The German well worth a look - Hedgehog - 02-29-2012 Watch to the end and you'll get an interesting lesson in history. Incredible four minute footage of a desperate Spitfire vs. ME-109 duel. You feel like you are there! Amazing computer work blended in with real photography. Also an interesting factual story that most of us did not know. History is rarely 'over.' Now sit back and strap on your parachute harness ... it is the summer of 1940 over the skies of England. Listen to the perfect 'purr' of the Rolls Royce Merlin ... Watch this full screen. It’s very well done.

Anyhow not that I'm a avation expert but as a layman I thought the ME 109 did'nt have the range to reach Ireland in 1940, maybe later on with drop tanks. Why did'nt he just shoot him three times, to be sure, to be sure, to be sure !!!. Just to clarify Southern Ireland is a bit of a REAL sore point with me, enough said.
