@juanjo, yes very sad, mainly because noones allowed to touch it, to fix it up, probably has huge hertiage listing timebomb attached.

@Tavington, excellent pictures, never seen that dual prop battle before.

The Fulmar is awesome ! Thx Tavingon. I only hope that no one in the il2 mod community will attempt to make out of it one of those stupid Godzilla FM.

37 min of REAL COLOR FOOTAGE OF THE MEMPHIS BELLE OVER GERMANY
 

Hi,

for those still in interest with Aircraft Vid and able to pull out their eyes out of the visor of their favorite mount, here is the original COLOR video of the Memphis Belle story.

This footage was filmed during the doomed days of 1943 where the Mighty eight soared to its legendary status as we know it today. The film gets you aboard the Memphis Belle during a mission over Germany without fighter escort.

Enjoy the shear beauty of the Belle and the gruesome terror of the Luftwaffe's Bête (beast).

17and 24 against strays of attacking 190 and 109. All this in COLOR for REAL and during 37 min!

Enjoy!

Thank you!

nice vid.
anyway the pampa jet is not so fast. max 750kmh. (at altitud ) so, in the vid maybe 600kmh (and is a very light aircraft). I see tomcats and mirage f1 passing at match1 at the same distances of people-
