This video is better, believe me 😉https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8POTLnXuS_I

The morale boost hearing that engine roar above you in combat must’ve been incredible for the troops.

Thanks for not putting music over those beautiful Rolls Royce symphony

One of the most beautiful machines ever created

Can you imagine being 19 years old and flying this beauty?

My father was a mechanic in the RAF during WW2. He always said that you hadn't heard anything until you hear a perfectly tuned RR Merlin engined Spitfire overhead. One of the most beautiful aircraft ever made.

My aunt Betty who died five years as go aged 94 flew Spitfire's to the young airmen around the UK she was one of a few women pilots to do this

Coming from an all American P-51 kind of guy, I have to say that the Spit is one of the most iconic and beautiful aircraft ever produced. And that Griffon is on another level of heavenly sound...

Strange how a conglomeration of metal parts can be SO beautiful.

my dad was a schoolkid during the war and he said he could tell the difference between german bombers and british by the sound of their engines. he'd make the noises for us as kids and we loved it. love you dad, miss you too.

That sound is hauntingly beautiful, imagine being pinned down at 17/18 years old, and this angel comes flying over, gives me goosebumps honestly.

As a Royal Air Force Apprentice at the No. 1 School of Technical Training, Halton, 79th Entry, we had a "retired" Spitfire 22 with the bubble canopy, as well as other WW2 aircraft, Merlins and Hercules.  My second engine strip and rebuild while training (3-year course) was a Merlin, twin supercharged used for the higher altitudes.      The years I was there were 1955 to 1958.   Hard but very happy days.  The Merlin still is a thrill to hear.  Thanks for this video. I joined the RAF to become a fighter pilot but did not know until the entrance medical that I was Red/Green colour-blind so no Aircrew for me.  I went the Engine-Technician route.  Took up riding aand racing motorcycles instead to satisfy my urges.  Now in my 82nd year with no regrets.

I remember this sound from 74years back

The Griff is a nice sounding engine..super powerful.

But the merlin well need I say anything else

That whistle... oh my god. The first time I ever saw a P-51 flying it was the same sound, and it's an amazing sound.

I was born well after WW2 but this particular aircraft always lifts my spirit whenever I think about it.

If that didn’t give you goosebumps you’re not British. The most aesthetically beautiful aircraft ever built, the sight of one in a climbing turn is just magnificent, those upswept wings unmistakable. What a privilege to be able to fly one in peaceful skies. Great video, thank you.

my kind of ASMR

The awsome sound of the great spitfire always gives me goosebumps. An amazing warbird.

Totally awesome, need i say more. Well done to the people who keep them airworthy.
