10 Merlins

Post by Tako_Kichi »

Just found some nice footage of the Lanc pair along with a couple of Spits taken at the Eastbourne show.

Wonderful!!!!

Rolls Royce's 12 - cylinder symphony (x10) - make sure you have your volume control cranked up to 11.

Nothing comes close to sound of those Merlins but to hear Double is really great, speakers turned right up :thumbsup:

The pair will be flying near where i live over the next month or so, i will be able to hear them live! some great formation flying from the crew in that clip.

Thanks for posting,

Roger.

I just played it through while trying to pause it at the right moment and it looks like a lens flare to me. The sun is above the view of the lens but shining into it as it pans around so it's quite possible to get a flash of reflected light within the lens barrel.

What IS it about them? It's like a necessary part of life -seeing the sea, blue sky etc. *-)
