Camel and Spitfire

17 June 2006 in Aircraft, Videos by Brett Holman | No comments

This seems to be a snippet from a documentary made in New Zealand.1 The main point of it is to show a Camel and a Spitfire flying side by side, but I found the first half more interesting, about the practical aspects of flying a First World War-vintage aeroplane. For example, I hadn’t realised that the scarves worn by the pilots were not fashion accessories!

  1. No doubt the film crew were off eating fush and chups shortly afterwards.
