(high quality) YouTube vid from Hangar10: Spitfire XVIII and Fw190 A-8 fly bys


Recommended Posts

hi guys

 

just stumbled across this - quite cool

 

the picture and sound are very high quality and no bs music or idiot commentators in the background!

not sure what engine is in the Fw190 / whether it is original?

 

maybe if you have similar cool links post them on this thread?

 

always gives me goose bumps!

What an awesome video, loved to hear the sound of the engine growling away!! 

I do believe that this FW-190 A8 is a FlugWerk reproduction that uses the Russian radial engine AsH 82T.

Correct me if I’m wrong!

Cheers

Alan

 

Post script:

this is the rebuilt FlugWerk Fw-190 that was bellied landed on a beach in France in 2010, after the engine quit and it sank as the tide came in. A german investor has paid for the restoration and it is now part of the Hangar 10 collection in Germany. Very nice to see her back flying!

and blammo

if I'd have read the comments:

 

If you wonder what engine the Fw190 has. Its an Ash 82-T 14cyl. double row radial with the power and size comparable to the original BMW 801 engine.It was build in Karl Marx Stadt/Chemnitz. So even though it`s a russian design, the engine is still a german engine, at least kind of. ;)

And that certainly explains the lack of a proper swastika on the tail of the '190.

same channel, P-47 start up (LOTS of smoke!) and display

what a beast the P-47 is

 

I know it's big and all that every time I open my Trumpeter boxes, but it's only when you see thing start up with the pilot inside looking like a flea you realise what a monster this aircraft is

 

the Spitfire will always be my love, but if I was 'gaming' WWII and was limited to just one single engined aircraft type, this would be it
