11 Spitfires Roaring at Duxford: Rare Mk 1 Merlins vs. Griffon Mk XVIII at Flying Legends
Turn the volume up. This is an incredible celebration of the Supermarine Spitfire at the Flying Legends Airshow, Duxford. Experience the raw sound and power of 11 Spitfires sharing the sky, ranging from the early war survivors to the late-war powerhouses. In this video: The Formation: A massive 11-ship Spitfire flypast, filling the Duxford skies. The Origins: A rare formation of four Mk 1 Spitfires. Listen for the distinctive, lighter whistle of the early Merlin engines compared to later variants. The Powerhouse: The Griffon-powered Mk XVIII demonstrating the brutal low-level torque and "growl" that defined the late-war era. The Action: A classic, high-energy Tail Chase sequence. The Insight: We speak with the lead pilot Cliff Spink about the challenges of managing such a diverse formation of vintage warbirds. Whether you prefer the whistle of the early Merlins or the heavy roar of the Griffon, this display covers the full spectrum of Spitfire history.
