Default Identify this video, please...

Some things that haven't been mentioned...
If it were real, which the CGI pros in the group say it's not,
where in the world would there be 4 Mosquito's?
and 4 Spitfires?
painted similarly? (but wrongly according to SPM)
in recent history?
doing low passes with nobody watching?
You'd imagine that with all that famous rag and aluminum flying around, that
at least one car or person would show up. I know I would! Man what a site!

Also.. no typical prop wash "track" down the center of that impeccable
turf. And either the wind blows the dust in the wrong direction or the
pilot landing Mosquito lands on the downwind wheel first.

Somebody already mentioned the prop sync... even the Spitfires props are
synched.

Anybody know about the gear system? Would both mains lower at the identical
rate?

Awesome video non the less!

Thanks

Jim

Can anyone give me some information on this remarkable video? It's
wonderfully clear footage of Merlin-powered Spitfires and Mosquitos,
but it looks too new to be original World War II footage.

It almost looks like Hollywood-quality stuff, but the guy who sent it
in didn't know its origin.

Thanks!
