Fleet Air Arm Museum with The Mighty Jingles. Part 1

[@BDeVizio]

This is the first video I ever saw Eddie in, can't believe its 9 years ago. Rest in Peace Eddie.

[@bigsteel1991]

jingles if you ever come to the good ole US of A, this guy right here is a young army vet who would LOVE to take you to wright patterson Air Force museum in dayton ohio, just north of me. its absolutely massive and my grandfather worked in the restoration hangars and the memphis belle is being restored as we speak!

[@The_MightyJingles]

See you there next year. ;)

[@michaelballack3405]

Jingles, you haven't aged a day. It took me quite a while to notice this video was 7 years old.

[@GenDercius]

I gotta say, that is one of the nicest museum's I've ever seen - the workshop in particular looks gorgeous. Can't wait to see the rest of the vids. Also, Reginald has balls of steel.

[@Coxy002605]

Buccaneer! HNNNNG! I almost pissed my pants with excitement when I got to sit in XX889 in all her Gulf War pink glory at Kemble several years ago. My favourite jet, closely followed by the Sea Vixen. Both look particularly fantastic in Fleet Air Arm livery. Hopefully, in the future, we'll see a Bucc do more than just a fast taxi run at an airshow, and see the Vix continue to wow the crowds.

[@waveman99]

Awesome, Jingles. Can't wait to see the rest. Thanks.

[@calcinatoir]

These series are great for those of us not fortunate enough to be able to visit the museums ourselves. Cheers Jingles

[@theyedmeister6981]

Seven years later, and nothing changed about Jingles. Keep on, and have a good life, good Sir.

[@ppj0241]

Love the museum visits, Jingles! Keep them coming!

[@alexfmiles]

Absolutely love it. Every thought for forming a TV production company and tour the world making military videos. So interesting to hear all the stories behind each aircraft. Looking forward to the next one

[@thomasedgerley1152]

Jingles in all your museum vids you always leave us on these epic cliffhangers!

[@xiaobaozha]

Great reminder of my Father's Day trip to the museum earlier in the year. Looking forward to part 2.

[@ignacioolivera5919]

We (the argentinians) declared war on the brits with WW2 gear, what a shame... Still respect our and yours veterans, it was a pretty tough war. It's a pleasure (to me as an argentinian) being mentioned by you. Keep up the good videos

[@The_MightyJingles]

Got to respect the skill and bravery of those Argentine pilots.

[@n.m.s7552]

Jingles, can you do more historical videos like this excellent one! It's nice to see you on camera and I love your historical commentary in these and in your world of warship videos where you give historical information. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from America!

[@raiderrob672]

Thanks for the field trip Jingles. say thank you to Eddie and Ed for me as well. I am very much looking forward to your next video.

[@bombaya85]

You guys are so lucky, I think I can speak for the majority of your audience, when I say that we really appreciate you uploading and sharing these moments in your life with us:) Have a good day sir!

[@nutterbirdmoto]

You one of the few ppl that have a gaming channel n mix gaming with vlogging and show things as interesting as you, kepe it up dawg

[@CactusforceX]

love these museum visits, great for us who can't get there ourselves!

[@andrewwebb6908]

9yrs after you posted it I am still getting this as a recommendation....

[@Iceman7711]

i wanna see Jingles in Top Gear's reasonably priced car and see how fast he can run a lap.

[@Tuttle86]

I like vids that start with Jingles in a car on the way to somewhere. Always entertaining.

[@DuggersGaming]

My Grandad served in the Fleet Air Arm in Salon i believe it was called, repairing American aircraft, he never really spoke about the war he was awarded medals for gallantry, one of the last things he ever said to me before he died because of an old shrapnel wound was 'I'd trade it all for my mates'. I enjoy looking at these machines as much as next guy but we must never forget how hellish war is, once again thanks Jingles for the fantastic video :)

[@The_MightyJingles]

Sounds like he served in Ceylon, or modern-day Sri Lanka.

[@DuggersGaming]

Ceylon yes thats right damn my knowledge ;)

[@VioSquared]

Holy fuck! The Barracuda is just scraps and bits of metal! That will be a marvelous thing to see once it is fully restored.

[@Maddog3060]

This was a great video, Jingles. It's always amazing to see how much both sides of the Atlantic influenced one another in various ways, and even more amazing to see the illustrious history of the Royal Navy up close and personal... Well, as much as one can be through a KZbin video. I look forward to your future videos!

[@MatteV2]

If only Jingles name was Edd. Ed, Edd and Eddie.

[@FriedrichVonSchmidt]

Awesome job Jingles! I love these museum videos looking forward to the next parts

[@ooeyb]

Glad you went there and hope you enjoyed it. It's a pretty good museum.

[@finexp]

Its an OBV Like !!! JINGELS, i wish u where my history teacher back in school. Struck by ADHD and other disorders, ive been lagging attention, u Really make something tick inside my brain. Thank u. And DO know that the mingles and the museum trips are what i enjoy the most..

[@asswashing8663]

Hello Jingles! I used to be a Leopard 2A6M (kampfpanzer) commander. We had testing different tanks armies such as Russia and Britain use in today's time. The challenger was actually much taller than the leopard so it would be much harder to target. A tactic that we did use was to encircle the tank, and because of the leopards speed (80-95 kph) it would be much harder for the challenger to take us into its sight. The time the challengers turret moved to our position we wold have blown the engine compartment.

[@tinglydingle]

Apart from at 10:50 where you detail some magical invisible Army Harriers, great video. I live in Ilchester which is about 3 miles from Yeovilton, and I was so tempted to try and meet you in the car park. My dad actually works there as a Navy pilot, and it was so weird seeing somewhere I used to go all the time as a child on video like this. I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to say about my great uncle's Sea Harrier FRS1 that's on the ski ramp display!

[@tinglydingle]

Also, RNAS Culdrose is in Cornwall not Scotland. Used to live there too ;)

[@spikeguy33]

Now all you need is an Edd.

[@danielb4265]

Really enjoyable to watch these trips you make, and also learning and intresting. Cant wait for the other parts !

[@PMMM9]

From Wikipedia: Samuel Franklin Cowdery (later known as Samuel Franklin Cody; 6 March 1867 - 7 August 1913, born Davenport, Iowa, USA[1]) was a Wild West showman and early pioneer of manned flight. He is most famous for his work on the large kites known as Cody War-Kites, that were used by the British in World War I as a smaller alternative to balloons for artillery spotting. He was also the first man to fly an aeroplane in Britain, on 16 October 1908.[2][3] A flamboyant showman, he was often confused with Buffalo Bill Cody,[4] whose surname he took when young.

[@stevep4131]

I noticed that too 😄

[@makalu69]

Thanks for this Jingles (and Eddy and Ed) - another fine piece of videoingness.

[@halvo11]

An air museum near me is restoring an FM-2 wildcat that crashed in lake michigan during takeoff and landing training. Always have loved naval aircraft and I am thinking of donating to my museum and this one.

[@russelljohnson9533]

Thanks for doing stuff like this - Especially for those who can't attend for one reason or another :-)

[@AtemiRaven]

I sure do love the museum visits you do :D. Wish you'd do more good sir.

[@TheSid42]

You showing the Harrier reminded me of of the US Marines and how they know the definition of if it ain't broken then don't fix it because they still use Harriers today and they still use variants if the Heuy helicopter and I love that about them

[@grammarcommunist820]

the venom is the new type of huey yea?

[@TheSid42]

Yeah, with a new engine and improved avionics

[@grammarcommunist820]

TheSid42 didnt they make a new cobra to?

[@TheSid42]

Yeah, its call the viper pretty much the same thing as the Heuy new engine and avionics

[@lordofdunvegan6924]

As always...Jingles vedeos are interesting and so entertaining. Keep up the great work! Christopher.

[@turriffterror7933]

Fascinating, looking forward to the next instalment.

[@OneGenericName]

Good stuff Jingles. Looking forward to the next chapter.

[@NudududuHACKS]

This summer I hope to take a vacation to this museum and to the bovington museum on the way. I hope i get to meet ya there if you go

[@McFlyT28]

I have been looking forward to this for awhile now. Great job Jingles!

[@Bounty_Hunter84]

This year was at the Luftwaffe museum in Berlin. The Paris air show. And the Boeing factory and museum in Seattle must check this place out. And jingles keep doing the road trips your entertaining and informative could listen to you all day. And for the record guys im not Either Ed or Eddie thankfully....... i mean unfortunately :)

[@chrismsimracing]

Fascinating stiff-thanks for the tour, really enjoyed that!!!!

[@jacktanner4948]

Fantastic museum been there for a visit once and its just as good as I remembered, the Royal Navy Air days at Yeovilton are excellent too I highly recommend you visit one! Just as a side note RNAS Culdrose where the harriers are used for deck handing is in Cornwall not Scotland!

[@greekfire3244]

I wish I could go see museums like this, but I can't because I'm an amurican and the best I've been to is the Indiana military museum, and the Air Force museum in Ohio, I barely remember the Ohio museum because I was around 9 years old at the time, I forget things easily. But these museum visit videos allow me to see what is at the museums I can't go to. So, thank you Jingles!

[@warhawk9566]

I hope I haven't said this before. But Jingles it always surprises me how old you look, Your voice makes me think at the oldest you're in your early thirties in most of your videos then I watch these and it looks like you're in your mid 50's

[@The_MightyJingles]

We'll split the difference and say I'm in my mid-40s.

[@warhawk9566]

Makes sense

[@billyharley8295]

I used to work on the american version of the harrier, AV8-B. had to call my wife in from the other room when you started showing off the sea harrier

[@nathanhodgkiss9114]

I love you so much Jingles! by far the most down to earth youtuber out there! Love from Ireland :]

[@sn3prwarrior]

10:50 Did Jingles really just say "Army Harrier"? That's just uncalled for 😂.

[@Papzt89]

Epic. Thank you Jingles and Eddie for another great Video

[@crash7215]

i went there a few months ago and they got some really cool stuff there especially the test concorde which you can go inside

[@frans42000]

As an American, the start of this video caused me to flinch. "You are going to get into a head on crash!" Then I realized that I am not the center of the world and it went away. : )

[@GnomeB0y]

ROFL

[@jamienevill1768]

Thanks for this video. Also, thanks for mentioning the flying club in Wolverhampton. It's obviously not there any more, but some details are available at the Tettenhall Transport and Heritage Centre, also in Wolverhampton. Perhaps worth a visit and a future video?

[@shadytanker5524]

Fantastic video Jungles and Eddie!

[@Brown195]

If you ever get the chance, you should definitely go to the German Tank Museum. I went earlier this year and I had an amazing time.

[@Highflyer25800]

I love all military vehicles from any country. (I'm from america) I love your videos keep up the good work.

[@Restosiii]

I'm glad I've been refreshing your channel a lot today :D

[@Volaths]

I visited here a while ago, it was a fantastic day out, I'm even considering going again.

[@MinecraftTempest]

If you ever come to Melbourne, Australia go to the RAAF museum at RAAF base Williams, Point Cook. It has an awesome display!

[@alang6402]

The S.27 was built at the workshop on at Leysdown, near Shellbeach on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent as it was their only workshop at the time. Short opened a facility in Belfast in 1936 and moved from its main base at Rochester in Kent to Belfast in 1948.

[@neleabels]

Great museum tour. Thank you very much for the video.

[@mickles1975]

That was great. We want MOAR! Please.

[@justahappyfellow]

Extremely nice planes and stuff. Looking forward to the future videos. :)

[@LuX7251]

we have Seakings in Search and Rescue in norway. last year one of them got enigne problems during a rescue mission and crashlanded in the mountain up in northern norway. took weeks, but there came a Russian Mi26 and lifted it down

[@TheMatangiBoys]

i have been here about 14 times because my dad use to take me ti the fleet air arm a lot when i was younger

[@desalator33]

Planes are so cool. You take a giant hunk of metal, strap engines on it, and throw it into the air and it flies.

[@andrepuppi2325]

aopdaoprkhopjarophjoajkrporhkojkarophoaerjhoajrhopjmrhipmhn what a name

[@NoStupidZone1]

aopdaoprkhopjarophjoajkrporhkojkarophoaerjhoajrhopjmrhipmhn technically it kinda does. it just has to be a specially shaped metal and all those other details

[@Imbahi]

André Puppi LOL

[@Hitperson]

I thought that was the Kerbal space program way.

[@DerKopfsammler666]

Hitperson It is, if youre willing to kill someone with it. lol

[@J4CKAL05]

Been to the FAAM many times and would strongly encourage anyone who is interesting in aviation to go, it's great :)

[@2DFlightSim]

Just want to point out RNAS Culdrose is in Cornwall, the other end of the UK :)

[@kernowboy137]

2DFlightSim too right - next he'll claim that you can see the nuclear subs at Faslane in Cornwall😂

[@elliotsamuel6910]

That vampire in restoration at the end and the typhoon? I think. They are definitely worth a donation come guys help restore some awesomeness to the plane world :D

[@fjmb79]

If been looking forward to this vid , Thx for uploading , Jingles and ofcourse EDDIE !!!!!!!!

[@nightlightabcd]

OMG, everyone's driving on the side of the road! Great video and informative to.

[@kenrice6085]

Thanks I have enjoyed your videos. Your getting better with each one you make.

[@jsublett8871]

OMG how have I not seen this. This is amazing

[@decoryder]

Just in case anyone is confused, when Jingles talks about 'Buffalo Bill' - the person he's referencing is actually Samuel Franklin Cody, not William Frederick Cody - who was the actual Buffalo Bill. Easy mistake to make, since in appearance they look almost identical, and have very similar names. The actual Buffalo Bill had no interest in manned flight whatsoever:) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Franklin_Cody

[@neleabels]

And he didn't present his ideas in 1993. ;) But that's an easy mistake to make in free talk.

[@Ghost00117]

HOLY FUCK! Bombed a Zeppelin, landed behind enemy lines, repaired his aircraft, and still made it back? That's solid!

[@Legitimerad_Tandlakare]

I'm really looking forward to the other parts

[@jamesa702]

Visited the US Navy Air Museum in Pensacola FL. Its wonderful but no cool wind tunnel display.. Thanks for the vid1

[@ap-mechanics]

I love historical vehicle Museum, good tour Jingles!, can´t wait for the next part :-)

[@DJRaevenHeart]

Dammit man... Why do you always have to have the cool shit on the side of the pond I can't get to??? I can't wait til you get the other vids uploaded.

[@lowlevelRAF]

RNAS Culdrose in Scotland? Cornwall :)! Sea Harriers FRS.1's in Falklands had the Ferranti Blue Fox Radar, The Sea Harrier FA2 had the upgraded Blue Vixen later, paired with the AIM-120, at one point of the best radar and weapons systems in Europe! Fly Navy :) Great video tour Jiggles, have got to get now to Yeovilton again soon!

[@AdurianJ]

The Supermarine walrus was used as a film platform for one of the first flight simulators in the world. A cameraman stood in the front and filmed different mock attacks on ships at different speeds. This was then displayed for trainees and they had to pick the right time to drop a torpedo !

[@AdurianJ]

I believe this was for swordfish pilots.

[@zondas11]

ahhh i need more! love the museum visits!

[@dasmorbo3508]

Actually Jingles, in the Osprey Publishing (I guess you know them) books "Battle for the Falklands, Pts. 1-3" it says that at least one of the infamous Exocet anti-ship missiles was decoyed by an Sea King and screamed past between the helo at 30ft of hight and the sea. Pucker factor 10...

[@MajorMuffins13]

I really like museums, you learn so much from them. I haven't been to a museum in a long time and I want to visit some military museums like the Fleet Air museum and the WW2 museum (I don't know the specific name :D) alas, I am only 14 and I don't have the money on me to go, I can go with my family but they find it boring...except my mum, shes awesome.

[@russwoodward8251]

Lots of good history here. Thanks.

[@jeffwiltshire]

I joined HMS Antrim when she returned from down south. Interesting to see the Wessex...

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

Culdrose in Scotland!!! The last time I looked it was near to Helston in Cornwall, only the other end of the country!!

[@woofdogmeow]

I like the wind tunnel displays I wonder if the US museums have these? I can't wait to see a sea spitfire or the sea vixen.

[@lupulul]

Is it only me who loves Jingles' museum videos?

[@akaneko2165]

Fantastic operation and thats only room one.

[@sevadzerushau]

I will never get used to you guys driving on the left side of the road. XD

[@aserna32]

Awesome vid, LOVE Military and Conflict History.

[@grunthunt5428]

Great video Jingles! can't wait to see the rest of the videos :)

[@Wasabiking11]

I think there is something like 6-7 harriers there. It's a awesome place if you ever get the chance go.

[@fighterace2688]

That area with the small wind tunnels is a great idea.

[@tridentHalo]

I'm only 20 mins from fleet air arm museum and Haynes Motor museum both incredible

[@NSNorfolk]

Another great video. I almost lost it when you showed the "novel," "Laugh with the Air Force." Here in the states, we call them the "Air Scouts."

[@Chaser617]

Just got to the part about the Sea Harrier sinking the supply trawler. I noticed that one was upgraded to FRS.2 standard. Falklands era FRS.1s had a 'sharper' nose (for want of a better term). If I remember right all FRS.1s still in service with the FAA got the FRS.2 upgrade before they were retired.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Yeah, this one had been upgraded after the war but before being given to the museum.

[@Chaser617]

BohemianEagle Sorry if it sounded like I was nit-picking Jingles. Sometimes I can't turn of teacher mode. The FRS.2 (or is it properly called F/A.2?) had the Blue Vixen radar didn't it and the ability to fire AiM-120C Slammers?

[@The_MightyJingles]

***** I believe so, yes. I think the Tornado ADV had the AMRAAMs too.

[@Chaser617]

BohemianEagle I knew the ADV had the Skyflash wasn't sure the ADV had been upgraded witht he Slammers, leave it to you Brits to actually make something work that we never could. Even at its best with the AiM-7M varient the Sparrow only had a 33% hit rate for us I think the 'Flash averaged somewhere around 75%
