That's a clip from the DVD entitled "ME 109 One summer - Two Messerschmitts", produced by Flying Machines. I have that DVD and it has some of the most spectacular flying footage ever shot. You have to see it to believe it. The DVD comes in both NTSC and PAL formats. Actually all of the Flying Machine DVD series are most excellent. The one on the Story of the Blenheim is the absolute best flying DVD I've ever bought. It has Chief Pilot, John Romain, talk through IN DETAIL, the entire flight sequence of flying the Blenheim from walk-around to engine shutdown. His narration overlays cockpit footage and the absolute most spectacular aerial footage ever shot of the Blenheim over the English countryside. Steve Connor, the producer of those DVD's, posts here. If interested in buying it, PM him. It is well worth the cost!

Great video, but I can't help but think about poor old Black Six.
What an ignominious end to a great aircraft

Ahh, but Tom, I believe one of them IS actually a Spanish knock-off, re-engined with the proper set-up.!

She crashed and was deemed too valuable to rebuild to an airworthy condition again. She is now sadly relegated to static display.

Wasn't the story more that she crashed (engine quit) on her final display flight before a pre-planned gounding and permanent static display? She was rebuilt to top standards, but will remain grounded I believe. I hope that Duxford eventually gets another airworthy one, along with an Fw190.
