Interesting stuff, but not Battle of Britain beyond the scenes of them loading the 303 ammo.  Lots of 8th AF gun camera film.  Even showed that one squadron of SAAF 4 cannon Spitfire Vc :)

Great footage. I always love "Requiem for a Dream." Double positive!

EDIT: 5:14, it looks like the spitfire either hit or sharply evaded the powerlines. Any idea which?

I'm betting on "evaded" since the camera footage wasn't destroyed in a fireball.

When you swing a sharp knife moderately fast, can you cut thin fishing line?
Do you see where I'm going with this?

Awesome!

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Simply breathtaking. The shot of the formation almost made me cry to see that many Spits flying at once   :salute.

Yes, but I think there is a big difference between a sharp steel knife vs fishing line and an aluminum wing vs a copper cable.
