Great capture ....amazing display by the pilot ..a reminder for us all in the 21st centuary as to why this plane was so reveared at the time in the 1940's ...your experience of filming planes came in to it's own today Steve ..a gold standard capture for everyone to enjoy ...thanks for sharing this historic magic with us ... Tom
Thanks so much for your extremely kind comment Tom. It was quite challenging to film some of the manoeuvres when the Spit was close at Speed. Best wishes. Steve. 😊
When Money really isn't a problem..You can do these things She already has Her next Flight booked...I think this is no 4...!! Thanks so much for the comment....Steve.
Thanks so much both....She did well....Must have cost a fortune....But You can't put a price on something like this....Once in a Lifetime......My footplate ride on 'Braunton' last week was brill though ha ha...! Just love Merlins.....Lucky to have been able to capture this....Nobody else did.......Best wishes....Steve.
Very good Steve, terrific sound. Can you imagine how a full squadron of Spitfires must have sounded going into battle. Quite a history this machine has had
Thank You Austin....Good old Panasonic VM-10 Mic at it's best...lol..... Yes ..my imagination working overtime on the thought of a Squadron going into battle....Oh the sound !! Yes, She certainly has had some Life....Best wishes to You and Pam.....Steve.
Thanks for Your amazing comment Mike....So glad You enjoyed this video...It seems to have evoked some wonderful memories for You from when You were Young....Happy belated 85th Birthday.....Best wishes and thanks again...Steve.
My pleasure my friend. I have Subscribe to your channel, I do trains and planes too, I got 128 Subscribes and I hope I will get to 150 or 200 Subscribes one day. Have a good weekend. Cheers Ta ... Josh
I'm no expert on the subject of aircraft, but I really enjoyed that thanks for uploading some very dramatic skyscapes too and a great shot of the South Wales coastline at the beginning and a wonderful photo of Minehead with the sun out to finish with!
An incredible story Steve, and how lucky is Robin White to have a ride in her...Superb coverage, and what a sight and sound from that wonderful Spitfire....Well done our Steve...Best wishes.....Bob
Thanks our Bob....This is the 3rd Flight She has had in a Spitfire in recent times...An experience we would all love to have.....It was good fun filming again at Minehead Beach...something i never thought i'd do again, as the Minehead Air Diplay's in the Summer are now a thing of the past......Back to work Monday for a week...Then off for another to get over the shock....and the WSR Gala of course....We have another Standard 4MT 80104 from Swanage coming as well.....But i'll do my best to capture what i can.....Best wishes...Steve Your Somerset Cousin !!!! lol.
I was going to go on the platform at the Station Mike...But realised a display can only happen on the Beach's Flight line...Lucky to have caught it ..glad it came out OK in the end.
