Couple of tricky landings here, check the Mustang around .36 looks like he put her
down the wrong side of the road, you can her the thump if you turn up the sound,
a couple of the others struggled a bit as well.
Looks like the strip falls away a bit wonder if that's the reason?

Yikes, I'm no pilot but to me it does look like a tricky place.

Mustang pilot tries to arrest the sink rate by raising the nose - certainly an early arrival. I really like the silver Hurricane

A mixture of undulating runway, poor forward visibility and too much airspeed (especially those Yaks).
The Spitfire at 0:10 very much reminded me of this:

Ha! When I was watching last night, I also said "Boompsadaisy!" when I watched that Spitfire!  |

Google the rego, and then 'North American Super Six'- 1,000hp mentioned on one of the links.

Looks like Old Hahnweide at Kircheim unter Teck southeast of Stuttgart.
The airfield is primarily a glider field, and has a significant rise at both ends and forest all around. The approach being shown is complicated by having to come around the Teck (castle on a ridge), over the forest and down into a valley onto the grass which slopes away. Most of the GA and Oldtimers (vintage aircraft) that use the field manage OK, but high speed warbirds with limited forward vision probably have no view of their touchdown point at all.
It is a great place for an airshow, however, and I recommend it as a bucket-list destination. Watching a Griffon powered Spitfire chasing a Fw190 around at low level in the skies of southern Germany is something special.
