Tail chasing fighters at RAF Coningsby - marvellous sight and sound!

Nothing to do with trains, but I found this most enjoyable.

Full screen, high volume, and relax.

Those wonderful Merlin engines never fail to give me goose bumps.

Heres one of their Spitfires, EGLM provided some shelter from the rain

So you parked it outside with the canopy open

That would be treason.....

Great video, thanks for posting. 

P.S Makes a pleasant change than seeing missiles taking off!

Great video,
I miss going to Coningsby (to work) then watching the historic flight from the back door of the building I was in, or come to that visiting Scampton and seeing the Red Arrows do their stuff.

Now that's what you call the sound of freedom!

Incredible noise.

Reminds me of the occasion I went out of a evening and returned to my residence, shall we say, "well refreshed".

Obviously I decided to put on "The Battle of Britain".....but the next thing I remember is being awoken extremely suddenly by the thunderous roar of many Merlins.

I had obviously fell asleep and when the DVD finished it reverted back to the menu screen, which is a loop of multiple fly-pasts.

I thought I was under attack and made sharp contact with the sideboard.

One hell of a way to start a Saturday.

"Begin your day the Merlin way!"

There's maybe a marketing opportunity for an App or sound file download for a mobile or tablet.

I'd use it.
