Turn up the volume and experience two of the most iconic WWII fighters in action, as a Spitfire Mk.XIV and Spitfire Tr.9 fly tight and low in stunning formation. With no narration or commentary, this video lets you immerse yourself in the pure sound and power of two legendary Rolls-Royce aero engines—the deep growl of the Griffon and the timeless roar of the Merlin.
The first aircraft, Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIV (NH799), is powered by the formidable Griffon engine and painted in South East Asia Command colours. Once owned by Sir Tim Wallis, founder of The Alpine Fighter Collection, this aircraft’s survival and restoration after a serious accident in 1996 is a testament to the dedication of its restoration team. Seeing it in the sky again is to witness a piece of aviation history reborn.
Flying alongside is the elegant Spitfire Tr.9 (MH367), painted to represent EN520 of No. 81 Squadron RAF. This aircraft’s scheme honours New Zealand’s top-scoring ace, Colin Gray, who flew Spitfires with distinction during the North African campaign. With its graceful lines and distinctive desert camouflage, this Tr.9 embodies the Spitfire’s enduring elegance.
Captured at low-level with perfect formation flying, this footage highlights every detail—the whistle of wingtips, the resonance of propeller wash, and the energy of these two Spitfires sweeping past the camera. The absence of narration ensures that the video can be enjoyed universally, allowing aviation enthusiasts from every country to fully experience the sounds and sights without the barrier of language.
As the display concludes, both aircraft return to land, passing directly over the camera at only a few metres above ground level—an unforgettable finale and a truly rare perspective of these magnificent warbirds on final approach.
If you love warbird displays, WWII aviation history, or simply want to feel the power of classic combat aircraft, don’t miss this unique Spitfire video. Subscribe to the Historical Aviation Film Unit for more authentic, narration-free footage of vintage aircraft in action—each video celebrating the heritage of aviation and the machines that defined an era.

#aviationfilm #historicalmachinestv #ww1 #warbirds #fokker
The Ashburton Aviation Museum, is a hidden gem of New Zealand’s aviation heritage. Join us for an interview with Owen Moore, Treasurer of the Museum Trust, as he shares how the museum began (50 years ago!), how it operates today, and what exciting plans lie ahead. We get inside stories of fundraising, restoration, community involvement and a rare chance to get hands-on with historic aircraft.
The museum holds one of the country’s most remarkable collections, including military jets like the only Harrier GR3 Jump-jet in the Southern Hemisphere, a Skyhawk, a Canberra cockpit, a Vampire and many early trainers and civilian aircraft.
We also hear about the exhibits that rarely get seen, those stored away or waiting for new hangar space, like a Fletcher, a Cessna Agwagon, and more. These are the sleeper treasures behind the hangars. Part of the charm is being able to walk under aircraft, climb into cockpits, and see them not as perfect static displays, but as machines with history. Owen describes how the 'no ropes' policy and encouragement to touch and explore connect people—especially ex-Air Force personnel—with their memories. This hands-on experience is a central ethos.
We also look at the museum’s development timeline: from the meeting in the early 1970's when local enthusiasts met in a library, the purchase of their first Harvard in 1978 on very tight funds, through to hangar building, getting aircraft like the Southern DC3 (ZK-AMY), the Skyhawk, displays, workshops, and now planning another large hangar plus function and community space.
There is a strong volunteer base, local fundraising (lots of raffles, market stalls, etc.), educational programmes for schools, and a real sense of community ownership.
If you're travelling through South Island NZ, this video makes the case: Ashburton Aviation Museum is well worth the detour — especially for aviation history fans, warbird enthusiasts, model builders, students, ex-service people, families, and anyone curious about how local heritage can be preserved and made accessible.

#aviationfilm #historicalmachinestv #ww1 #warbirds #fokkerdvii
This video places you inside the blister of a World War Two PBY-5 Catalina flying boat where yoiu can experience a water takeoff like never before in full 360° Virtual Reality. Shot from inside the rear fuselage blister, this immersive video lets you hear the deep roar of the twin Pratt & Whitney R-1830 engines and feel the spray of water against the perspex as the aircraft accelerates across the lake and lifts gracefully into the air. With no narration, this video can be enjoyed by aviation enthusiasts worldwide, no matter their language.
The Consolidated PBY Catalina was one of the most versatile aircraft of the Second World War. Used extensively for maritime patrol, anti-submarine warfare, and long-range reconnaissance, the Catalina also became famous for its search-and-rescue role, saving countless numbers of downed airmen across the world’s oceans. The PBY-5a model, like the one seen here, was an amphibious flying boat capable of operating from both land runways and open water.
Catalinas served in many air forces, including the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF), where they were vital for long Pacific patrols and transport missions. Their long endurance and reliability made them a lifeline for Allied operations across the Pacific theatre. The aircraft featured in this video is maintained by the New Zealand Catalina Preservation Society, ensuring the sound, sight, and history of this remarkable aircraft lives on for future generations.
This unique video was filmed in immersive 360° VR so viewers can explore the interior of the Catalina while experiencing the thrill of a waterborne takeoff. Look around, soak in the details of the aircraft, and enjoy an aviation experience few get to see in person. For the best results, watch in a VR headset or pan around using your phone or computer.
Whether you’re an aviation historian, a VR enthusiast, or simply love the sight and sound of classic aircraft, this onboard Catalina takeoff is a one-of-a-kind experience. Watch, share, and step back into the golden age of flying boats.

The first aircraft is a sleek Spitfire Tr.9 (MH367), carrying the distinctive EN520 desert colours of No. 81 Squadron RAF, flown by New Zealand’s top-scoring ace Colin Gray during the North African campaign.
The second aircraft is the battle-hardened Spitfire Mk.IX (PV270), decked out in the familiar markings of Alan Deere, the celebrated New Zealand-born ace of the Battle of Britain. The Mk.IX, introduced in mid-1942, significantly boosted Spitfire performance with its Merlin 61 engine, helping turn the tide in the air war over Europe.
The third is a powerful Spitfire Mk.XIV (NH799), fitted with the potent Rolls-Royce Griffon engine and wearing a South East Asia Command (SEAC) colour scheme with individual letter “T.” Previously owned by Sir Tim Wallis, founder of The Alpine Fighter Collection at Wanaka in New Zealand, this is the one in which he had a serious accident in 1996, and its return to flight a testament to the restoration teams efforts.
With no commentary or voice-over, this video allows you to fully immerse yourself in the sight and sound of these historic warbirds in flight—every engine note, every wingtip whistle, every formation pass—capturing the timeless appeal of the Spitfire for enthusiasts around the globe, regardless of language.
If you love classic warbird displays, Spitfire history, or WWII aviation, be sure to watch and share. Subscribe to our channel, Historical Aviation Film Unit, for more vintage combat aircraft in action—each video a tribute to the heroes and machines of the past.

See more Fokkers: youtu.be/kIrcloAmEhc
This rare formation flight features a single Fokker D.VII and seven Fokker Dr.I Triplane replica aircraft, all operated by The Vintage Aviator Collection in New Zealand. Captured in stunning detail, this display in 2017 marked one of the rare times since the Great War that eight Fokker fighters have flown together.
The video showcases the aircraft's original-style period markings, and vivid color schemes. There's no narration or spoken dialogue—only the sound of powerful engines and the incredible sight of these historic fighters in flight which makes the video perfect for aviation enthusiasts around the world.
The Fokker Dr.I Triplane became legendary during the First World War thanks to aces like Manfred von Richthofen (also known as the Red Baron), Ernst Udet and Josef Jacobs. The inclusion of the Fokker D.VII in this display adds even more historical significance, as it was one of the most advanced German fighters of the war and considered superior by many Allied pilots (this particular replica aircraft was actually built for the 1966 motion picture, 'The Blue Max').
If you're passionate about historic aviation, warbirds, or rare formation flying, this is a video you don't want to miss. Watch history come alive as these legendary aircraft take to the skies together in an awesome aerial display.

In 1918, as aviation was still in its infancy, the U.S. military explored an unusual idea — recruiting deaf pilots for combat. Drawing on a fascinating August 1918 Flight International magazine article, this video reveals how American army officers believed deaf aviators* might possess unique advantages in the air, including resistance to motion sickness, improved concentration, and fearlessness at altitude.
Although there’s little evidence that many deaf pilots were actually trained for combat during World War One, this experiment sheds light on the bold and sometimes unconventional thinking of early military aviation strategists. It also reflects the era’s drive to make the most of every potential pilot in a time of major conflict.
Today, while modern regulations may differ, being hard of hearing or deaf is no longer an absolute barrier to learning to fly. In this video, we look back at this intriguing chapter in aviation history.
* The 1918 text referenced in this video uses terms to refer to the deaf which are no longer acceptable. These terms are reproduced here only in order to maintain the historical accuracy of the report. For more information see: http://www.wfdeaf.org/contacts/faq

More WW1 aircraft: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5783AC5B8CC52FA6
In this video you can take to the skies with a rare and unforgettable view of a fully airworthy reproduction Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.2b—a two-seat pusher biplane that began life as a fighter and later evolved into a tactical night bomber during the First World War. Stunning air-to-air footage alongside a replica Sopwith Triplane, captures a unique moment in aviation history, more than a century after the F.E.2b first entered service.
Originally designed to counter early German air superiority, the F.E.2b's unconventional layout—with its rear-mounted propeller and forward gunner—gave it a vital role in ending the "Fokker Scourge." Though it was slower and bulkier than other aircraft of the era, its adaptability and teamwork-driven operation kept it in frontline service well after more modern designs had been retired. Featuring historic commentary and insights from pilots and observers, the video explores what made this ungainly aircraft such a valuable asset to the Royal Flying Corps.
This story includes perspectives from famed American observer Frederick Libby—the first U.S. airman to score a kill in the RFC—and recalls how the F.E.2b was involved in the Red Baron's first aerial victory. A must-watch for WWI aviation enthusiasts and history fans alike, this video showcases not just the aircraft, but the courage and grit of the men who flew them.

More WW2 Aircraft: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE903742711701B28
Feturing distinctive three Spitfires, a Griffon-powered Mark XIV, a dual-seat Spitfire Tr.9 post-war training variant, and the classic lines of a Mark IX, along with a Goodyear-built FG-1D Corsair, P-40 Kittykawk (Warhawk for our Amercian friends), and a Soviet Yak-3 fighter, this video as a WW2 aviation enthusiasts dream.
Following a couple of interesting take-off runs (look at how that Mk. XIV SPitfire drifts in the wind), several of the aircraft fly over head, and that is then followed by a full-on Balbo formation flypast of all the fighters together.
Finally the video ends with several of the fighters coming into land, close enough that the cameraman could have thrown a stick and hit each of the aircraft -- they were *that* close overhead. Beautiful visuals at Omaka Aerodrome in Blenheim (New Zealand), and simply stunning engine audio make this a near perfect warbird video!

Strap in—if you dare—for an onboard flight in one of the most unconventional aircraft of the First World War: the Royal Aircraft Factory F.E.2b. This rare air-to-air footage places you onboard a modern flying reproduction of this “pusher” biplane, offering a unique front-seat perspective of a design that placed the observer at the very front—without a seat, without a parachute, and with nothing but a cable tether for security.
The F.E.2b was a two-seat combat aircraft flown by the Royal Flying Corps from 1915 onward. Designed with the propeller mounted at the rear of the nacelle, this allowed the gunner in the front cockpit an unobstructed field of fire using two Lewis machine guns. But this innovative layout came at a cost: observers often sat on the floor with no restraints, and some tragically fell from the aircraft during dogfights. This video showcases not only the aircraft’s distinctive features—including its spent cartridge catcher bags—but also the incredible bravery required to fly it.
Whether you're a vintage aviation enthusiast or simply curious about early military aircraft, this is a rare chance to experience a living piece of WWI history from the inside. See what it was like to ride in one of the war’s most daring designs—equal parts brilliant and brutal.
Built by The Vintage Aviator Ltd in New Zealand, this is one of only two F.E.2b aircraft that have flown in the past 100 years.

More at Old Rhinebeck: youtu.be/ulbWn_07gmM
Step into the world of vintage aviation with this inspiring story of pilot Janie Daly, whose unexpected passion for flying led her from the world of animation to the skies over the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. In this exclusive interview, Janie shares how a single flight lesson during a summer break completely changed her life—shifting her path from art school to earning her commercial and instructor certifications in both fixed-wing and helicopter aviation.
Janie also odiscusses her journey of discovering Old Rhinebeck through her husband Cliff, who grew up at the historic airfield. Her awe at the rare vintage aircraft, the unique flying culture, and the hands-on community spirit of the Aerodrome is palpable. From pushing aircraft on the ground to flying daring ribbon-cutting routines in the air, she has become a passionate and vital part of this one-of-a-kind aviation family.
In this video Janie performs one of her signature ribbon-cutting demonstrations during a live airshow, and she reflects on the sense of camaraderie, history, and wonder that defines Old Rhinebeck. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or simply love compelling human stories, this video captures the magic of flying and a place that keeps it alive.

Witness one of the final low-level airshow displays by a Royal New Zealand Air Force C-130H Hercules, filmed at Omaka Aerodrome in Blenheim (NZ), less than a year before these legendary Cold War workhorses were retired after six decades of service. This footage captures the power and agility of the RNZAF’s iconic Hercules as it performs a crowd-thrilling flyby, showcasing a legacy of reliability and versatility that spanned generations.
First entering RNZAF service in 1965, these were the very first H-model Hercules built, and quickly proved their worth across the globe—from Antarctic supply missions to Vietnam support flights, natural disaster evacuations, and even unique tasks like airdropping a bulldozer onto Pitcairn Island. The aircraft's service life was extended by major upgrades including structural reinforcements and a modernized glass cockpit, giving the aging fleet a second wind as the C-130H(NZ).
With over 155,000 accident-free flight hours and nearly 100,000 landings, the RNZAF's C-130H earned a reputation as one of the world’s most dependable military transports. This video pays tribute not only to the aircraft itself but also to the generations of skilled RNZAF personnel who operated and maintained them. Don't miss this final chapter in the long-serving career of a true aviation workhorse.

Get flying at Old Rhinebeck: youtu.be/ulbWn_07gmM
The Aviation Grill, the new food outlet at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome opened July 2024 and is already a fan-favorite among weekend air-show crowds. In this video we chat with chef-owner Daryl to tour the kitchen built on-site and discover how locally sourced produce, house-smoked chicken and turkey, handcrafted burgers, and made-to-order paninis are replacing the “frozen-fried” fare of years past—without losing kid-pleasers like ice cream and snow cones.
For full disclosure, the is NOT a paid advertisement for ORA or The Aviation Grill. HAFU spent some time at Old Rhinebeck in 2024, and we enjoyed (and paid for) Daryl's food on numerous occassions, and this video is simply our attempt to help him get the word out their about his great new facility and menu -- it really IS worth a visit in our opinion!
Daryl’s mission is to “elevate the food”, and this translates into fresh, affordable meals, along with vegan and gluten-free adaptations on request. From breakfast bites before the first biplane takes off to satisfying grill plates between the WW1 aircraft displays, The Aviation Grill promises real food that keeps energy—and spirits—high throughout the Aerodrome’s signature vintage-aircraft shows.
Planning a Hudson Valley getaway this summer? Old Rhinebeck flies every Saturday and Sunday, June through mid-October, and now you can fuel up on site without leaving the flightline. Watch, like, and subscribe for more insider updates on aviation attractions, motorsports events, military-vehicle features, and living-history experiences.

See more ORA aviation: youtu.be/-4JgqvYb8NQ
Nestled in New York’s picturesque Hudson Valley, Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome offers visitors the chance to witness historic aircraft in action and take to the skies aboard a rare 1929 Standard D-25 biplane. With only 45 examples of the D-25 ever built, this joyride aircraft—once used for crop dusting, mail delivery, and even Coast Guard operations—gives up to four passengers a breathtaking view of rolling hills, the Hudson River, and local landmarks. Whether you’re attending a weekend airshow or planning a midweek appointment, you’ll learn everything you need to know about booking, pricing, and flight logistics in this video.
On airshow days, riders can join a first-come, first-served queue for a 15-minute flight, flying before or after the main airshow until dark. Weekday flyers have the option of the 15-minute joyride or an extended 30-minute “Lighthouse Tour” , which soars over Bard College, Mills Mansion, and iconic Hudson River lighthouses. Scheduling during the week is by appointment—call ahead to reserve your spot when weather and staffing align, take your personalized safety briefing upon arrival, and then enjoy your exhilarating flight.
Hear firsthand from the Campbell Family as they share their exhilarating in-flight experience: the roar of the engine, the joy of hand-signal communication, and the unforgettable moments when the pilot performed aerial maneuvers just for them. Their testimonial captures the excitement and nostalgia of flying in a living piece of history.
If you’re anywhere near the Hudson Valley this summer, don’t miss your chance to book a biplane experience at Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome.
NOTICE: For full discloure this is not a paid advert!! We've produced this video because we took a ride at ORA in the D-25, and it was such an awesome experience (as the Campbel family attest) that we want others to know about it as well! Just do it!

Witness one of the most exhilarating airshow displays in the Southern Hemisphere as the Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18F Super Hornet roars through the skies of New Zealand. Captured in stunning detail, this video showcases a low, fast, and deafeningly loud Super Hornet performance—something that sets New Zealand airshows apart from their international counterparts. With aircraft allowed to fly much closer to the crowd line than in most countries, this display is a rare visual and auditory experience for aviation fans worldwide.
This display isn’t just about spectacle—it’s a celebration of the RAAF’s Hornet legacy. The F/A-18 platform has served Australia for over three decades, from the introduction of the Classic Hornets in the 1980s to frontline combat operations in the Middle East. The Super Hornet, which now forms a key part of Australia's modern air combat fleet, brings multirole strike power and agility to airshows and battlefields alike, as shown here in an unforgettable low-level performance.
Whether you're an airshow regular, military aviation enthusiast, or discovering the power of jet fighters for the first time, this video delivers an unmatched look at the Super Hornet in action. Subscribe for more rare airshow footage, military aircraft history, and high-performance aviation from around the world.

Introduced in 1915 during World War One, the Eindecker revolutionized air warfare as the first true fighter aircraft, featuring groundbreaking synchronization gear that allowed pilots to fire through the propeller arc. This innovation gave German pilots a decisive edge during the infamous "Fokker Scourge," reshaping the course of the air war over Europe.
In this immersive video, you’ll see the Eindecker’s simple yet lethal design up close, from its pioneering monoplane structure to the rotary engine that powered it to the skies. The video provides historical context, sharing the stories of early aces like Max Immelmann and Oswald Boelcke, and explaining how the Eindecker's success spurred rapid advancements in aerial tactics and aircraft technology during the First World War.
Captured from an onboard perspective, this VR experience offers a rare and vivid look into the dawn of fighter aviation. Step back in time and witness the birth of air combat as you soar over the landscape in one of history’s most iconic aircraft.

This Video: There’s nothing quite like the raw sound of a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine in flight—an unmistakable blend of mechanical precision and wartime power. In this fast-paced video, you’ll experience the visceral growl and high-pitched whine of several legendary World War II aircraft as they roar past the camera. From flybys to landings, each shot highlights the unique acoustic signature of the V12 Merlin engine in action.
The Rolls-Royce Merlin is a supercharged, liquid-cooled V12 piston engine that powered many of the most iconic Allied aircraft of the Second World War, including the Supermarine Spitfire, Hawker Hurricane, Avro Lancaster, and De Havilland Mosquito. Originally developed in the late 1930s, the Merlin’s high-altitude performance, reliability, and robust engineering helped redefine air combat and gave the RAF a critical advantage in the skies.
Even decades later, surviving Merlins continue to captivate warbird fans and aviation enthusiasts alike. With horsepower ranging from 1,000 to over 2,000 depending on variant, their sound remains a symbol of innovation and determination. This video offers a short but powerful tribute to the legacy of the Merlin, captured through authentic aircraft engine noise—no voiceover, no music, just pure vintage horsepower.

In this video the Spartan performs an impressive low-level airshow display. Designed for tactical airlift missions in rugged environments, the Spartan has become the RAAF’s go-to “bush plane,” capable of operating from short, unprepared runways across Australia and beyond.
We showcase the C-27J's versatility and performance during a dynamic air display, highlighting its role in military logistics, disaster response, and humanitarian operations. With its high-wing design, short takeoff and landing capabilities, and rugged build, the Spartan bridges the gap between heavy airlifters and light utility aircraft—delivering critical supplies and personnel where larger aircraft simply can’t go.
Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, military buff, or curious about the latest in RAAF capability, this video delivers an up-close look at one of the most capable tactical transports in service today. Learn how the Spartan enhances Australia’s air mobility and why it's a vital asset in the RAAF’s modern fleet.

With a blend of historic aviation, military vehicles, and period-accurate reenactments, the video highlights the enduring appeal of one of the Southern Hemisphere’s most beloved heritage aviation events. Whether you attended the show in person or are discovering it for the first time, this retrospective is a must-watch piece of aviation history.

Classic Fighters 2005, held in March of that year, was the third edition of this now world-renowned event. The first two shows (2001 and 2003) established a reputation as quite different from the norm, and public feedback confirmed that visitors were keen to see something new. Thus, the overarching theme for the 2005 show was simply 'France'.
Classic Fighters committee member Lester Hope (a Safe Air avionics engineer at the time) had headed ‘prop development’ for the previous shows, and he’d managed to assemble a large team of volunteers to take on the challenge of making each Classic Fighters unique.
In 2001 the team built a WW1 tank and a French Chateau, and for the North Africa themed show in 2003 they built a 9m high pyramid, an Egyptian tomb, and a full size WW2 Ju.87 Stuka dive bomber, plus many other smaller props.
When Lester mooted the idea of building a 20m high replica of the Eiffel Tower for the 2005 show, not many people took him seriously. However, he set about erecting a replica tower constructed entirely from scaffolding materials, and visitors who were there will no doubt remember the results of his vision—the Classic Fighters Eiffel Tower helped to add a French feel and flavour of the show.
The team excelled themselves with numerous other props including the Moulin Rouge, a German Nebelwerfer rocket launcher, a new French chateau and town square, a German Wurzburg radar, and even their own Arc De Triomphe!
This month’s video features the trailer and end Highlights Reel from the official 2005 DVD, and is a great look back at that awesome 2005 airshow.
