BTW, the plane making the attack on the Heinkel is a Hurricane. I thought this might be helpful LOL

Oleg, do the Battle of Britain this way:

This is what we need - to die like heroes!
Not to play games!

Oleg, please, note how the antena cable of the Ki-43 fluctuates /at 6:48 sec. very clearly visible/ on the wind over the head of the Japanese fighter pilot. Also note that there is no huge flames, when the aircraft is hit, when small caliber machine guns are used...

~Cheers!

I posted an excellent late war guncam clip in colour and HG/Jumo supplied a better version. It really is worth a look if you missed it

The clouds look very nice here:

BG-09 , I hope you're aware of the fact that video you posted is from a movie with mix of some
real flyby footage , some staged flying footage and almost all very closer cockpit footage is actually
not in air but staged on the ground edited with skies background , if you take a closer look you should
be able to see how pretty bad footage it is in some instances , there was no CGI back in time
A lot of footage was also staged just for the movie , almost useless video for any references

Of course it is so!

BG-09 I don't think it is an antenna cable, if it were so to what would it be connected? Also at 6:49 there is a similar fluttering strand that appears to be connected to the front edge of the windshied going on an up angle. I suspect that both strands are hair or something similar caught in shutter mechanism of the camera.

Edit Both strands can seen in this screen shot, (arrows only added).
