For fans of low flying aircraft

😯

that’s not low. That’s an aborted landing! 😯

Bloody hell!

So if you go to all that trouble why film it on a mobile and with only one camera! Holy beef stakes Barman.

I’m not sure that’s genuine…

Anyway, strictly speaking it’s a C47, not a DC3. 😉

I assume you’ve seen this?

Nice, or even this one

Looks like a model to me.

it’s a bit big, no?

Plenty of large-scale flying models out there. Eg:

EDIT: Just noticed, it seems to be the same markings as the one in the original video.

Got to be a model – not enough exhaust oil smoke for a start. And the grass & trees stay very still 🙂

Will now be spending the next hour watching similar youtube vids. 😀

Too small to be real. impressive tho.

Aye – it’s a model; no cockpit glass.

Good detective work – even if it’s a model, it’d still hurt to be hit by that 😉

Wasn’t there a famous news real clip once of an outside broadcast reporter getting brained by the wing of a (very) low flying plane we was mean’t to be doing a piece on?

There’s a scene in the Battle of Britain where an ME 109 comes in so low over the field that it almost picks up the fence which was apparently genuinely flown. Stunning.

Ouch, thats^^^ gota hurt!

Crikey, that looks like a monty python sketch. Poor guy.

In the book Sigh for a Merlin, Alex Henshaw writes about when he flew a Spitfire sideways along a city centre street in Birmingham!

This man, who died today, chased a German plane under the Eiffel Tower:

Test pilot fed up with government cuts flys his Hawker hunter through closed tower bridge!

This is definitely genuine. Apparently it’s taken at Seattle and the pilot was picking up the brand new aircraft from Boeing. He took off, did a circuit back around the airfield and flew at low level over the airfield. I think he was subsequently sacked….

^^^^^ Or he could just be doing a touch n go and has just stowed the gear?

(or someones photoshopped out the gear by the looks of it!)

There was a spate of these at the Ballachulish Bridge in the past.
