Airshow reenactment of a World War II German Vergeltungswaffe 2 (retaliation weapon 2) or V-2 rocket is transported and erected on its launch site, only to be attacked by Allied fighters and a ground patrol, who eventually succeed in destroying the weapon before it is fully launched. • For more info on the V-2 see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V2_rocket • This is not a WW2-era movie -- this is a dramatised reenactment with a replica V-2 held at an airshow in New Zealand. Enjoy it for what it is. • • This full scale V-2 rocket replica built by a team lead by Roger Lauder for the Classic Fighters 2011 airshow. Bear in mind that while the replica features a rudimentary rocket engine, it was never designed to actually 'fly' - this is more stage theatrics (albeit very impressive ones), rather than accurate aeronautical engineering! • -- • http://www.aviationfilm.com • Copyright © 2011 Historical Aviation Film Unit • This video material may not be reproduced in any form (except as an embedded video on any other website), without the written permission of the Historical Aviation Film Unit.
