Olham Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Kermie Cam - Albatros D.II Kermit Weeks (Owner of the FANTASY OF FLIGHT-Museum, Florida) got replicas of the Albatros D.II and the D.Va, built by THE VINTAGE AVIATOR, New Zealand. Weeks does in-cockpit videos with his "Kermie Cam", so we can share his joyrides on many great combat aircraft. For all who missed it yet - enjoy!

Hauksbee Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Cool videos, but I could wish that they wouldn't use that high distortion 'fish-eye' lens. It makes the beautiful Albatros look like it was drawn by Doctor Suess. Quote
GASCAN39 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Amazing machine, love the sound of it, looks like it is well kept Quote
Olham Posted October 10, 2015 Author Posted October 10, 2015 Yeah, not sure if he could also use a "normal" lense camera, Hauksbee - and why he uses this one. GASCAN, the engine is also a replica built by THE VINTAGE AVIATOR. They took an original MERCEDES engine apart and reproduced every part of it. That way they were able to build 3 or 4 Albatros D.Va, and 1 Albatros D.II so far. Here is a link - take the time and check out all their pages - there is so much to see! http://thevintageaviator.co.nz/projects/engines/mercedes-engine/merc180-report Quote
Typhoon Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Kermit Weeks also has a Mosquito and he gives a walk around tour of it in this video: Tony Quote
Olham Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 Tony, I found a great video filmed in the cockpit during takeoff and flight of a Mosquito. I put it into the "Mossie" thread. Quote
