A ghost Spitfire then. 😀

Describing it as a cartoon is taking it too far. The canopy is just a little too tall from what I can tell from the pics Ive seen from it. Cant see anything more wrong than that.

Besides, I wouldnt know how to build a Mosquito in a million years so Ill keep my mouth shut 😀

When I was a kid my dad told me the story of a Messerschmitt 109 somehow crash landing into lake Mjøsa of Norway with the pilot still intact. It’s supposedly in a very deep part of the lake making it almost impossible to bring it up.

What makes me a little bit skeptical is that I do believe my dad said it was shot down by flak or some form of anti air guns from one of the hillsides around the lake. Since its a Me109 this would have to have happened before the Germans rolled thru the area the weeks after the invasion 9th of April. Not even sure the Germans had their 109’s over that shortly after the invasion. Could be an Me110 maybe. Then again, it might nothing.

Thanks for sharing. Especially like the polished Sabre 😀

So the original war paint is on? 😮 😀

Ironically you’d get a whole bunch of people on here complaining about the use of CGI.

Yes, if theyre done poorly. They sometimes are.

But then again, choose. Piece of cake should have been packed with action but instead it’s basically just Spits taking off and landing. The only huge scenes are the battle at Hells Corner and the bridge scene which are amazing. If they had the money and the know-how to add CGI or more good out-takes from the BoB they would have done so. They did but it was pretty cheap. They show the same Heinkel scenes lots of times for example and I’ve said enough about the explosions already. They only work if you have a tendency to be in denial about how bad they are or a good imagination!

The rest are basically non existant because it wasnt possible. They did as much they could with Dark Blue World 10 years later but that too was almost a near miss due to the hopeless scenery of the airfield. Anyone could see it wasnt in England. If the Piece of Cake producers had our technology at hand they would have embraced it and used it. But it had to be used good. They would have done their best with it and it would have been satisfactory. Probably maybe? 🙂

The CGI effects are still not 100% perfect. It will be. Give it another 10-15 years and it will be pretty damn perfect. They did great with Dark Blue World and this was in 2000 wasnt it? And they usually used out takes and not complete CGI. This, still, works best due to the CGI not being good enough yet.

Seeing a Spitfire fly by you with all its history, all its speed and all its glory is art. Art in its most beatiful form created by the human kind.
