Thank you, LeBigTed! 
That was a sentimental video for anyone interested in WW2, for sure - myself included. Even with simple maneuvers, I really got a sense of the fighter's power and agility.
One would think that having almost half the fuel gone by the time the pilot got over jolly ole England, the Bf-109s would be very nimble with the reduced weight. I have read for years that over 90% of fighter engagements were decided in 3 minutes or less between two or more aircraft, so I feel that the low fuel issue was not a much of a factor as many believe - unless a Bf-109 takes leaking damage to tanks or fuel lines.
It would be interesting to know how many or if this Bf-109 is on record with confirmed kills.
