If you momentarily close the eyes as the aircraft passes the excellent separation you have really works - I had my headphones on the wrong way round at first!!
Thanks, I filmed this video with two separate mono microphones one for Left, one for Right . Fed them into the video camera via a connector. I then had each microphone pointing away from each other to get the full stereo separation. It's a bit of a faff but I think it makes all the difference. Another important thing that most people forget is, always have a good quality Wind Gag, nothing worse than having a great video being wrecked by wind noise. As always TheSkipjack95, Thanks for your continued support. Kind regards AW
One Bristol "Blenheim" Mk.I, was discovered, ( actually 2 of them ), still in its crates forgotten, in a portuguese technical college, in Lisbon!! ( They were as new airframes ). One of them, ( that one ), was given tho the RAF Museum, the other, still in the crate too, I dont know its whereabouts. ( Still lost ??)
Ineke Mateman In the 1960s I was in the Air Training Corps in New Zealand. Our National Commandant was Wing Commander Mel Innes-Jones, who was a pilot in a Blenheim squadron when the War started. In later years, he retired to the town where I had a business and became one of my customers. He told many stories of his war years, one of which was the enormous casualty rate in his squadron at the start of the War - he said after 15 months, only he and one other were all that were left of the original pilots. The Blenheim had a feature that he said saved his life one day. The turret could be retracted, giving the aircraft another 30 mph. He was being chased home across the North Sea by two ME 110s that were firing at him from extreme range - he could see the occasional cannon shell hitting the water ahead of him. He had the turret retracted and the throttles wide open and managed to stay ahead of them until they gave up and turned back.
I was at the Denham airshow in ‘87 (so..30 years ago) when the Blenheim crashed performing a touch and go.. I think, but may be wrong, that this is a rebuild to Mk1 configuration. I remember reading about John Romain talking about it in an article..
It's not the 1987 Blenheim. After this was written off in the Denham crash, a second Bolingbroke was used as the basis of second restoration project led, once again, by Graham Warner. This second restoration was also a MkIV (as the Bolingbroke and MkIV Blenheim were very similar). Sadly, this aircraft ALSO crashed. When it was decided to restore this aircraft, it was decided that it would be brought back as a short nosed MkI.
EricIrl More than similar. Correct me if i'm wrong, but the Bolingbroke and the Mk lV were the same aircraft, the Bolingbroke being Canadian built (under licence)Mk IV.. I also seem to recall that the original Bolingbroke arrived over here thanks to the late Ormond Haydon-Baillie
So nice to watch and listen to a great collection of Aircraft filming without that annoying Frenchman gabbling on about the same old stuff year after year!!
Can someone enlighten me as to the under side colour scheme on the Spit, what was the reason for that. I have seen that on original archival footage also on Hurricanes, Defiants etc.
That Blenheim is one beautiful plane.
Awesome video, I sadly attended on the Saturday and the weather was horrendous!
Excellent, really enjoyed the RT chatter too..
Radio traffic and no annoying as hell announcer.. love it!
One of your best videos to date mate. Thanks.
Thanks
I just saw this video. Gotta love the war birds. Great video. Thanks.
If I ever get to Europe I'd love to attend one of these shows. There's so many interesting and odd aircraft and from so many different places.
Excellent stereo sound! a must for headphones, well done!
Barry Porteous thanks. I used two separate microphones with a good separation to get a good stereo split

great sound capture
The sound, jesus H christ the sound ! So good.

Great sound, Great machines
The sound of those big inline engines makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
Great viewing
Really cool man flying an old military planes very interesting!!

superb
Spitfire Mk18 ( XVIII ) -- What a beauty
I didn't know the RAF had a Super Hercules squadron. Awesome.
I would love to see more about the Blenheim!
Unfortunately it just took off and departed, I was hoping it would do a display.

Why am I not hearing the supercharger on the Spitfire?
Thank you for an excellent video, and Kudos for not adding an god awful sound track
Is that the sound of a Rolls Royce I hear in that Yak-3M?
Wow!! Vampires?
what is the aircraft at 17:29 ?
I had no idea a Blenheim was still air worthy.
Neither did I. Apart from the one that had crashed around 20 years ago.

I am certain it is the same aircraft.

Identifying each plane would have been a good touch.
Yes, I was thinking that, just a little typed notation in a corner of the shot would be ideal...
Does that Yak have an Allison engine???
Yes. The original Russian engines are no longer available.
MarsFKA
Thank you. I thought it sounded like one.
ccmyart
Yes,absolutely. You can tell by the sound 1st then the shape .

Identification for anti aircraft gunners over Dunkirk.
@@Gaizhun cheers mate, thanks.
They have a Blenhiem I flying? thats awesome!
