Ahhh good old times she might've think!

Those are her heroes. She was young when Battle of Britain occurred. So she remembered clearly when those mighty machine flown pass. all the memory of the heroics aces that flown them and protect her and Britain from Nazi

She looks evil....

Absolutely astonishing!

Here in Germany the Bundeswehr couldn't have flown it. We don't have enough airworthy Typhoons. Most of them have been grounded.

*aircraft ….. show some respect

ikr kinda crazy

So did my nan who's 92. Not just the queen!

God bless our adorable QUEEN & EMPIRE & beloved COLONIES. ❣

Must’ve been incredible to see the evolution of aircraft

When i was 21 i met with Michael Caine in a Airport 1st class lounge waiting for a flight I came up to him and asked if i may shake your hand i am a big fan of one of your movies..As he reached for my hand with a smile he said Wut only one? I told him A few years back i seen the movie Battle of Britain and as a boy i loved WW2 action films He had said : Well my boy You have shaken my hand I shook hands with a Man called Stanford Tuck He was the wing leader at Biggin's hill and was the real person that fought over the sky's He Shook hands with the Queen when she offered her hand I had also met Major Gen, Adolfo Galland He also flew over the same sky's against Tuck And shook hands with Goring and Hitler But we will not hold that against him shall we? If you liked that movie have you seen a movie called a bridge too far? I think so i said ..Well i play a "Small" part in it ...I said I'm really sorry to bother you I know people must want pictures and ask questions He asked me what part of America are you from? I said I'm Canadian ...Right that explains why your so nice Well my lad have a safe flight ....class act

So true.

more then that, the lancaster, spitfires and others would have flown to protect london during her lifetime, she would remember that as few others do

@John Brighton nope. Also some of the aircraft aren't made by the UK, but were designed and produced by the US. It's still one hell of a sight. I love the Typhoon.

😭

brother can you explain this quote to me my english is poor

@@Gramsciii It’s a quote by the Prime Minister of the UK in WWII, expressing his gratitude for the sacrifices made by the pilots of the Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain. He was explaining how an entire country, with all its people, owed everything to only a few pilots who gave their all in the air over the English Channel.

I’m considering the raf as a career choice but am extremely worried that my a level choices will not allow me to Pursue becoming an raf pilot. I want to do law, history and economics however I heard taking physics and maths will be very appealing to raf recruiters as it’s linked to flying and such. could you give any advice on what I should do?

Its definitely good to be proud of your country - unfortunately, sometimes patriotism is twisted to follow individual believes and ideals that really don't represent the country.

@@Gaizhun theres a fine line between patriotism and nationalism

It’s perfectly fine to be patriotic. When I hear things about American exceptionalism and ultra nationalism that is a short step away from fascism.

@@michaelsims1160 People have been saying that since the end of WW2. The US had ample opportunity to hold the world hostage when they were for a brief 2 year period the only nuclear power on the planet.

Exactly what I thought. In my opinion, one of the RAFs most spectacular aircraft. I was there for its last flight but I wish I could see it up there for one last time.

Not sure if a Valiant is left but I know that Vulcans and Victors are. They should of had an Attacking V of the V-Bombers, it was a missed opportunity.

Big up Eastleigh, where the spitfire was first flown from

Still free? You mean still British. The idea that every war is fought in the defense of a nations "freedom" is a lie. If Germany won the war things would be different for better or worse who's to say.. but the fact of the matter is that most people would still be "free" even if their country lost a war. The establishment wants to hold on to their power so they demonize their enemies as much as they possibly clan to get the people on their side so they can retain their power. Nations rise and fall and some nations are worse than others but to believe that you are only free because you won a war is ludicrous.

For all we know if Germany had won the war they may have grown out of their racial obsession after a few generations just like the United States did.

@@CuttySobz its also likely that we would've been free but with a government that was more friendly towards germany (at least for ww1)

Thank the pilots from other countries. British planes were good but british pilots were meh...

bruh if nazis were attack britain with full strength.bruhhh

um a ton of the pilots were polish and they were very good and proved battle ready

Poles shot down the most German planes during the Battle of Britain. And were the ones who taught the Brits how to fly head-on into a German bomber formation and then pull up and dive back down for another attack run, instead of attacking from the rear which was standard RAF doctrine and got a lot of pilots shot down. Funnily enough you'll find Brexiters today who hate Polish people and all they've contributed lol

@@user-ci7vu7eo9w that was their full strength...

Tells everything about a plane

They were there the whole time circling...You only saw them when they turned off the "Stealth"..DUH!!

@@WillSmith-qk1be may the genuine lightning rest in peace.

@@blick9538 grounded operationally, but plenty still flying

Shadowboost that wasn't a Wellington

It was a Lancaster

In close quarters combat generally the older aircraft like an english electric lightning or a harrier will run circles around more modern aircraft. The f-35 just has more modern radar and the like whilst maintaining relatively high performance despite being vtol. The cost-benefit is definately terrible though

The Harrier was STOVL, the F35 is actually VTOL. The U.K. will use them in a STOVL capacity though. If you are still on the F35 hate train I would recommend looking up how it has done in recent years, most of the kinks have been sorted out and it is shaping to be an amazing aircraft.

i have no doubt it's an amazing plane it's more the budget concerns and broken american lobbying systems

Fair enough.

How would you know. Have any of you flown an F35? Thought not..

SNIPER SHOTGUN I think u would rather have Russia and China to be USA’s alley. They are much more stronger in both military power and economic power nowadays.

@hunkgod Firstly, what do u mean different values? I thought all people in all countries share the same value, which is make money. Secondly, I don't think USA has the right to claim China and Russia have human right violations when USA almost at every war after WW2.

hunkgod Man, do u know the whole reason why there is no one went to help the little girl? That is a very extreme example. Just like, I could say that USA’s cops are all racism. They are treating white better than black. They would kill black for no reasons. Would u agree on what I am saying? One extreme example does not represent the whole country. It is definitely true that USA has much more people use guns for crime and violence reasons, so does it mean US citizens likes war and violence more than any other countries. On the other hand, the countries that USA send troops to are definitely judge by US claiming they did not treat their people well. However, I am not sure that is what other nations would agree on. Meanwhile, I am not quite sure the citizens in Middle East countries want US’s help anymore. US send troops into the war in Syria in 2012 still haven’t end today! This is the sixth years already, even the WW2 is ended in six years.

France is Stronger in terms of military power

Then millions of people would not have died in war and through other atrocities perpetrated by Hitler and his gang. I rest my case Mirco
