I did a follow up in an Evo Forums in Australia, as I recall (sold the car now driving a Land Cruiser) it would happen if I stopped and turned the car off really quickly before letting the SST settle and sort itself. I found if I paused for a moment or two once stopped an in park, then turn off, it greatly reduced the instances of this happening. Hope that helps.
I'll pop the same reply here, hope it helps.

A beautiful and striking aircraft and what a donk, I can appreciate your fondness. But is it a fair comparison to match a 27L capacity of the Merlin v the 46L capacity of the 2800? By the war end the little V12 was producing around 1700hp, still no match for the 2000hp of the 2800.
@Andrew Scott My point exactly. The Brits are always in love with the Spitfires and I get it. It (and Hurricanes) stood alone in 1940 against the German wrath. It punched that bully right in the mouth. Battle of Britain is my favorite tactical air engagement to study. But, as historian Victor Davis Hanson pointed out in his fantastic book on WW2 "The World Wars", it was a regional conflict between regional European powers until the US got involved, and THEN it became a world war. Then, it became obvious who the dominant superpower would be moving forward. It's a great plane. I get it. But I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that EVERYTHING made by America was better than anything you wanted to talk about. Tanks, submarines, bombers, fighters, you name it. The only exception I've ever found is my MG-42 squad machine gun made in Germany. I shoot mine whenever I can (yeah, it's legit). But it does have disadvantages that US weapons don't even still. There was a reason Browning had almost all of his MG designed to be about 650 RPM, instead of 1200. Those giggle trigger toys are hard to feed. But I digress.
A whirlwind similar to this formed on top of my house today lol I was outside gardening and I felt a strong gust of wind out of nowhere, I looked up and saw a bunch of trash circling way above my house. It looked like a tornado 🌪️
Not sure what you mean but I'll try and answer given I put little to no details in the description, sorry. It is a Canon 70d in video mode attached to the Celestron via an optional EOS lens adaptor.
The nearest I have got to the Spitfire was flying alongside the spit in a helicopter. I did not mean to put you to any trouble but if you do find any more footage I’m sure it would be well received.
Do they call THAT a dive? Never seen a STUKA diving? Falling like a 500lb bomb? Those pilots escaped to Germany flying lower than the roof of a lorry, doing 500 knots. Just saying. Is that a Mk Minus Ten?!
Clearly a peace time manoeuvre in a 70 year old aircraft with a paying customer on board and an insurance company breathing over the operations with all manner of limitations : ) So you are correct Voor, not a real wartime, life on the line dive...I'm not sure of the type, details are available on their warbird site.
It is little bit scaring with british ,They invented the darkness with lucas electric system You know what i mean if you ever had abritish car or motorcykle from the 60 ties But they are Fun and cool of course
I live near to Sywell in Northants, where they have a 2 seater. My ears are so tuned to the sound now, that when I hear it ( which is often ), everything else vanishes into insignificance. The "lump", the "hairs", even a tear are always to the fore. Sentimental old s**, maybe, but I don't care. They are a beautiful aircraft.
Clearly moved by the old bird, totally get it Shane and I also never get tired of looking at (or listening to) this amazing aircraft. I don't have the luxury of a flying version near me but we do have the genuine article in our local museum in Port Adelaide.
That would be a special experience indeed, and something to remember! A salute to those who keep the old birds flying too if they are reading this one day.
I hear a new version of Microsoft Flight Sim is due soon and they are adding the Warbirds in, realism is next generation. Might be a nice low cost alternative.
@@e9driver1 I bought the Flying Irons MkIX before Christmas, they have done an incredible job on the modelling and sound package. It will do until I can get over to Duxford with £3500 sterling in my sweaty fist and beg them to take me up in one of their coverted beauties.
@@andrewmorgan1819 I'll check it out, sounds great. I miss my old MS Combat Flight Simulator s/w from back in 2000, was dog fighting real people over the net 20+ years ago!!!
Agreed, when I first reviewed the footage I was amazed at how different the Merlin sounded from inside. I recall a comment from ages ago likening it to a bag of hammers : )
those old school flaps make you drop like a brick. You've done a fine job of keeping stable upon landing. I always end up tipping onto a wing whenever i use the spitfire in flight simulators. Any tips for a nice smooth landing? Half throttle during flaps down seems to help prevent the sudden altitude drop that those chunky flaps tend to induce
so simple - magneto switches on - pump the hydrolics - push the hidden starter switch - throttle forward - take off - flaps - back on the throttle landing gear - land
