17 Vintage Aircraft Barn Find

[@mainecooncharlie3409]

Great video Mark and David. Skywagon U is unequivocally the best aviation channel available. Excellent history, visuals, facts and tidbits of information. Keep up the great work. It's incredible that the algorithm hasn't pushed this channel more.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Thank you. Yes I wonder why we aren't "viral" yet too.

[@blancolirio]

Wow! What a crazy collection of antiques I've never heard of right here in CA!

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

And very local.

This gentleman has some really interesting stuff at a very reasonable price, I'd like to buy that BMW ❤

There isn't a BMW in there. It is a 78 Golf Convertible. Is that what you meant.

I believe the turbine engine at 28:30 is a Turbomeca Marbore model II or model VI used in the Fouga Magister, Casa Saeta, and Morane-Saulnier Paris jets, and others.

Thank you. That is very detailed.

[@SteveRobertsTheNurdler]

Fantastic! Thanks for your time and effort.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Lee-qp6gf]

This was wonderful to see, and David sure knows his history. I know of most of these because my dad told me about them as he flew many. He also got his license in a Jenny. In fact, I'm here because of a forced landing, in his Jenny, on a farm that had two daughters, and wouldn't you know he kept flying back there.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Ha, amusing.

[@av8bvma513]

Haha! Sounds like Clark Gable in the movie: Test Pilot (1938)

[@adehol]

I love to see the dust these machines have collected. I feel I could give 'em a wipe and ......

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

If you wipe them, you'd never stop until they are all flying.

[@bingbong59]

Fascinating walk through time, thank you so much. As a school boy I saved my lawn mowing money so as to take a monthly learner flight in a Champion, we practiced bombing rabbits 🐇 and very low flying, memories I will never forget.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

What did you bomb the rabbits with.

[@marklyons9418]

One of your best episodes yet, very cool. Thank you for all of the really good information and content.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

[@musoseven8218]

Glorious Mark. Ideal opportunity for a restorer or several restorers to save these classic aircraft. I vaguely know of another similar situation, in the USA.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Many of the planes don't require anything other than reassembly and an annual.

[@donaldjiruska1808]

Radials have a master rod, and the pistons articulate sequencially. An even firing order requires an odd nuber of cylinders, skipping the next adjacent cylinder (e.g. 1, 3, 5, 7, 2, 4, 6, 1, etc.). I love your videos! My family's company restored Waco Taperwings in my youth.

What a fantastic video. A great insight into yesteryear and an incredibly knowledgeable gentleman. Interesting to hear about your grandads background too. Spitfires have been flying over a lot today here in Chelmsford taking people on pleasure flights in the twin cockpit. Music to the ears!

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

How much is a ride in a Spitfire?

[@myleslovegrove7856]

@@skywagonuniversity5023 I think It's about £3000.....for around half an hour. Seen it up around here with a helicoter getting footage of their flight....probably considerably more with that little add on!

The best yet! I hope you are successful in moving some of this collection.

[@DragerPilot]

The sound of the windmill is nostalgic. I’ve heard it all through my years at home. Thus one does sound like it is in need of service.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Needs grease

[@nigelappleton2963]

Never understand these people, fantastic collection of wonderful old aircraft with all the bits just randomly scattered all over the place.

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

The hangar had been packed full, with no room to move about. The wings were removed to facilitate storage. The parts are all there, ready for reassembly, and all but two of the planes flew to the hangar. Now, planes are being sold and space is opening up. - Don the Camera Guy.

[@erniekelly2479]

Oh my gosh. What a delightful half-hour. The prices seem crazy low. Then I realize I’d need to transport, assemble, and get checked out. Still…a guy can dream!

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Yes, there are some expensive logistics involved especially if you are far away.

It's priced very fairly but I have nowhere to store it once it is assembled. They are deceptively big.

[@cinnamanstera6388]

@skywagonuniversity5023 meh, as we've seen, fully assembled storage is not necessarily a condition of ownership

Except for 2 or 3 possible flyers that’s a barn full of projects. The champ would be fun and the last one is interesting.

They are projects.

This is a great Barn fine

[@Blucenturion344]

THAT'S WHERE I'VE HEARD IT! That was bugging me, thanks!

[@AndyRRR0791]

Radial four-strokes (single row) are odd so that all the cylinders get to fire evenly and in order every two revolutions. As soon as you add rows though, you can have your even number of cylinders. BTW, buy that Moth, Mark. You know you need it!

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Thanks about the odd numbers. The Moth. Where would I store it.

[@tedanderson463]

How simply put.... I've never heard an answer that was so easy to understand and follow.... So it looked like a 5-cylinder..... And it's four cycle...... So the crank rotates twice before all cylinders are fired.... So the crank rolled 720 °..... And then divide that by 5....???? Which does that mean every 144 degrees you have a piston firing....so..720 divided by 5.....??? And 360 / 5 is 72°... 72 x2 equals 144.. I just made myself dizzy but I believe you.

[@elosogonzalez8739]

There was a doctor at our home airport that had a Tiger Moth. I got to fly it once on a very COLD dau; I wish I could have enjoyed it more.😊

[@marttimattila9561]

Demoiselle got my tension it was a first plane that was imported to Finland but unfortunately werent never flown by the lack of proper training. Maybe that flew in the Movie "Those magnifigent men.."

[@robflange]

My grandfather flew mosquitos with 515sqn The Demosoille is rough copy of NZ's pioneer aviator Richard Pearces designs Richard Pearces was known publicly as "Bamboo Richard/Dick" For his construction methods in 1902 ,1914 he also patented ailerons but WW1 wiped out all his and others patents

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

Interesting.

[@davidcampbell2845]

Quote: "Four-stroke radials have an odd number of cylinders per row, so that a consistent every-other-piston firing order can be maintained, providing smooth operation. For example, on a five-cylinder engine the firing order is 1, 3, 5, 2, 4, and back to cylinder 1."

Ah, That makes sense.

[@ChollaJJ]

Curious as to why they are in pieces .? Are they in the repair or retro process ?

[@skywagonuniversity5023]

That hangar was so packed full a few years ago that the only way that everything would fit was to make them smaller by taking off the wings.

If you're interested in vintage aircraft, watch the movie "Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines". It's old (1960s I believe) and goofy, but it has a lot of actual flying scenes of real and replica early 1900s aircraft, like the Demoiselle.
