I was lucky enough to be walking near my home (next to RAF Scampton) and I saw the last flying Vulcan circling around the aerodrome... it was fantastic

[@Platinumsniper]

There is an airline in Northern Canada called Buffalo Airways that flies mostly DC-3 as well as a few DC-4, C-46, and Lockheed L-188 Electras

[@nocouponsforkaren8587]

Omg jingles was actually in the navy!!! I had not f***ing clue and I've been watching him for like 5 years

[@Tryinglittleleg]

nicholas salwei he has had 20 years in the navy

[@Sakhmeov]

Fun fact: The Concorde wasn't just practically the only passenger plane to fit afterburners, but it's one of only two planes ever to fit both afterburner and thrust reverser on the same engine, the other being the SAAB 37 Viggen.

[@claytonburch8681]

called the the thunderbolt a wildcat lol

[@The_MightyJingles]

Duxford have three more airshows this year. Flying Legends 13-14 July. Duxford Air Show 7-8 September and Autumn Airshow 13 October.

[@olliewills1227]

Even with him correcting himself I still got triggered when he called a anson a Lysander

[@riproar11]

Don't use the word "triggered". It's literally more annoying than the word "literally".

[@ronnieaarav7858]

a trick : you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies these days.

[@OriginalEric]

The strobe effect at the end that makes the plane's props hold still was kind of amazing! Love these museum vids Jingles.

[@binaryfinary1]

it's a thunderbolt that 3.04 n not the wildcat

[@nykstysanyksciu]

I've been there 6 times and I've loved every moment there!

[@edmundsdemonds8309]

At 18:20 the sound track becomes overplayed from a different part

[@danielxh558]

yeah that was so funny XD

[@batchat25t77]

Growing up living in south eastern Michigan I would see B-17s and and mustangs flying over the house multiple times a summer going up to different air shows. Wasn't a far drive to the Air Force museum in Dayton either! Always took it for granted. Funny how different perspectives make you appreciate things more!

[@jerrymcgady3779]

This may be in poor taste, but hey, a lot of jokes are. Jingles: When was the last time you washed your car Eddie? Eddie: When did it rain last?

[@BNRmatt]

I had the pleasure of visiting Duxford during my time in England - I'm glad they've kept the place up and, evidently, greatly expanded the exhibits. My grandfather was stationed at a nearby airbase during the war, as a civilian volunteer with the Army Air Corps. He still speaks fondly of England and the British today.

[@mitadjordjevic7350]

Jingles,the ZASTAVA pistol is not russian,its serbian

[@Tjezee]

I've been in a historical airplane museum and a modern aviator flight show but I have to admit, playing warthunder and seeing these videos made me appreciate these marvelous pieces of history a lot more. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@hojer95]

victor was the last of the tree V-bombers of the V-Force to enter service :)

[@RichardM-kv4uu]

Went there over the weekend, and it is an amazing day out, so much to see, in fact too much for just one visit! You could spend all day in just one of the hangars, there are SO MANY planes (and other things) to see, and walking through the Concorde was absolutely amazing, one of those things I'll never forget! (Mind your head though, I banged mine twice!)

[@jos7405]

Jingles, you are driving on the wrong side of the road. Oh wait... its England...

[@jos7405]

England, you so silly...

[@jakedeane5304]

+jo s we have been driving on the left side for hundreds of years

[@almostkentish3042]

jo s we've been driving for longer than you, we make the rules!

[@akkermanrik]

So fun to watch you are all exicted and a enthusiastic speaker about all those aircrafts you showed in the video so nice to watch. Thank you for sharing it with me.

[@roanferguson8873]

There is so much wrong with jingles's facts here

[@MrsBobby-gy5of]

Roan Ferguson Why is a guy who doesn't know his aircraft doing this vid ?

[@philbarnes7620]

Look forward to next part, my dad was one of the test flight engineers on Concorde when it was at Fulton and Fairford.

[@RobbieRR]

3:00 it's a p-47 not a hellcat -_-

[@MrElis420]

+Roy Shein No, it's a P-47. Look at it, how does it look anything like a Hellcat?

[@MrElis420]

Roy Shein Dude, you said it was a Hellcat in your first post, I don't see one, I see a P-47 in front, a P-40 behind the P-47, and a A-1 Skyraider or something in the back with the folded wings.

[@MrElis420]

Roy Shein That's not an F6F or F4F lol, it's clearly a P-47. Sure, the two are similar in looks, and used basically the same type of engines, but seriously... How can you miss that it's not a Hellcat or Wildcat? Turn on the video annotations, Jingles himself wrote it's a P-47.

[@MrElis420]

Roy Shein I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, I just genuinely don't get how you think it's not a P-47 man.

[@MrElis420]

+Roy Shein I know, it does have 8 guns. The guns closest to the pilot were inserted further back into the wings, making it look like there was only 6 guns. Look at the engine cowling, look how far spaced out the landing gear is, no tail-hook, it's painted in the Operation Overlord invasion stripes, it's just obviously not a carrier aircraft like the F4F Wildcat or F6F Hellcat, it's a P-47 dude! Compare these images to the view of the guns on the aircraft. www.google.com/search?q=P-47+guns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi15Lrp-6jMAhUByYMKHZ2EAuEQ_AUIBygB&biw=1600&bih=785#imgrc=N-VpjSoNmgPvZM%3A

[@olentangy74]

Great video. As an American who is a lifelong WW2 buff as well as someone who has spent a career in aviation, I would love to visit Duxford. I would like to stay at a B&B in Duxford and be there during the annual air show. It looks like a beautiful place. My uncle was a ball turret gunner on B-24 Liberators out of RAF Shipdahm.

[@DwayneHicks323]

Jingles you have to agree the noise a Vulcan makes when the open the throttle is amazing it's just a awesome plane.

[@kennethn9758]

they were rolls royce merlin engines

[@alasdairblack393]

Soaring tractor your reputation precedes you. This Lancaster is actually a MKX Canadian built Lancaster one of around 500 Canadian built. So how does it feel to be corrected?

[@starfuryms582]

Ah, this brings back memories. Before I moved to Canada, I used to live about half an hour from Duxford. My workplace at the A11 rest stop in Little Abington was about 10-15 minutes away. We used to go to the museum at least once a year. I remember walking through that Concorde back when they had it perked out on the taxi-way. Don't think they had the Vulcan back then, but I could be wrong. I do remember seeing the Vulcan flying at the R.A.F Leuchars air show back when my dad was stationed there. So when I was about 10. I can still remember how loud that thing was even 20 years later XD. Also, shame on you Jingles for not pointing out the Sturmgewehr 44 in the weapons case XD. That gun was an important part of history. It may not have had much of an impact on the war, but it was the worlds first assault rifle, even giving us the name for the class of weapons (Sturmgewehr literaly translates to 'storm rifle', with storm obviously being the 'storm that position' variety, thus, assault rifle).

[@rodneyperry2490]

The village has not changed because it is located in England. Muslims would be the only notable change.

[@VetAnimalGuy]

It's funny because it's true.

[@als_pals]

Whoa there buddy

[@Falkirion]

Jingles can't wait to see the rest of the museum. Duxford just made my must visit list for when I get over to England.

[@The_MightyJingles]

I'll be there for Tankfest. Not sure if I'll be wearing the Panzerwaffe uniform with the MP40 or the US Airborne gear with the old M1 Garand, though...

[@sgtbloodsplat]

Great video Jingles very educational. I could be mistaken but from time to time here in Toronto Canada there's a Lancaster buzzing around and it just an amazing bit of kit that plane. Cheers.

[@redswift31]

Jingles I have never really been a huge plane fanatic untill I really started watching your vids now vids like this make me all happy!

[@RuDyinzilibanon]

i've been to duxford a few years ago but i was in november so there was no air show and it was raining, but still it was one of the best experiences i ever had

[@airzulu2733]

Duxford probably the best aviation museum in europe . Well worth the visit .

[@aceshigh666666]

i went to the flying legends last year and i am going back someday. thanks for this nice view of duxford's history

[@still_guns]

That Lysander was actually an Avro Anson. Also G-AXDN, the concorde is 1/4 the sive of a real concorde. Delta Golf.at Brooklands is massive.

[@SaFalken]

I saw Sally B take off at Duxford a few years ago. There was not a show on, and no announcement that it was taking off. I didn't even think it was airworthy. Walking from hanger to hanger and suddenly all 4 engines spool up. It was great to see her take off.

[@Razgriz005]

Jingles. on the Concorde a round trip from new york to paris would have cost 10,000USD right before the paris crash, compared to an equivalent subsonic airliner which would be around 2000USD. So taking this into mind a Concorde ticket would cost roughly 5X times as much as a normal 747 flight ticket.

[@LordBiggleswade]

Thanks very much for sharing all of these videos, Jingles! A few years ago, I took part in a study abroad program at the University of Cambridge. One day, I made a quick trip down the M11 to Duxford for a day. Seeing all those beautiful machines was magical and I felt quite a bit like you did judging from this video. You did a great job of capturing all the wonderful history there is to be found at the museum. Nice work! Thanks again and cheers from the United States!

[@XxwookiedancerxX]

Jingles, Thanks for making this video and sharing it with the youtube community. It is really nice to see someone as cheerful and kind as you giving back to the channel. I know you didn't have to do this but you did anyways. Thousands and thousands of people thank you for it :)

[@scottboyer8450]

That Handley Page Victor has got to be one of the most beautiful aircraft ever. All the "V" bombers were pretty but that thing is just a work of art.

[@georgeaxl123]

Jingles, at 05:13 the aircraft behind the spit, its a EMB 312 (Military AT-27) "Tucano", Low-wing tandem-seat single-turboprop basic trainer with counter-insurgency capability developed in Brazil, by Embraer. We no longer use it for defense in Brazil, only for basic training of flight cadets. the new emb 314 (A-29) replaced it as light fighter. i've piloted many of these and i can say that it is very maneuvarable. looks pretty cool on the RAF colors. Nice video!

[@gibbosapien123]

I went to this show a few years back and I recommend it to anyone who loves planes, I was fortune enough to see all the planes in the video fly including the red arrows and a euro fighter and OMG it was loud

[@gianiyo15]

i was really sad because of a person being killed in my family , but watching this video made me a bit happier , it was about my favorite things, Jingles , museums , roadtrips and history , thanks jingles for bringing a smile on a sad persons face

[@hyper2monkey2boy]

Man Jingles, being near jets is awesome, one of the best experiences ever for me was touching an F-35 Lightning II. I live near a large air force base with a museum. I always love seeing aircraft

[@Garfunkle567]

my uncle ken was in tears when u showed the Lancaster tail seat had some some memories of it over Dresden thanks m8

[@timpattenden8915]

I’m so lucky to live just 10 miles away in Saffron Walden. There’s always some lovely planes that come past

[@Sf_Mason]

The Vulcan is insanely loud, I was lucky enough to see the one restored by Vulcan to the Skies at Bruntingthrope taking off when testing my university's Formula Student car. We all stopped and just watched as this thing lit all four after burners and ROARED off down the runway, awesome sight and sounds!

[@SaFalken]

Jingles, have you ever been to East Fortune? Some nice planes there, and the last time I went I was allowed to get inside Vulcan XM597 and sit in the cockpit. What an experience!

[@davegbp]

I share your interests in military aircraft of yesterday and today...If you ever get a chance to come the states, you need to visit the EAA Air Venture in Wisconsin.....A huge display of WWII aircraft that actually fly and you can go up to and touch, talk to the pilots...and even be up close when they start up, taxi, and take off....with sometimes as ,many as 25 P51 Mustangs, B17s, B25s...etc...a few years back, I got to see a British Lancaster...really cool!

[@brakeollie27]

I'll be over in the US for Oshkosh next year, hoping we have Vera there!

[@The_MightyJingles]

It's true, I only spotted the Comet on the way out. Driver obviously has 100% camo.

[@marcbiff2192]

The lightning near the Torpoint ferry was owned by a guy i used to work for he had it on display outside the workshop it was normally in good condition it could be the one that is now on display at Castle Motors near Liskeard.

[@JohnoO_O_]

Thoroughly enjoyed this series of videos from you Jingles, thanks

[@fardiemann]

Thank you so much for making these videos for us, what an genius idea to take everybody on trips to museums with Uncle Jingles! I will visit these museums myself one day.

[@MrShamWowTheGreat]

Gotta love a guy with such a passion, especially when I share that passion! Go jingles!!! Love ur videos!

[@coldnova]

Thanks Jingles, as a big plane buff i love it when you do this stuff for us.

[@Gool349]

Jingles, you gotta come to the "Flugwerft" in Schleißheim, close to Munich, Germany. its at least as big as the imperial war museum and also has an airstrip where on some days of the year all these beautiful planes get to fly and people do miniature airplane and diorama contests and shows inside the hangars

[@ChardFXN]

I absolutely love Duxford and have been there a number of times, but I can't help but feel they nicked that lightening from outside Rochester Airport. My daily commute was livened up by that thing, I MISS YOU LIGHTENING

[@collinlingaitis8872]

Saw those mark 1/2 spitfires and I almost cried... I mean... TWO OF THEM?? Gorgeous planes

[@georgeaxl123]

Exactly, only re-engined with a 1.100 shp Garret, with four-blade propeller. (original T-27 uses a P&W PT6 engine with better climb power) the avionics suffered minor changes because of british operational training patterns. But i was talking about the plane itself not the modification, although, good point you have made.

[@MGLegacy17]

Duxford IWM is awesome. I was there at the Jubilee airshow last year and saw the Sally B B-17 and some other cool stuff. Definitely worth a trip if there's an event on.

[@DS_Silverfox]

Thank you Jingles, look forward to more museums

[@olivercopleston]

Jingles, as a person living in Plymouth, I'm pretty sure that the 'Lightning' you were talking about at 12:43 is now preserved atop a podium at Castle Air, heading east into Cornwall. Just google image search "Castle air lightning" to see it.

[@B0GlES]

Neat, a Lancaster! I got to see a Lancaster recently on the isle of wight as it mad a few passes at low altitude. The noise was insane!!

[@iKvetch558]

Hello again, Mighty Gnome Overlord...I realized the other day that you had posted videos of a visit you made to IWM Duxford in 2013 with Camera Minion Eddie. However, only two of an apparent four videos that you posted are still up on KZbin. There is a "Part 1" and a "Part 3", but no "Part 2"...and there was a caption at the end of part 3 that says there is another video of the actual Air Show you had gone to Duxford to attend. I am wondering what happened to the other parts? I would really like to see them if possible, as Duxford is one of the museums I visited the summer I spent in England in 2009.

[@GrasshopperKelly]

He took a good 1/4 or so of his videos down a short while back, out of fear due to a string of copy right claims, and he did it again a couple of months ago, whenever he finnished the Red Dead 2 story.

[@AnnihilatorCZ]

Sally B, that B-17 was on the aviation fair here in the Czech Republic earlier this month! It was a sight for sore eyes, really!

[@TheCoolBritishGuy]

I remember when I saw, and more importantly heard, a Vulcan for the first time at the Blackpool Air Show a few years back. I recall it flying in from behind the crowds and scaring the crap out of everyone. It was the loudest and most terrifying-looking aircraft I've ever seen.

[@HammaneggsAirborne]

Jingles, if you decide to visit U.S. You should tour the U.S. pacific coast during the summer sometime, it has great aircraft museums. I would suggest going to the Boeing Field museum (SR-71) in Washington, then head down the Evergreen Aerospace museum (SR-71, The Spruce Goose) in Oregon, then watch the Sacramento Capital Airshow with the a bunch of huge planes to walk in, and jets flying over at nearly supersonic. Afterwards, the McClellan air museum has a great collection of jets (A-10, F-14)!

[@valcan321]

@ODSTspam3 I know the B-29 is not sure about the P-36. Plus its a damn huge plane. Not sure how much fun to fly it would be.

[@camerondenchfield8529]

I live in the village where the Memphis belle was based, the Sally B was used in the film hence why it has the markings on only one side, all the shots of the belle are from the same side.

[@BUSTINMOVER1]

Not happy I've got tickets for Saturday 13/09/14 and I've just seen the line up for flying. they have got the lancasters and Vulcan flying on separate days, that's well planned isn't it

[@Malivictus]

thank you jingles for this video and many others like this to come,seeing even just one of the MK I spits just made my day..the MK 2 is my fav i War Thunder shot down 3 B-25s and 2 Yak 9Ts last time I was in her..

[@irishtank42]

Jingles, you would love the Wright Paterson USAF Museum here in Ohio. Washington DC. has nothing on Ohio because the Museum has 4 hangers filled with aircraft and circular room filled with every ICBM the US has ever used standing up right in Genesis pattern. It has almost every aircraft the US has ever used or tested and they plan on building another hanger. This museum takes at least a day to get through and at most two days. A thing of note it has almost all the MIGs and Air Force Ones.

[@black0ps0815]

Oh man im so jealous Jingles...i always wanted to visit the Imperial War Museum but never had the opportunity yet when i was in the UK. Thank you for this great video.

[@richardbuxton3546]

Enthusiasm overcomes accuracy. Errors beyond number. It is indeed an Avro Anson the Lysander you talk about is suspended immediately above it - painted black - with an access ladder. The mosquito is a bomber-type converted to target towing - the Shackleton was for maritime patrol and not a bomber and the Victor was the last of the V bombers and not the predecessor of the Vulcan. And at 12:44 you can't see an aircraft "in person" - you can only see a person in-person.

[@Karelwolfpup]

nice, wish I had the time and money to do this sort of thing, did it every summer as a kid *wistful sigh* been inside a concorde at East Fortune, not too far away from the "Secret bunker", amazed at the walls of analogue switches that seemed to be all over the cockpit. Just amazing.

[@koberko]

Do you plan to visit any one of those shows? I'm thinking about going on July 13-14; It's a weekend before I plan to go on holiday, and plane for London is going from town not far from place where I plan to stay for vacation; So I go to show, and get back just in time to get pick up by my wife and to on vacation :D I just have to convince buddy of mine to go with me, and my wife that this is actually a good idea. ;)

[@Rich60flix]

Hi Jingles, I refueled a Vulcan on Guam in 1972. I was at Andersen AFB at the time. Cool looking aircraft.

[@mooneyes2k478]

The RR Olympus Marine gas turbine isn't the Bristol Olympus 'generic' jet engine, which in turn is emphatically NOT the RR 593 Afterburning jet engine. So, in essence, no. Your ships weren't powered by that engine.

[@koberko]

Is there any similar air shows in UK this year? Now I'm soooooo sorry I didn't know about this one! And I'm basically looking for a good excuse to get to UK, and if I manage to get a look at this beauties; even better!

[@Shejtz]

Long time I've been there at duxford. My dad used to drive all the way there just to show me the airshow with the spitfires when we were on holiday in England :)

[@Jaden2977]

I've been there and it was really cool seeing all the tanks and planes

[@gennehring1]

Love it Jingles! Had a B-29 here in Las Vegas a month back. Amazing. Thank you for these videos.

[@PerfectDeath4]

Alberta does produce its own crude oil which drives the prices down, taxes are pretty low as well, but the province is flat Canadian prairie with winds up to 118km/hr. Average wind speeds are around 60-80km/hr. =P

[@TokranInami]

Great video, Jingles! If i'm ever to visit Britain, i'll have to make sure to pay this awesome museum a visit!

[@SgtPattyson]

I'm going to Duxford for the Flying Legends show. Really looking forward to that.

[@1Scimetar]

There was a STG 44 Shtermgaver, the first ever assault rifle and the only one used in the Second World War. It was also where the AK got its basic format. PS, there's a U.S. aeronautics museum, filled with planes from both world wars (mostly American) with the addition of a concord outside, located in Seattle (western side of the state), Washington(way up in the north-western corner of the states south of Canada, known commonly as the lower 48, for those who aren't familiar with US geography).

[@ghost122gun]

It is nice to see how you love aircraft and see you

[@msncsf]

beautiful stuff :) if youre ever in NYC jingles you should take a tour of the USS Intrepid its an air and space museum. Retired WW2 carrier and all with some crazy history behind it . they have a SR71 on the flight deck which is definetly worth a sight.

[@Eisenhammer78]

By watching all that beautiful planes, the Tornado is the real beauty for me. Very nice footage, as always! BR from Germany

[@cadinstormlord]

Jingles, I have watched the Vulcan fly irl, at the Dawlish air show a few years back, boy was it amazing

[@ITS4390]

the Real Memphis Belle is over here in the states in a museum. has been since it's crew became the first to ever complete a full tour. they brought the crew home for a big promotion tour across the country as well as the Belle herself.

[@davidpeters6536]

The Lightening (built and designed by English Electric) was in service until 1990, and you look old enough to have seen a Vulcan fly as they flew until the mid 80s.

[@MrMil0o]

This was really cool to watch. I wish some day I get the chance to visit an airshow, thanks jingles.

[@Screamingtilltheend]

I actually live quite close to duxford, it's only like a 10/20 minute drive from where I live and I we able to see most of the airshow from my flat, I've still sadly never been

[@jamesbaird1149]

omg, my great grandfather's flight instructor, flew in the memphis bell at 1 point of the bomber's life :) amazing vid jingles :)

[@Toadsinthehole99]

Nice video, Jingles.You should go to RIAT, at RAF Fairford. They have hundreds of planes, from WW2 era to modern day fighters. I saw the Vulcan there 2 years ago: I was about 100m from the runway as it was taking off and it's the loudest thing I have ever heard!!

[@fetlix]

Haha, theres a charm in the way that Jingles sometimes says the wrong name on the aircraft, just as in the tank videos when you always say the wrong number. the effect of waking up early

[@thunderbird1100]

Glad someone else pointed this out, because I thought the same when looking at it. Being American and all, a good friend of mine has an SKS, and it's a fun rifle to shoot. Shoots 7.62x39 (same as AK-47) which he usually gets for about 40-50 cents per round.

[@hennessyblues4576]

I maybe wrong, but I heard and read somewhere that the hurricane was actually a better fighter then the spitfire. its just they made for spitfires then hurricanes and it was more publicized. I thought I read somewhere that the hurricane actually got more kills then the spitfire, I could be wrong tho because it was a while back.
