Back in the Southern Hemisphere in time for Wanaka at Easter. Think that I posted this a few years ago but since you were talking about Spitfires here is one with something a bit older!
That is absolutely wonderful. Double thumbs up! What a scary death trap that Camel is! The last 30 seconds of the Spitfire is just sublime. Without a doubt the best sounding, best looking machine man has ever made.
Some young guys may have never seen this !https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiTztj32NzZAhWMU7wKHayxDsoQ3ywIKjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcECmbme_UKs&usg=AOvVaw0qu4KAOUTeoNOwMZiqLpzg

Hey Guys with the permission of my good friend Scott Sinclair he’s generously allowed me to post some Photographs of his Father And Officer, Morris Mowat Sinclair who flew Mustangs and Spitfires during WW2 before being shot down in 1942 and ending up in the Infamous Stalag Luft 3 pow camp where he survived and after the war went on to become a renowned Doctor and Surgeon in Sydney .Many thanks Scotty Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
I have no idea please help me out ,I do know the first picture was taken at flight training school in Canada Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
It’s a very early Mustang, if I’m not mistaken. Probably a Mustang I or II. Quite different to the P-51Ds which are what everyone pictures when they think of Mustangs.
He’s dwarfed by it they look huge It would have to be incredibly intimidating getting in one for the first time Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Morris was at the pow camp during the great escape, out of 76 escapees 3 got away 50 were shot. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Actually whenever I get up close to a Spitfire I’m surprised at how small they seem. Mustang slightly less so, but the wingspan seems tiny. What never fails to amaze me, though, is the sheer size of the prop. Just awesome.
Yeah, I really wasn’t sure at first what it was. The retractable tail wheel and the start of the belly bulge finally gave it away.
Compared to the odd Cessna or tomahawk I’ve had a go at they look pretty big Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Fair enough. I reckon that's got a lot to do with the fact that being tail-wheel, they kind of tower above you at the nose, but also because of that awesome prop! If you look at the actual dimensions of a Spitfire, they are virtually identical to a Cessna 210. One has 300hp, the other has up to 2050 hp!! It's all what you get used to, I guess. Whenever I go to Parafield and poke around the Cessnas, I feel like I could go up to the prop and flick it over with my hand like an RC model, because I'm used to the size of the PC12 prop. I suspect Gary could walk up to just about anything and consider it like an RC aircraft...
Haha very true I recon the same goes for cars it takes your head a while to get used to the sudden increase in power of a Ferrari plus the sensitivity of the handling so a little similar perhaps Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
