we could just hear them in the distance
we can yeah the rumble that we can hear
is about to turn into a roar those
distinctive rolls-royce Merlin Ange
Merlin enemies you fly them of course I
do you also fly the typhoon that's right
very lucky I get to fly the new and the
old what's it like what are the big
differences between the two
well they share a lot of similar
characteristics and they just see them
coming over the the treeline now so so
if you just look straight ahead there
yes they're both utterly beautiful to
fly and I'll let everybody listen out to
the legend isn't ya the hurricane and
snow fire
[Music]
so they're going to be changing
formation position now John and as they
position just behind us into a national
position so they'll be alongside each
other to run through for a second pass
got the hurricane flown by squadron
leader mark Liscomb and the Spitfire
flown by flight leftenant
Andy breeze underfoot yep
[Music]
you'd only have a packed summer coming
up when he worth saying maybe not as
busy as you were open to being
absolutely
we talked briefly about the difference
between flying the new and the old
what are they like to fly utterly
utterly peaceful I mean they are they
are quite tricky and I think we need a
disco mentioned earlier that certainly
on the ground they do require your full
attention but once they're up they are
partly tonight for a real pilot aircraft
I can see why they have the reputation
they do
[Music]
it's so lovely to see captain Tom waving
is fly overhead you're going to come
around again for a third pass you have a
another aircraft that often flies with
them tell us about that so we have a
lancaster as well which only two flying
in the world so incredibly lucky and
been basting linkage sure to have a
lancaster in the heart of bomber county
is is something really special and i
know the whole of the UK public love
seeing her during the summer yeah a
fixture at air shows aren't they right
across the UK in the summertime and it's
really when you come into your own
what is detective given flight an
incredible amount and really we have a
small team of thirty engineers who work
tirelessly through the winter and the
summer to keep these beautiful aircraft
flying so who can show them in front of
millions of people throughout the
country over the year the summer months
and what it seems a bit like triggers
broom are they a little bit like trigger
might have heard the analogy before john
yes okay
[Music]
we are about to hear we hope alive
special message the captain Tom from one
of the pilots
[Music]
there we go
wonderful thank you very much yeah
really really wonderful to see him and
as much as the the sight of them is
fantastic the sound of them is fantastic
tape and I think the both of them go
beautifully hand-in-hand the sight and
the sound there's nothing else quite
like it and Tom from all of us in the
Air Force thank you very much indeed for
everything you've done a very happy
hundredth birthday thank you very much
yes that's what around there that just
get a quick word there's one thing that
I would say but I'm one of the few
people here who have seen hurricanes and
Spitfires flying fasting anger is
fortunately today they're all flying
peacefully that's Dustin one of the
outstanding but I remember when they
were flying not with peace but with
anger
