Source of this Aerial Combat Produced(?) Footage (Worth Watching Anyway)


Recommended Posts

Posted

So from 30:44 to 33:35, there are a couple of Bf-109 tangling it up with a Spit (or two?), non-CGI, filmed from what appears to be a chase aircraft. Anyone have any idea where it comes from? Is it from a production --- movie or TV show? Maybe "Piece of Cake"? Something else?

Yes... this footage was used in a small enclosed 'simulator' (I use the term loosely) for the paying public at airshows.

I had a go in it with my kids at Duxford.

From what I can gather, it was filmed in the 80s or early 90s for use in a "motion simulator" (you know one of those boxes you get into and it shows you a movie and then the box is moved around with hydraulics in synch with what's happening on the screen) Supposedly for museum use, probably at Duxford, though I visited Duxford in the 90s and I don't recall such a contraption being there.

 

EDIT: Trooper beat me to it.

Thanks, all! I was honestly thinking that this query for info was a really long shot, because it seemed like such a short clip in relatively obscure context ...

 

... but I should have known to underestimate the experience and knowledge of this community!
