Saw that plane at Goose Bay Airport, YYR, around 15 years ago roughly.

Is this airframe still flying? The video is already a little bit old.

One of a kind that .

It unfolds its wings in a way that makes it seem alive.

Pasha

Whoever designed this ugly AF plane should be shot.

Wow Aaron! You're a rock star! Congratulations! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Wow! Watching this aeroplane taxi past the little Cessnas gives an idea of the size of that monster. That thing is a beast!

Powerful beauty 💪❤️✈️

Not the most elegant of aircraft but clearly did its job.

The RAN had these @ HMAS Albatross & embarked on the flagship HMAS Melbourne!!!

Olá boa tarde pra todos paz e saúde olha que aeronave magnífica

Those wings are crazy. For some reason I thought this had contra rotating propellers

An incredibly ugly yet strangely beautiful aircraft built to perform a duty which it did extremely well. The design and engineering were exceptional.

Talk about the weird and wonderful, a totally outstanding aircraft in every possible way, designed for a purpose which it achieved so damned well.

Besides the ugly flying machine, the dude catching a ride on the forklift is a big no no!

Que preciosidad de avión y que ingeniería ❤️🇪🇦

Nice

Awsome

Digital camera distortion of the props is annoying. Glad I don't suffer from seizures.

Самолет должен быть красивым !

I not speake english and i not save on.

A volte mi piace You Tube.

Fantastic video

Where did Mr. Odone learn to fly it?

Worked on that particular one on 849

These aircraft were superceded by the AEW mk3. Served with both types on HMS CENTUAR 1964/65. The mk3 had radar under belly. A big dome. It is believed that seven of these could cover the world in line. Pity they lost them before the Falklands conflict. Would have saved a lot of lives.

The optical illusion of the props is fascinating

I bet that Gannet would BITE!!! you in a stall at rate one power on!!

If you ever saw the old HMAS Melbourne ( around 20000 ton) from the Air at 1500 ft , you would wonder how they got this rather big aircraft on & off it. The thing is they did every day they flew off her.

Such a unique and beautiful A/C. I love this “British”beast!I loved the “ASW” version!!🇺🇸

What a construction- amazing!

Good video and good old Plane. I'm itching to find old Novo/Frog model in 1/72 and built she in such bright colours!

Is there a separate cockpit for the pilots huge brass balls? Cool plane

Awesome plane, looks like it’s ready to fly. I hope to see take off and land.

Wild!

Now that's what I call a startup !! Those contra-props are crazy , when you add the interferance from the computer screen .

Props give me the heebie-jeebies. You won't find me in the plane of rotation. No sir buddy.

So you need an air compressor to start it

I worked in a division of UTC back in the 90's in the design department.The company bought one of these that was a flyer, we were experimenting with noise levels with the counter rotating props. I was a draftsman working with drawings for mounting a microphone boom to the plane to measure levels. The project was canceled and never developed and the plane was donated to a local air museum.

I think the mother is the one in the backseat

Wow at 5:55 it just dwarfs those little Cessna's. Thanks for sharing.

Lol that plane looks like my best buddy fat Joe from the 80's.🤣😂🤣

Seriously sad that we in England couldn't keep one flying.

Too bad it came too late for WW2...The Axis powers would have freaked!

I really miss analog cameras. I wish I could see the props spin instead of looking like I'm having stroke.

If you've ever owned a piece of British machinery, you'll be in awe of it's oddly beautiful and complicated mechanical design and then the existence of such a flying machine as this with Z-fold wings, counter-rotating props and twin engines barely raises an eyebrow.

Génial,quelle belle mécanique,2 hélices contrarotatives avec apparemment 2 moteurs,les 2 hélices n'ont pas démarrées en même temps.
