Breath taking footage of the Magnificent Spitfire. And the perfect marriage of Vera Lynn's voice singing her signature tune. Heartwarming and a true feeling of pride. 👌

RIP Dame Vera Lynn you were the darling of troops and when i served used to play all you war time songs to uplift em

That sound of the Rolls Royce Merlin V12 engine never gets old.

You Brits still have the decency to honor War Veterans and there Machines .. What a goodbye! .. Goosebumps

Wowww, what a clip 👍 Dame Vera Lynn + Spitfire waltzing in the sky😊 Unforgettable icons of British courage and determination. It is kind of why Hurricane doesn't have similar reputation in spite of the fact there were more Hurricanes and they shot down more German planes than Spitfires😞.

I have always liked Spitfires as their shape is nice with those elliptical wings and their fuselages and tail assemblies. Not only were they beautiful but very efficient fighters designed for England's defense. And they did their job remarkably well too. For me they are prettier than the angular Me109. And the video is very nice as it shows the amazing agility of this aircraft.

R J Mitchell I want to build a airplane like a bird in one piece a mono plain Avro it looks like a bird Mitchell well birds do very well at flying Sir To Royce build me an engie it must drive my plane at 400 mph and climb tom 10000 feet in a short time it will carry 8 machine guns dive fire and the wings will not fall off it will spit fire at the enemy

I got the chance to fly in one over The White Cliffs of Dover and got to fly it aswell

A truly beautiful plane, flown by heroes who saved Britain from barbaric invasion. They are sadly not here to do that now.

Song Rolls-Royce merlin V12

Most beautiful fighter ever built

Inspired England during ww2

Some gave some. Some gave all.

Lest we forget

We'll meet again some sunny day!

Yet it was the Hurricane which won the Battle of Britain

James Gollan we know between the two spitfires only got 45 percent of the kills whereas the hurricane got 55 percent both beautiful aircraft and they should both be praised and don’t get me wrong I love the hurricane but in the grand scheme of things think about how many more hurricanes there were I think that helps to show how efficient the spitfire was.

This old discussion again. No fighter or bomber type or squadron could have won the war alone. All platforms of fighting effort contributed in their own way and none of them could we have been without.

@@mortenBP Yeah...it gets really stupid after awhile. Same old thing said over and over again. They just parrot what they've heard. There were 18 Spit squadrons during the Battle, and 29 Hurricane squadrons. Of course the Hurricanes got more kills. They say it as though the number of kills mean that the Hurri was a better airplane, or at least as good as the Spitfire. C'mon now. It wasn't.
