Interesting thing I learned recently. The Buccaneer was tried with turbo-props. The project was scrspped as farmers were upset to find their sheep freshly shaved after the prop equipped Buccs flew over. 😉

Cancelling the '46 atomic agreement was the consequence for giving the soviets the nene engine.

Youre welcome for helping you survive the war so you could make cool planes.

What a good looking aircraft. That 2. Wing route bridal is similar to the one I've seen photos of the A4 Skyhawk. Before they went to updated form. Thanks great video.

The Valiant was the only V bomber to drop a nuke so that vid needs to be done.

Very good-well researched , clear and concise-this channel , for me, is the outstanding aviation history presentation on KZbin.

IN the 1970s I was lucky enough to win a competition at an Air Training Corp summer camp, the prize was a flight in a Vulcan. I was fourteen at the time, but that flight has stayed in my memories as if it was yesterday!

Fazendo um pesquisa descobrir que a após guerra fria a NASA fez um estudo em parceria com Rússia pra estudar o TU-144

YES!!! ABSOLUTELY!!! THE VICKERS VALIANT!!!! PLEASE!!!!!🤔🤔🤔😉😉😊😊

The Avro Vulcan has always been an amazing design, and very fascinating aircraft!!! The design has always reminded me of a Pterodactyl!!! The designers, and engineers built a flying beast! If the design had some sort of two Extended rearward central structures that would give the visual effect of the missing legs!! Watching the aircraft maneuver in flight reminds me of the ancient flying creature!! Not meant as an insult in any way!! Just my personal observation!! Love watching this fascinating masterpiece fly, and maneuvering has always been a great pleasure to see!!! I wonder if anyone else has noticed the similarity!??? AWESOMENESS!!!!😳😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😉😊

THANK YOU, SON!!!🥇😉 Extremely well done!! The research, information, and style in which you present, and your voice is just absolutely essential!!!!😳😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔😉😉😊 I do wish you great success!! I am subscribed, and hope this Channel continues, and grows by leaps, and bounds!! THANKS from a Yank, in the former Colonies!!!😂😉😉😉😉😊

To bomb things.

Great video, very informative.

The more I look at that plane, the more I see a suppository with wings.......

42:50 Be very careful about criticizing the apartheid government of South Africa. SA was on the verge of total collapse due to the threat of a Socialist takeover by the Communist-backed ANC and it's predecessors. The ANC were not the good guys.

The Labour government gave the USSR a jet engine, which lead to the development of the MIG-15.

The British never hesitated in giving the jet engine to the Yanks,and that was a really big deal, then they pay us back by freezing us out of their nuclear program (of which Britain had been part of). Nice 🤔

The algorithm has been recommending this video to me for weeks and I finally got around to watching it (on xmas day of all days). Extremely impressed and a fascinating watch. new sub for sure. Thank you!

Very interesting video. I'm glad to have let you use some of my clips.

Back when the British manufacturers where still British

Dean Rusk asked, _"Does that include the dead Americans in military cemeteries as well?"_ after Charles de Gaulle told him that every American soldier must leave France. I hear that shut him up for a bit. Sabre dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.😮

As much as I love the ugly Bucc, I think we were probably ultimately wrong going with it over TSR.2 If CVA-01 hadn't also been cancelled and there was a need for carrier strike aircraft then the case for the Bucc would have been fair. But since they were turned over to the RAF anyway, I think it would have been better to go with an aircraft that was actually to their spec. It had more potential as an export plane too. But the cancellation of TSR.2 all but killed the British aviation industry too.

Fantastic content. Really enjoyed it. Ex Lossiemouth squadron.

What a well researched, engaging and informative video. Good work dude

It's funny how they never really seemed to consider the need for a conventional bomber in the nuclear age. While you could replace the nuclear deterrent with ICBMs, we'd never (so far) have to fire an ICBM in anger, whereas we have had to drop plenty of conventional bombs.

The hand drawn image at the bottom @12:05 looks so much like the Nighthawk profile.

I am old enough to remeber the "Little red delta" and the "little blue delta" flying from Woodford but later worked on Victors at Wittering, a better aircraft in my opinion.

i share 2 qualities with the A-7

I was assigned to Offutt AFB in the mid 70's where a detachment of Vulcan bombers were also assigned. I was very impressed by the aircraft. It is the only plane that looks larger flying then it does on the ground.

The Russians copying something? I WON'T HEAR OF IT! LIES DAMN LIES! 😅

For all that it did not hit a lot in the Falklands, did it. & that is with GPS introduced

Definitely a video on the Valiant please! The Vulcan and Victor get the limelight but all the V bombers were amazing tools of their time.

They built it because they could. They built it because they thought they needed it. That is the way the British used to be.

WOW!!!! THANK YOU, FOR THIS FANTASTIC, HIGHLY DETAILED, LOOK INTO A FASCINATING PART OF WORLD AVIATION, AND MILITARY HISTORY! ["SHARED"] MUCH APPRECIATED!!

looks like Nazi tech to me there’s no way some gay British guy came up with that

2nd longest bombing raid in history.

Thanks for your work... We had a Vulcan on Gibraltar Airport, late 80s ... i don't know which model, but it was based on a corner where pedestrians walked by that beautiful and impressive aircraft at 5 meters distance. It was placed there by the RAF as a museum piece. after the Falkland's.. can you believe the Tony Blair Gov got rid of of it, just to keep the Spanish politicians happy, because they started moaning about it, as offensive... It was broken to scrap metal and sold to Spanish scrap dealer...i know well, i had local transport company, and in my 20s they hired my machine to load the Spanish trucks...shameful.:(

He stayed at his post and saved those boys.😭 RIP to all Steely Eyed Missile Men.

The 107 with that intake location was a non-starter. I _do_ wish someone would do a gloss black with flat black highlight striping paint scheme render on her. If Darth Vader wanted a jet the 107 was it!😊 Can't tell you how many times I drove by a Vigilante gate guard at Millington NAS. Magnificent huge wicked looking aircraft!😮 Always one of my favorites. Hope it is still there.

KGB Line X was a Soviet State organization created for and tasked to Industrial Espionage and Procurement. Theft. Do I think they had access to information from the other projects? Undoubtedly. Do I think they actually needed it? Possibly but their aircraft engineers weren't bad. Sword and the Shield: The Mitrokhin Archive Great book. Goes into a bit on Line X. Worth reading.

Unfortunately I never got to see a Buck.😔 I always liked them.😮

Love me a dump truck with wings.🥰

It wasn't the GREATEST - it was the greatest

what does "lets crack on" mean?

Gotta admit. Always had a soft spot for twin boom types. P-38, Vampire, Cutlass, there is just an elegance about them.

The say the only reason you need to raise the undercarriage on a buccaneer after take off is so that thet can reduce their altitude.

This aircraft is responsible for me failing French…as noted by my French teacher in Lochaber High School in 1977-78. I quote”all he is does watch planes” I remember this plane screaming towards the class room then swinging to the right to fly by the new school extension often exposing the top side and underside. I saw so many Buc’s it got boring, in a nerd sort of way. Then came the Jaguars, F111’s, and I nearly fainted seeing Tomcat’s for the first time.
