Flew in the 330 in Philippines going back early 90s...

The sound on take-off @ 3:25. Ahhhhhhhh, music to my ears.

That aircraft was wonderful!

There’s only two 727s based at the airport now and they are the oil spill response planes. These are now both 40 years old, previously flew for fed ex and were the last off the production line

So much better than the wimpish second fiddle DC9..

Smokin like a trooper.

Stunning plane and amazing sound. I remember the Sudanese TAAT coming into Manchester in the 90s trailing black smoke and looking battered! Screaming engine noise as it turned when taxiing. Nice to see & hear the Air Rwanda 9XR-JA. It was always the last plane in the Civil Aircraft Markings but sadly I never got to see it.

Terrific video. I used to train spot along the line betweem Leigh-on-Sea and Shoeburyness in the 1950s. There were still a couple of the old LT&S 4-4-0Ts around in the mid 1950s but most of the motive power was 2-6-4t engines, standard and Fairburn class 4s and all of the Stanier 3 cylinder engines (37 in total). I travelled to work from Southend East to the City of London in 1961 and 1962, when steam was replaced by EMUs. Happy days.

Don’t worry, silly music stops after about a minute

Bac when planes sounded like planes, 707's and Tridents were noisy too also not forgetting the thick black smoke they spewed when taking off.

My late father , was a load master on that aircraft

Does anybody know if the 1-11 had rear facing seats over the wings?

Each and every one of the EMUs in this video i serviced and repaired. I was a fitter at east ham depot from the early 80s through to 96. I enjoyed every minute working on these beauties. Each one had its own unique charm and character to drive, work on and, i know it sounds strange, smell. I would love to see if any have been preserved and are still working.

Do you have any knowledge of the Brickfields in Cranham about 26 miles to the west which are also Essex Clay.

I.worked.on.cl.4.many.years

LOOKS LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN AN F-27 FAIRCHILD AND A DEHAVILAND CARIBOU...jmo

Andovers have a unique sound with their dart engines just like 757s have with their RRs.

When i was a young lad,about 50 years back now,we used to go on regular holidays to Guernsey and flew on these and Viscouts.I think the Heralds were flown by BIA if remember rightly.The screetch from the engines on either of them is one of my earliest childhood memories

日本のYS-11と同じ RRのダートエンジンサウンド懐かしいですね。

All that noise+smoke 🎶😎👌

The sound of the Viscount. I can even play the sound effect on the piano. Viscount taxiing.

I believe my father is the one flying this very plane RIP capt. Frank Pfeiffer

The 707 had some serious flaps!

I have flown in this Guppy and more CL-44's when i worked for Transmeridian (Kegan)Air Cargo out of Stansted, she was grounded in the early 70's because her main spa had a strees crack, a crew came from the USA to fix it.

I love the viscount, I remember them when I thought I had a apple.

I worked for Transmeridian in the late 60s early 70s and flew in this monster the (guppy) one time i remember her grounded because of main spa cracks

Back in the 90's this runway was less then a mile long, yet they had 707's and DC-8's fly into there. They even had a L-1011 on that short strip.......

wonderful footage

Mechanic attempting to push the revereser back lol. Fantastic!.

The Sheik of Abu Dhabi had a personal Viscount know as the Golden Budgie. It ended up operating with Manx Airlines. It was reported that a hard landing caused sand to appear from inside the trim.

VAYA CABALLO

BAC 111s like the Viscount before them were excessively noisy around airports among their other short comings (range and capacity). Apparently some of them lived in Africa, but for how long and with what results though now nearly all have disappeared.

Thanks Robin. Another good one. Never get bored with watching your series of potted activities at Southend.

So very noisy

Another one of your superb series featuring Southend. Always interesting, always informative. Many thanks

Remember my first flight was on a Viscount from Dublin to Le Bourget in 1962

It's a nice song of turboprop egines....... )

In 1987 I had a short domestic flight from Legaspi to Cebu on one of the newly introduced SD360s of Philippine Airlines (PAL). Of that flight, I had no choice, PAL then had the monopoly of the domestic passenger airline market. The roughly hour long flight was the worst flight I flew. The cabin was super noisy I felt dizzy for most of the flight. After the flight, the dizziness somehow stretched into a fever which extended into the following day. I vowed not to fly on an SD360 again. Those times were the twilight of PAL’s monopoly of the domestic airline market. A few years after that unforgettable SD360 flight, the Philippine domestic market started to open to other airlines giving more choices of destinations, flight sectors and frequencies, and aircraft types. During this period PAL also quickly phased out the new SD360s and the aging HS748s from their fleet, changing these types with F50s.

J’ai adoré cet appareil.Même volé sur un vol de Air Inter enfant !

As usual Robin, top notch !

Another excellent video. Always highly emotive to view these first generation jets. Great days

Definitely had to where hearing protection when those things rolled in. Bloody loud!!!!

No thanks lol

One of most frightening aviation “horror film“ I’ve ever seen here on KZbin, regarding the scrapping scenes of the mighty Belfasts. Many thanks for the Short Belfast flight videos! 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Returned from Japan (MisawaAB) Aug 65, to Anchorage to Travis on a Tigers CL 44. A fond memory, fine looking FA’s too

I spend 3 hours trying to find this channel finally I’m so glad I found it again !!!!!!

Fein! Sehr fein! 👍👍👍😘

Great video clips of this classic bird. I flew back from Malaga - Gatwick (Dan Air) in 1981. The Captain allowed my brother and I to visit the flight deck. We were up there for well over an hour. They had us changing bulbs, and even let us slightly turn the yolk..gosh you could never get that now. Great memories ❤ Outbound to Malaga was on a Dan Air B727.

I just found these videos after a year of looking. It came up in suggested videos. So glad love these classics

I remember those days when the 707s dominated in the aviation industry.
