on?
ChapterThr33@reddit
He definitely power sliding for the speed boost

The plane, the view, the sound. Amazing!

Beautiful video.

I would love to fly in one of these one day. I assume this is operated by https://www.spitfires.com ?

It’s fun to fly in VR Aces of Thunder, I would recommend the PlayStation version though.

Adopt me, I will do any job to live there.
StraighOuttaCrompton@reddit (OP)
There’s a job going in the pub if you want one?
justec1@reddit
Sign me up! We'll be there in June.

You know there's probably some 105-year-old guy sleeping around there who heard that sound, woke up, said "oh fuck, not again, ok whatever" and went looking for his bolt-action rifle.

SO damn AWESOME! Sounds SO cool! I wouldn't mind hearing that every once in a while. However, I may be always outside waiting for it.

Hold on you get this and the festival of speed? Hit the lottery

I’m usually a bit upset when I’m awoken early on a Sunday, but when it’s the Brawn F1 car I don’t mind too much.
It was running last week for the members meeting, and they regularly have rally events and such that a free to watch. Great place to live if you appreciate cars/aircraft.

It was pretty special to see.

I once had once go right over me at about the same height in Prestwick. I could feel the rumble of those engines go right through me. It was glorious.
robo-dragon@reddit
Still the most perfect airplane sound out there. Music to my ears!

Why where you sleeping in a field?
nunu6k@reddit
Such a beautiful aircraft, and that engine sound!! I can only imagine what your family may have saw and heard during WW2, seeing a sky filled with these and other aircraft of the time.

If it weren't for the camera quality, I'd believe you if you told me this was world war era footage.
StrangerExistingFact@reddit
Woken up and asked to get granpa out of the tomatoes where he dived in again

such a great sound.
It musta really been wild to hear a dozen or more of those flying overhead at once.

What a plane…
StraighOuttaCrompton@reddit (OP)
They’re beautiful aren’t they?
The sound, the design. A piece of art.
Dooks_fr@reddit
Absolutely love it, together with the Hurricane. Had countless replicas as a kid, not even teen. The fortress is a beast and the Zero is massive. I also like the Stuka design even if it wasn’t a great plane for dog war.
Silly-Low6019@reddit
Simply amazing! My favorite WW2 aircraft. I love Spitfire more than the Mustangs despite being an American. 😀
GreenMonster34@reddit
That Spirfire Bird on ig has tons of amazing info on spitfires. Lots of stories about ones that were lost and now fly again and so much more!
Corkscrewer45@reddit
As do I!

Hello neighbour!

Somewhere Jeremy Clarkson is having a stroke trying to figure out if he should be posting a screenshot of the flight with the caption “Put a muffler on it!” or staring up in amazement.
Jessie_C_2646@reddit
Suddenly I want to move there.
