Earlier today I put up a post trying to find an MPEG of a low flying spitfire. Here it is...

It is awesome. I think ray Hanna was flying it. Turn it up, sit back and enjoy. (By the way theres a bit of swearing at the end!! )

GREAT STUFF (yes, I know I'm shouting!) - the most beautiful thing ever made out of metal and in it's natural environment. I want that reporters job - a Merlin that close ain't frightening, it's a noise that just gets the hairs on your neck on end. I'd even face the plane!
With Ray Hanna flying it there'd be no worries about him getting it right, he's the best warbird pilot in the world.

That was awesome!!!

All of the rest of the videos were priceless too!! Especially thought of the guy who crashed his very own, newly bought, whirly bird. Helicopters easy to fly??? Never.... he almost bought the farm in the escapade too!!!!

I had the same problem. I just cut and pasted like mentioned, but erased everything to the core address. Under Cool Things you'll find the videos...

Hope that helps!!

Have you tried updating your player?? I had to do that to see some of the videos...

Still haven't seen the Tanker Fire one. If nothing else right click and save to your harddisk. I had to do that several times too...
