Title: Wanted: Spitfire Vids
Post by: Warspawn on November 04, 2007, 04:55:48 AM

Hey all!!

I'm using some AH vids to explain the elliptical wing to my aerodynamics class.  If anyone has some stashed away, I'd love to use them in my presentation!

Thanks!

I've been looking thru some of last year's bob movies, but most of 'em are down now...

Let me know if anyone has stuff available...

Thanks!

Sweet, I'll check with him.  I'd really love to avoid having to explain why a mossie and spit are fighting, but if that's all we have, I'll have to go with it, lol!

Nice vid!  Do we have any Russian speakers who could show me where to go on the page linked there for the native resolution video instead of the low-res youtube stuff?

Thanks!!

Hello again, Warspawn.

Even if it's not AH, another great movie about the Spitfire and his creator, Sir Reginald Mitchell, is this one:

Btw, I can see you're new to the flight sim movie thing, "Come with me" is nice but there are better ones... ;) That russian site has quite a few and another good one is http://www.patricksaviation.com (too bad they now use .flv format, quality is worse; btw, not only flight sim videos here, but RL ones, too)... then a couple of channels at Stage6:

Gamerztheatre Flight Machinima (http://)

LOCKON (http://stage6.divx.com/LOCKON) (if you like modern airplanes, too)

Our website (Listed in my signature) has a few .ahf (Aces High Film Viewer Compatible) films. If you find something you like go ahead and take it. Since we're a spitfire squad you're sure to find plenty in those films.:D
