Jingles start a kick starter for you to go all over the world and tour all of the air/space museum!!!

[@LongTimeAgoNL]

I would give a few bucks for him to do that! And Welcome him in Holland!

[@DFX2KX]

LongTimeAgo As would I, save the holland part, I'm from they US. Jingles! As someone who doesn't get to go to Airshows/museums at all, these videos are great.

[@malachiazariah7237]

Pro trick: you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching loads of movies lately.

I served in the US Navy from 89-97 onboard Spruance class destroyers USS Obannon and USS Thorn as a sonarman. Got to cross deck to the HMS Broadsword during a Baltic Cruise in 92. The difference between the 2 Navys are to numerous, but 2 things I will not forget was the lack of cold drink and if you are going to Attack the Royal Navy do it at Tea Time. Fair winds and Following seas.....

[@MrBlueBurd0451]

Surprises me that they didn't mention this tidbit: When a plane touches down, he actually pushes the throttle to maximum. That's because, if he misses the arrestor wires, he doesn't have enough distance to stop, and he's moving very slowly. So he needs to accelerate again to take off again and come around for another pass. Missing the wires is called a 'bolter' by the way, and I don't know about RN practice, but in the USN, if you do that, you get a dunce cap equivalent over your seat in the briefing room, till the next guy 'bolters'.

[@Reggie6910]

Took my dad last year and he served on the aircraft carrier in 70's that this display is based on. HMS Ark Royal. he loved the display and spoke fondly of his time in the Navy (23yrs) sadly dad has "crossed the bar" , in conclusion well worth the visit.

[@Retrosicotte]

Seeing the images of the new carriers with the F35 at the end makes me shiver with delight. I was given the amazing oppurtunity to wonder around the first of those new 70,000 ton carriers in Rosyth while they were still being built last year. The scale is mind bogglingly epic to walk inside the real hanger of and imagine it in Royal Navy service soon. Absolutely amazing oppurtunity.

[@mpersad]

I think this might be...no it definitely is my favourite museum visit vid. I took my family to the FAA Museum some years ago and went on the "Carrier Experience" and can only endorse Jingles comments - it was awesome!

[@LongTimeAgoNL]

This is amazing. The Carrier Flight Deck experience. Whenever I am in England, I am DEFINETLY going there!

[@GirlyKat9001]

A SECOND Jingles video in ONE day? Jingles, you're spoiling us!!

[@piotrzaborowski4777]

The carrier experience is absolutely breathtaking as a child. I first visited the air arm museum when I was 6 and I genuinely believed that I had flown via helicopter onto an aircraft carrier away from the museum. However 10 years later I competed in the “flight-start challenge” in the museum and we had to get to the carrier deck, and rather than waiting for the tour, we simply walked through a “flying helicopter” full of small children. I’ve never felt so guilty in my life.

[@kamikazechickn]

"Could you please wait by the helicopter exit" jingles keeps walking

[@jastafan6937]

Hope to see this amazing musem some day, the most immersive museum ever!, cheers from France. I served aboard Porte-avions Foch and Clémenceau.

[@stephenchappell7512]

Best Postwar European carrier designs 👍

[@wulfone5961]

Yeah reminds me of Top Gun. That movie made the guys on the deck that worked on the planes look cooler than the actual pilots.

[@ry1459]

Hey Jingles, if you ever come to America, you should really go to the U.S.S. Hornet that is docked in Alameda, California. It's a World War 2 Aircraft Carrier that is explorable and is known to be haunted by sailors. It's an awesome place to come to if you're in the U.S.

[@remieguevremont8134]

My granddad was on the project that built the F-4's engine , really cool seeing the Brit plane

[@stephenchappell7512]

The Brit's put their own Rolls Royce Spey engine's inside instead of General Electric

[@jamespfp]

Especially cool, those "through bulkhead" fire hose connections.

[@TiberiusMaximus]

Jingles, I live in Fall River, Massachusetts where we have an incredible Navy collection. The Battleship USS Massachusetts (South Dakota Class) the submarine Lionfish (Gato Class), The Destroyer USS Kennedy, 2 PT Boats and an East German Missile Boat. We still use the Battleships guns for special occasions! When you are in the neighborhood as one Veteran to another you will always have a place to stay! The shell from the French Battleship Jean Bart is still on the USS Massachusetts where it hit the number 3 gun turret!

[@SuperCookiemonser]

Wow, jingles you are so lucky to have such a museum in the UK. It's hard to find a good museum in germany, and by this I mean a museum where they are not goign to tell you "these are evil warmachines and things, they are evil" The only good military museums in germany I know are Wilhemshaven and Munster. If you have the chance to visit them, you should go for it. Thank you for sharing this awesome expirience with us.

[@DaProfessorOfGaming]

i hav been there so many times and i am glad to see someone else is enjoying it

[@JimWarp93]

Thanks Jingles for this great video series - Please carry on creating awesome stuff like this!!!

[@FelixIsMyName]

Jingles, I've really enjoyed this series. Thank you for taking the time to make all your youtube videos.

[@firestarteronyoutube5542]

This whole tour.... the Carrier was stunning

[@MajorSebbaa]

You brits have the coolest, the best museums I have ever seen! Cheers for sharing this from Germany.

[@jacksonhudd3681]

I went to a cool plane trains and automobiles museum! In Germany it had two Concorde's on poles outside!! Do you know it's name please??

[@samjtripp]

I went here a few years ago and loved every moment!

[@sbryans123]

That was great. You have inspired me to record my visits to museums here in the US.

[@Sigmundzore]

Really good video. Thanks for the tour!

[@nuclearsharkattack]

Jingles -- well done! You have your channel down to a science, with the 'Mingles' episodes, these museum tours, and of course your ever-popular WoT Tank Reviews. Thumbs-up!

[@CptGabrielAngalos]

This video makes me want to go down and take a tour aboard old Lady Lex again, haven't been there in ages anyways. Thanks again for another great video Jingles!

[@LeodiAstoriaXIII]

11:28 There's a "FAP" work at the right side of the door!! So the word came from the Royal Navy, very educative video!

[@smidge146]

Going here next month, am very much looking forward to it!

[@ChizAfterHours]

Hey Jingles, I don't know how much you get to travel to the US but the first full week in June at the Reading Regional Airport in Reading, Pennsylvania is WWII Weekend. Its a big airshow and WWII living History with reenactments and villages and camp life. I've meet guys that come as Wehrmacht and really are German...and Russian guys reenacting as the Red Army. WWII Weekend is the largest WWII Gathering in the US...as in over all airshow and reenacting. Its very cool. I can get you more info if you're interested, I think you would love it!

[@OXYOXYOXY444]

simply outstanding , I only have watched this vid without the others and shall pass this on to my mates

[@gwiazdapioun2127]

FAA Museum should add a small poll to a ticket, asking "Have you been encouraged to visit the museum by the Mighty Jingles' video tour" that'd be left in a box at the exit, just to see how many people went there afterwards (I'm certainly going next time I'm in Britain).

[@YasumotoUS]

That was excellent. Thanks for sharing!

[@pocobuen]

fantastic video mate, great experience

[@waveman99]

This was great Jingles. Thanks.

[@robertbloch1063]

Thanks Jingles, loved the video. Just changed my holiday plans ;)

[@nitrowilz3014]

I remember going to the fleet air arm museum when I was six, still remember the day perfectly

[@rockymontana1]

How cooool is this ,I wish they had stuff like this around me,I'd be there all the time.

[@blueonblack83]

Thanks for sharing.

[@bakomusha]

One of these days I should record a visit to The March Field Air Museum in near by Perris Ca. I have been visiting it since before I could walk! They have done extensive remolding in the last few years, only making the place even better!

[@mikejulietkilo4167]

"Joined in the late 80's" You Sir, are a Derriere Rouge! Love the vid......I feel a need to revisit this place...Our RICE consoles only flashed like that when I was on watch.....I wonder why?

[@Bounty_Hunter84]

I enjoy these vids jingles you deserve every penny you get from youtube for the enjoyment you provide :-)

[@CrazyChemistPL]

Who would've guessed that FAP means First Aid Post... :)

[@Phalanx11]

Thank you WALTER. Could you imagine the phantoms chewing into those Skyhawks...

[@CmdPingu]

Waw. I love that museum! Its awesome!!

[@ClonesDream]

This brings back good 'ol memories of our school taking us to this exact museum on a trip, about 2 or 3 years ago. It was a amazing expierence. Wish I would of payed more attention. There was a little shol at the end of the museum tour and you could buy Airfix models. Got me self 2 of them. :D

[@Trusteft]

I served on a Knox and I have to say, this is way way more roomy lol. Although IIRC the radio room on the Knox was either larger or just more advanced. (mid 90's). The bridge too, way larger on the Knox. The "OPS room"...I guess it is the equivalent CIC. I miss my time there. Very good video, thank you Jingles.

[@Weesel71]

A great tour and it looks like a fantastic place to visit. Too many museums are "dead" in their exhibits, even museum ships. If a show like this is not possible, then at least the smell should be attempted. Just as you pointed out; smell is part of the overall experience.

[@Lofi.z34]

You guys are awesome!

[@EmilyGirlish]

Wow,amazing tour,i no have words for describe it.!!;D

[@bosspig746]

I went her when I was 7 and looking back now I don’t theink I fully appreciated what I was experienceing.

[@ScottRuggels]

The Fairey Gannet... world's Ugliest Airplane. Now I have been aboard carriers sucj as the Midway in San Diego and the One up in Alameda (Oakland California), but the "multi media" presentation of this is outstanding and gives a better odea of the work that carriers do. I do not think there is anything that matches this that I have heard of.

[@C0mmanderX]

i saw a Fairey Gannet down at the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, and i must say that thing is cool.

[@Paski303]

Best history classes after the shunning of the secondary school ones, thanks Jingles!

[@jamienevill1768]

Very impressive!

[@Siddich]

Jingles, every video you make is worth watching it ;-)

[@Theophilus7333]

Enjoyed the video as usual Jingles thank you. :) My dad was a pilot for the US Marines while I was growing up so I recognize our aircraft pretty easily, but not many of the ones you are sharing with us at this museum so these have been very educational for me. One of the things that caught my attention was the carrier "launch" of the F4. The silhouette of the launched plane looks more like an A4 than the F4. I may be seeing it poorly though, or it could be any number of RN aircraft I am unfamiliar with. I don't see upswept wings in the launch video they have projected on the wall. Thank you again for sharing!

[@budmeister]

Fire Party, sounds like a blast.

[@truemisto]

what a cute tour

[@SieraExtincion]

everytime when jingles says somerset or displays the name in the video i have to think about the summerset isles from the elderscrolls games :D

[@charlesbarbour2331]

Great video which does this museum justice. My daughter is very disappointed she didn't find out what you bought in the gift shop though!

[@spudface3948]

Going here tomorrow cant wait

[@Jpdt19]

Marvellous stuff Bemusing to see long haired Eddie from 10 years ago

[@mgomberg98]

That was cool I really enjoyed it

[@WhyamIstillwatchingyoutube]

GJ Mr.BoJingles...Thanks.

[@jiahuilai608]

wow, Eddie is so excited when he saw is post !

[@PurplePhantom04]

The F-4 Phantom is an impressive aircraft isn't it? I truly love it! I was very disappointed that the Luftwaffe retired theirs this year

[@PsychoFish13]

love these videos:)

[@TheIrtar]

Jingles, if you ever get the funds to hop across the pond, you should come check out the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Not only do we have a lot of old warbirds here, you can book to go up in one of them. It does get rather pricey though. Goes from $60 to go up in a Dakota to $2500 to up in the Lancaster bomber. If nothing more, the airshow we have you can watch the lot go up. We had a Mosquito and Me-262 come last year.

[@MiguelAbd]

This museum is awesome, I wished that mmy country had something like that

[@kroes1687]

Awesome experience :)

[@Happyh0b0]

great vid jingles. gotta love the F.A.P sign at 11:40 though

[@user-zv5mr1jf5d]

Nice video!!!!!

[@aragon991]

i'm surely going to visit this museum when i'm in England for the parkour rendevous

[@SGTBlackmore]

In the damage control section there used to be a huge red button on the wall with "do no push!" in big letters, cause everybody used to push it and that set off the guy with the water pipe and a load of sirens, The dummy used to tell you off for pushing the button. Shame they changed that.............

[@screwfaceyoda2224]

Mhm, oh well. Another nice video. Keep it up J.

[@_Wiseguy7]

Wow! that was awesome! But I couldn't stop giggling every time I saw the first aid post sign. :P

[@sundelight8230]

Amazing

[@sirkriskringle]

How that looked like a hole lot of fun :D, ty Jingles for shering you vids. :D SKK.

[@125proGamer]

You would like the Intrepid its an aircraft carrier that is now a museum in New York City it has planes from WW 2 and modern planes there is even a concorde there and a submarine that is also a museum. (A space shuttle and SR 71 are on the deck of the carrier)

[@irishcje1]

the uss lexington muesum is pretty kool ....it an aircraft carrier that dock in texas and you can walk almost all around in it and on it ....take about 4hrs or more to tour the whole thing

[@tinglydingle]

The number of "FAP" related posts is a great illustration of your viewer demographic. ;) I'm looking forward to seeing my grandfather's old Sea Harrier FRS1 on the ski ramp in the next video

[@Tempest808]

Nice to see you in your element on a ship Jingles :P

[@LordOfCinder85]

I have been standing somewhat close to F4`s and Tornados taking off and i can tell you, the afterburners are so loud that it rattles your brain and you dont hear yourself thinking anymore.

[@tahaomar4629]

awesome planes

[@Pcwarmachine]

Congrats on almost reaching 180k subscribers! I am still trying to get to 100 so I know it's a tough job to do what you have achieved. :)

[@coldershihtzu]

im sorry but I couldn't help but smile at F.A.P.. lol

[@Thordious]

Really enjoyed the flight deck experience, does make me sad at the state of the RN however.

[@liamhorn1150]

Just WOW WOW

[@lmaniac58]

Ahhhh Part 5 is blocked in country by the BBC over copyright even though there isn't anything about the BBC in Part 5 as I remember? Kind of annoyed by that, but it's been years since you first uploaded this video Jingles, and watching it today still puts a smile on my face, hearing you talk about the different planes and great detail ^^.

[@chickengaming5262]

Hope you went on the helicopter pilot sim there jingles!!! So wanna see him have a go at it :P

[@Mugdorna]

For anyone interested in reading about UK Carrier Ops I would highly recommend "Phoenix Sq: HMS Ark Royal" by Rowland White.

[@Nikoxion]

Damn right impressive!

[@artpaul8909]

The one thing that is not shown in the tour through the carrier is the multitude of cables running everywhere for the numerous systems and subsystems throughout warships. They sometimes create almost a sub real experience like something out of a sci fi horror movie.

[@SoanosBarcoded]

Great video, and very informative stuff. Any chance of getting all this into a playlist where they are all in one for easy access in the future? Must say that carrier experience was fairly impressive.

[@The_MightyJingles]

A playlist like kzbin.info/aero/PLSPT1I-KtyUFgaY08NChYa22sbuJNW_Ir ?

[@SoanosBarcoded]

Ahh, I see it now. I must be getting old... My eyes aren't how they used to be. Thank you. Love your videos btw. :)

[@TheAfterPein]

I know carriers are large vessels, but how large is one compared to the Iowa Class USS Wisconsin? The tour on that took my dad, my brother and I forever to walk... the interactive AA guns you could traverse were awesome as well!

[@granskare]

when I visited H MS EAGLE at Istanbul in 1958, we were able to wander amongst the Vampire jets....they were nice and small, and I think sweet :) and not long after, we went to the mess deck and had a cup of tea...will we get tea here? no, no tea :( that would have been it! btw, on Eagle we walked amongst guys in hammocks with toes sticking out :) but here, no hammocks or toes :)))

[@sandislo]

Good video, btw. nice camera :)

[@MiniatureGaming1]

That was cool
