I've never seen this footage posted anywhere but damn it's some of the best I've seen from ww2.

Saw it a while back. Good nonetheless.

Wow, what a video, the way that Spitfire comes swinging in is incredible!!!
Thanks for posting!

No original capture. Radio chatter is fake.
-
Fake. Was for a BBC production if I recall.
There are quite a number of things that stand out, such as the radio chatter and the Spitfire's radiators as being wrong for the claimed time and place.

Yeah I hope he didn't think it was real.

Fake. CGI.

Looked like the BOB episode from "dogfights' on the Discovery/history channel

History channel CGI does not look like that.. nor does any other I've ever seen and I used to do 3D work. I call BS on this being CGI.. Also History channel shows various views of their reproductions not gun cam only footage.
If that is CGI then it made some news somewhere so if you guys call CGI.. well prove it. That quality of CGI environment would have made some news somewhere.
It says digitally remastered to color. Not CGI. As to the radio I have no clue on that part could very well be fake and added to the video as well as the sound.

looks like 'Battle of Britain' out takes.

Almost looks like a scene from the movie "Battle of Britain"

lol I'd disagree with that.. This is a battle scene from the movie BoB. Not quite the same quality. :D

What Karnak said. 2x radiators on the spit means that video was not shot in 1941.
-
I dont buy it

Possible.. it could be a reproduction.. I'm going by what the site said. The video is from a site that deals in ww2 films, so I'll take their word on it.. untill someone can "prove" otherwise. Just because it says 41 doesn't mean it happened in 41 could have happened at a later date.
I just don't buy that it's CGI.. I used to be pretty big in CGI and no way would that kind of quality be done and no one hear about it.
The only way I could even possibly buy that it's CGI is if they used film from a real aircraft (the one acting as the chase plane) then added in the other aircraft he was following.
Otherwise the background terrain is just too good to be faked. The other issie is the smoke is just far too realistic compaired to any CGI smoke I've seen.
speaking of CGI.. check out this 262 I found on blender's forums..

So who was doing the filming? Just another 109 with no guns and just a camera along for the ride?
-
something else I notice after watching it again.. at the start 2 spits split the 109's one goes to the right one to the left. I knew the 2nd spit came in at the end but I never noticed it flew past them to the right side at the start. I was thinking he came in from above or afterwards. Never realized it was there from the start.
-
Photoshop.
-
Although this is pretty damn cool.

well the only other "film" I could find as someone mention it maybe from a program from BBC..
Well this clip is from the TV series "A Piece of Cake" which is still not the same kind of footage.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=vT1L3l5dvhA
So if it's not real footage than someone can show me where it came from, because it don't match anything I can find of known shows or movies.

Looks like CGI. Who is the guy that made alot of battle scenes in CGI. I think hes japanese. Kinda looks like his work.
-
You mean Tochy, TK? I don't think it's something he did, he usually put them in his site and there's nothing like that (site's at http://www.k4.dion.ne.jp/~suppon/)
And, Crockett, it's clearly a fake. Do you really think a Spit pilot would drop in the middle of 2 109, giving a perfect target to the wingman? And, if the second spit was there from the beginning, why didn't he helped his friend? I can't believe there were so clueless pilots in the war....
-
I think it is actual footage of some planes out of the Imperial War Museum Duxford.
The footage was shot for use in a motion simulator.
Visitors to Duxford's Imperial War Museum will get a taste of what it was like to take part in a dogfight over the skies of 1940's England this Easter. Filmed in real time by Duxford-based Spitfires and a Messerschmitt Bf109, the motion simulator moves from the perspective of the Bf109 as it makes a lightning raid on our shores during the Battle of Britain.

Yea thats him. Those are some great movies.
-
Too fluid for a WWII guncam. Did they even have aperture systems of that quality back then? All airborne footage I've seen from WWII was fixed exposure.
-
Check out the "Dogfight" film from this company:
http://helifilms.homestead.com/ridefilms.html
You can't view the film on the site but I bet that's the video we are looking at.
-
The Spitfires had two radiatiors (means two stage Merlin or Griffon engine, Mk IX or later) and no cannons (means unarmed PR aircraft or CGI with a madeup Spitfire version having two radiators and eight .303s).
-
well i check a few of the other links out and enjoyed this one:

It is CGI, although it's blurred in that footage. I saw it first about a year ago
and IIRC it was done for a museum simulation in England.
Here is a link with the original soundtrack:

That film was originated on "Showscan"...the same "property of" watermarked on the video.
Here's a link to ShowScan's website where you can download the video.

no one noticed the two 109's ganging the spit in the beginning?
:noid

Real or not it was fun to watch.
I think I actually saw that exact same fight (on youtube?) but from one of the Spitfires perspectives (without radio chatter). In the end of that film, the remaining 109 bugs out on the deck.

Well now we know why you *used* to do CGI work :)
It's CGI, not hard to spot at all, there are quite a obvious few clues - here's a freebie to start with - control surfaces.
Looks like a helicopter ran a flight path then CGI is laid over it.

CGI from Battle of britain 2000 anniversary
-
Boy am I disappointed in the LW 109 guys around here. At roughly 8 seconds in to the film, if you Look close, you can see it's a Spanish built "109", a Merlin engined HA 1112 Buchon. The exhaust stacks are up high, not the inverted DB of a wartime 109.
For shame ya bastages! :)
And if you look close at the Spits you can see they're in the wrong camo for a Merlin 61 Spit, and you can also see the walkways on both sides of the fuselage that are common to restored Spits.
Probably these two birds of the Old Flying Machine Company painted up for the occasion. They did a lot of film work. Mark Hanna was killed in an accident in the Buchon. MH434 is the Spit, and the defaul skin in AH is from that bird.

Not to mention that at the very end, the Spitfire flies DIRECTLY in front of the trailing 109 for several seconds and he didn't shoot. Visually the video is pretty well done, the story seems a little lame though...

If you look at the Showscan website that I posted a link for you will see this video along with others from the company. This one is listed as "Live action" while others are listed as "CGI" or "CGI/Live action". It's real footage, just not 1940's "real".

Either way, it's still not guncam footage.
-
This is cgi. guncam footage was exposed at 16 fps,hence the usual poor quality.
-
Fake, easily noticed. Not to mention the german is talking in english, "Gunther, my engine is out!" LMAO!

It was shot on 70mm film from a chase helicopter at 60 fps.

If it was real, why would they not shoot down the camera plane first!:aok

Yea I knew that terrain was not CGI.. that's was the basis for my argument against it being CGI. It's why I said the only way it could possible be CGI is if they used a real plane to film the footage then added in the other planes. Even then the smoke is way to good for any CGI smoke I've ever seen.
So are you saying they used real planes with a chase helicopter?

cool then that's believable.. I just knew it wasn't CGI..

Granted it isn't cgi,and the 109 is a Buchon,my point was it's not wwII footage.Apologies.:)
-
It was part of a BBC show comparing the developement of British and german war equipment. I saw in on discovery,they compared the effectiveness of the spits 8 303' to the BF's 7.7 and 20 mm. They stated that the fight would have been a draw as both sides lost an A/C and that do to low fuel the last 109 had to RTB.
They also did a comparison between german and british arty as well as SE5 and fokker triplane,some interesting conclusions were made!!!

T'was the first thing I noticed when I first saw this quite some time ago. I hope you are happy now Gup. :D

Did anyone see tracer fire? Even if the planes didn't have traces you would still see a load coming from the spit near the end with 8 303s.
Not to mention, do you think if you had two 109s on your six you'd be sitting there calmly swinging with your wingman...... I'd be pretty hard on the stick.
I guess the spit engine in the 109 was a bit of a tip off.
