Fleet Air Arm Museum with The Mighty Jingles Part 2

We're back at the Fleet Air Arm Museum at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton and this time we've got the Curator of Aircraft showing us around some of the restoration work the museum is undertaking, as well as looking around the Battle of the Atlantic, World War 2 and Korean War exhibits.

For the benefit of everyone complaining about the sound quality, yes, there is a lot of background noise. There should be, the musuem's a noisy place and it's situated on a working airfield. This video was shot using a www.rodemic.com/mics/videomicpro and a www.canon.co.uk/For_Home/Product_Finder/Camcorders/High_Definition_HD/LEGRIA_HF_G25/ Imagine what it would have sounded like without the £1000 of recording equipment I was using.

[@Inyourfafner]

Don't worry jingles, the likes/dislikes section of the video tells you everything you need to know about our appreciation.

[@Qardo]

Well the thing people are trying to figure out. For a museum that is closed for that day when you showed up. They have everything on just for a hand full of people. I don't believe that needed everything on just for you guys unless by request.

[@edfrancis4741]

Qardo Yeah they decided to open up for the day, as a museum they depend on keeping the place open as much as possible, so there is some background sound. - but hey ho its a learning game

[@Weuffel]

Question, Would it be possible to use that microphone as handheld? Then you could still get a pan of the aircraft/vehicles and still get full focused quality sound of Your voice. Love the videos :)

[@Relents]

you should put subtitles in the video jingles :)

[@Iceman7711]

Lets take a moment to remember the deceased in this clip. RIP Jingles Mighty Beard. 2005-2013 "It sure did give one hell of a ride" ~ Mrs. Mighty Jingles~

[@battleaxeviking241]

Man I'm getting somewhat nostalgic watching these Fleet Air Arm museum videos. I went there as a kid with my family, my grandfather was particularly emotional as he was enlisted with the FAA at HMS Daedalus among other places during the war as an Engineer. I really must go back and visit again.

[@MrBandholm]

To be honest, these museum visits are some of your best videos! The sound is not always perfect, but your questions and comments to the people who are employed in the museums are really nice, and you let them speak out (and correct you if needed) that is something that a lot of professional television team could learn a lot from

[@milkyjoemoto]

What a perfect end to a perfect Christmas. Thank you jingles.

[@plitterusmaximus]

Its good to know people are working so diligently to preserve history

[@maffman2001]

That was fantastic, thanks jingles! I went to this museum as a boy with my father, it seems to have grown a great deal. love these videos. Thank you very much.

[@GenDercius]

I know I said it in the last vid, but that is an amazing museum. I am mighty jealous.

[@ultimaknight1986]

Great video Jingles as always. Loved every minute of it and can't wait for the rest.

[@ThatIsDebatable]

Those Sea Furies are unbelievable - there's an airworthy one in South Africa (operated by their Air Force) for a long time which can still be seen at airshows (alongside the Shackleton) which is just a great experience. Epic videos these are!

[@jamienevill1768]

I'm glad you mentioned the Sea Fury. After the Hurricane, it's my favourite piston engined aircraft.

[@Flyingmanticore]

Loving these videos about fleet air arm as my dad was part of their field gun run teams in the mid 70's

[@Esa826]

Pure awesome Mr Jingles. I really much enjoy these museum visit. These videos are best after Mingles With Jingles with is really awesome!

[@waraidako]

For anyone who's curious, at 07:43 the japanese katakana most likely read "ノルナ" (noruna) which translates as "don't ride" but in context would mean "don't sit here". You can see it written on various japanese planes along with terms like "フムナ" (fumuna) "サワルナ" (sawaruna) and "オスナ" (osuna) meaning "don't step here", "don't touch this" and "don't push this" respectively.

[@edfrancis4741]

cheers fella il pass that on

[@madmax2069]

Wow, just wow. Absolutely amazing.

[@Nathan-ng1jt]

Just found this wonderful virtual tour thank you. Must get down there soon with my son.

[@The10thPathfinder]

upload part 3 ASAP please, your museum videos are just awesome!!!

[@makalu69]

Thanks Jingles - looking forward to part III.

[@Ethrenmax5]

I so nice seeing a Hawker Seafurry again. Been about 10 years since the one at our small airport was moved. Had Australian markings and was still flying.

[@mickles1975]

These are great, Jingles. Thanks.

[@n8dross]

Great video. you can see the passion and love he has to preserve history. Keep up the good work!

[@Malkuth-Gaming]

Wow.. Thats some beautiful aircraft right there.

[@curteverson120]

Love this is all I will not see thanks your the best Curt Everson.

[@HadesunderworlDomain]

Another great video jingles keep up the good work

[@Faroff10]

[@OneGenericName]

Awesome experience to watch. Keep 'um coming!

[@et6666666]

Ty mr Jingles for the history lessons.

[@selkiemaine]

Wow. Just wow. Amazing stuff. Great presentation.

[@Jack-Wall]

Next time I am in the UK, I'll be spending a full day at the F.A.M. Great videos.

[@mateosiguenza8347]

Keep making videos u are progresing very much and don't listen to the people who think your videos are boring because to me your videos are good also your teaching me about planes . Good videos .

[@celticchris18881]

Love these museum visits of yours Jingles, it makes your channel so different from every other gaming channel. Keep up the good work :-)

[@GaMeZaHoY]

this is fantastic

[@tHePyROpiGeOn]

I came to your page for the War Thunder and World of Tanks videos, but I'm staying for the knowledge :) Great video, thank you very much Jingles!

[@nrares21]

Jingles ignore the complaining whinners... The video was great and i could hear everything just fine and really nice ! Thank you for all the amazing things you put on this channel , thank you for the tours you give us , thank you for the trips you make for us and thank you for being awesome ! Keep up the good work and have a nice holiday and new year !

[@GrassMunchers]

I love how he says hes not going to post many videos, but hes still posting one every day xD

[@astechsrule]

This is really cool. thanks Jingles for sharing. :)

[@SirTrollful]

great video and good too see the historic flight team at HMAS albatross (Nowra) getting a mention.

[@martinkaufmann5205]

Great Video!

[@mcstarkhell]

thanks for sharing to us this nice museum that a lot of people may not be able to visit :)

[@malandar5218]

Nice Vid, I have always liked fighters and bombers, When I was in the Navy I worked on F/A-18s with two years in the corrosion shop so I got to paint and strip and restore aircraft and parts, so restoration of classic aircraft is an interest I have. I am always interested in the history of fighters and bombers, especially those from WWII I always liked that at least one mig-15 was shot down by an F4u Corsair pilot and another was shot down by an A-1 Skyraider pilot.

[@troopieeeeee]

great stuff

[@axeljohansson5026]

Poor old man in the beginning, he seemed so nervous I was cracking tears.

[@OriGummie]

Awesome!

[@robertwalker6684]

part 1 was great

[@TrueCanad1an]

The the people who is complain about background noise. Shut your pie hole. Your getting a free museum and commentary from the comfort of your own home. Jingles I would like to thank you for making these museum video's. Your giving me the opportunity to see think that I probably have to wait a long time to see. .

[@oodyswe]

MOAR!

[@piritskenyer]

Watching this video makes me want to work there! Or maybe at Saumur, as long as there is tank or aircraft restoration involved :)

[@CrazyChemistPL]

Grumman Martlet apparently IS the F4F. In other words it IS the Wildcat. Just an early version that was named Martlet in UK.

[@MrDgwphotos]

The RN FAA used the term Martlet up through the FM-1, initially calling the FM-1 the Martlet V, then switching to Wildcat V. The FM-2 was known as the Wildcat VI in RN FAA service.

[@vostokcosomonaut5205]

@soaringtractor The wildcats were crap no matter which engine was in them.

[@johnholt9399]

It’s also the oldest F 4 in the world

[@JHorsti]

Did anybody watch the Doctor Who Christmas Special? God, I cried buckets at the end.

[@thomasb429]

what does it have to do with this video though?

[@The_MightyJingles]

***** Wait until you see what's in the restoration hall, you might be surprised.

[@john__lemon]

BohemianEagle Heard you mention the warplane heritage museum in canada. I live literally beside that place and have given the big beautiful firefly there a hug. What a beautiful plane it is. You should really come by the museum if you get a chance! What an amazing collection it is.

[@L-058]

BohemianEagle So jingles, you watch Doctor Who? Thats awesome.

[@zenntrox8695]

awesome awesome awesome!

[@Retrocidal]

It's cool you get into it ilk probably play more unless I start getting knocked out after one billets in the tails as I fly away from them any ways It's amazing so few of these left glad they have a few it's weird how some thing can almost fade away well good info good video

[@SlyTy98]

This would be like heaven for me. I think someone needs to make a museum for like e very generation of war utilities. Would be awesome.

[@alexmonroe3111]

Jingles the reno air races are on this year and you should come. I know that it would be a lot of money to the USA and watch it but it's totally worth it because when do you get to see p-51s fly 15m off the deck at over 804 km. I live in Reno Nevada to and my dad flys

[@BlackHawk264]

Awesome

[@effisjens1776]

The corsair is my favorite ww2 naval aircraft

[@paintballinJJ]

Jingles I don't know if you noticed but the Curator of Aircraft has been shown on the History Channel's Show dogfights a few times, and it was relatively popular in the U.S. Not sure about the U.K. though.

[@TheBiotrashman]

Man I wish I was in England. I would love to go tho this place.

[@Lo0lZer]

nice man !!!!

[@carolinetran2355]

Love the corsair . It was allwase my favorite plane of all time best aircraft in the pacific in ww2 and the

[@CEUOTC]

Awesome video again Jingles (The beard!). Totally spell bound by the aircraft, and during the video my brain filled in the lack of beard,

[@PMGF]

Jingles do they have a Westland Wyvern? Thats one of my all time favorites!

[@sineupp]

20:10 omfg the banshees are attacking!! run for your life Jingles!

[@ThirtykNinetyfour94]

The Okha reminds me of the prototype manned version of the Buzz Bomb.

[@DesertRat1231]

The chemical test patch on the Corsair is interesting.

[@mathew345wil1]

nice vid

[@Arran2815]

Awesome video, seemed a tad hard to hear you folks though.

[@Shinigamiusmc]

Jingles, I do believe the color scheme on the F4F was the French color scheme but since the fall of france those Wildcats (Martlets) went to England and were flown without repainting

[@jcgamer892]

Now that I think of it, the Seafury can be consider to be the british cousin of the American Douglas A-1 Skyraider (similar aircraft, if you think about it)

[@NocFA]

Awww, you still have the beard in this video.

[@coldiceman20]

Only partial I believe, that's why.

[@NocFA]

Jay Lodge I know, I'm just being sarcasticaly upset because I miss it. I'm not seriously stating that I thought he re-grew it.

[@edfrancis4741]

Hey guys, glad your enjoying, its a great museum and has a superb collection, well worth a visit if your in the area. re the background noise, we were going to film on a closed day, but they decided to open on the last minute as they depend on folks attending to keep going, cant begrudge them that. it is also a very busy airport next door, with helicopters and such taking off, and many display videos and interactive videos, which is the background sound. if anyone has a free boom mike post it to jingles im sure he would like one. Re: the Sea fury, an excellent plane, top speed was 780 with the Napier, and 740 with the Centaurus engines, 21ms climb rate and a roll of 100 dg a second, and armed with 4 x mk5 hispanos. if inc in WT at tier 16 it would arguably be the best plane they have thats non jet. a few are still flying today ()Hawker Seafury AWESOME SOUND !!! - the sounds - oooh Also yes he removed the beard and went for a re-shoot on some bits, the fury scared his beard off, its just that good! Remember if you like this stuff, p;lease give the museum as little as a pound, they depend on good will to keep going and providing great planes for you to see

[@PapaBrejj]

awwww really jingles, now i have to stay up another half a hour :)

[@ericbouchard7547]

Jingles! I notice that that Martlet only has machine gun ports for a single pair of inner .50 cals (there were originally two pairs of 'inner' guns, and upon the FAA's request, the extra pair was added about halfway down the length of the wing). Did you ask about/learn about why that (the lack of two pairs of inboard .50s, or at least the ports for them) is/was?

[@jw-pp3dm]

the bloke you was talking to was in the programme called dogfights and he was in the episode of how the british sunk the bismarck!!!!

[@granskare]

in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, is the Shearwater air museum - this museum has a stringbag which I was able to see closely...perhaps they have some info about this airplane. thanks

[@Viaton]

I hope that Gajin/Warthunder will also watch this video and give the UK tech tree also a Navy aircraft line. I only noticed 22 minutes in that Jingles is Beardless.

[@scootywooty2205]

ill probably get a smartass answer from someone, but how do you capture a kamikaze plane?

[@CobaltSlayer42]

Get one that hasn't been kamikaze'd yet :)

[@gonewiththewind8072]

scott wooters you shooting it with a net gun

[@barrettus]

It's taken 4 years but here's your smart ass answer. WITH A SHIP! You didn't say the plane needed to be intact.

[@CrossAnchors]

I know you're in RNAS Museum Yeovilton, but being in the restoration area, I thought you might be interested in a piece of news about a Battle of Britain Spitfire that has been painstakingly restored at the Aviation Museum Dumfries S.W. Scotland, the "Loch Doon" Spitfire P7540, has been lovingly restored, as best they can with a shortage of genuine Spitfire parts, but, it is now the only Battle of Britain Spitfire, that you as a visitor can sit in, the Museum has a website, have a look see, and come along during the summer, they also have a Royal Navy Gannet XL497 among many other Aircraft

[@LexieAssassin]

Curious why it's so loud their if they're closed... o.O?

[@JohnDoe-zb8it]

Two-tone green camo on British Martlet? That's new to me.

[@BNRmatt]

I love the story about the Sea Furies getting the advantage over the MiG jets. Were any of the Royal Navy's WWII era armored carriers preserved? I'm playing a lot of War in the Pacific and I love those tough little bastards.

[@alecblunden8615]

Unfortunately not.

[@davidhope3322]

You need to find a way to Hamilton to see Warplane Heritage's show in June; see the Firefly, and better yet the Lancaster in the air.

[@tedman0674]

the background noise is sooo loud D:

[@SPatrickRoss]

Love the video Jingles. BTW: I recently had an opportunity to visit the Aerospace museum here in Ottawa. They had a Mig 15 next to an F-86, and I couldn't help but be struck by how small the Russian plane is. That combined with your DCC video, has me wondering. Did the Russians recruit small people as tankers and pilots?

[@obliviousoni0_081]

hey jingles just to give you a little update :) the 3rd fairy firefly located in Nowra NSW Australia at HMAS Albatross is no longer flying and only used for viewing purposes in the fleet air arms museum located on the base :)

[@obliviousoni0_081]

theirs also a crashed fairy fire fly of the coast of Callala Bay NSW just out of Nowra, it crashed landed into the ocean in the 1950s during a training exercise, i myself have dived it the wrecks in about 5m deep water very clear to see

[@obliviousoni0_081]

the fairy fire fly located at HMAS albatross now sits next to the gorgeous hawker sea fury

[@abcdefg12296]

I would love to see some of these planes, like the fairey's, in war thunder

[@macparoo]

I've been doing some research on the corsair and I can't find any information about the chemical warning patch can someone please give me a link or information it will be greatly appreciated

[@feltonfolder420]

Hey there. Better late then never lol. Its liquid vesicant detector paint or a version of it. basically it changes color when it meets certain chemicals you'll see it on jeep hoods as well. Took me about 30 minutes of asking Google different questions from :"paint that peels when it hits chemicals" too "reactive paint". Lol So there you go lol

[@stonedtouched]

Thank you! Great video with awesome info...I love history and learned a lot! Get sum RN Fleet Air Arm!!! =D

[@grogglepus]

The reason why the first plane was painted so weirdly was because it was a type of camouflage. Think of it this way, if you are a enemy looking at the sky you can see a plane that is colored brown or whatnot. Now paint that plane that closest color blue to match the sky and the plane is now less noticeable, same goes for the top part that is green, but you are an enemy pilot looking down from above. It just serves as a type of camo. That is my take on it from i know.

[@oldyeller1111]

So more or less, the Warthunder Exhibits.

[@thomasbrinch6813]

As an Aircraft maintenance technician, I just want to point out to you, that your guide in the leather jacket was incorrect in both the previous video, and this one. In video number one he says the Wyvern, that he is presenting was powered by a turboprop. However its clear that it was the rolls-royce powered prototype on display, not the one fitted with the turbine. In this video, he says the tabs on the wings were to counter torque roll. In fact, its a spoilertab, the corsair prototype had the problem, that the ailerons would stall before the wing did. This left the pilot without any aileron control during a low speed stall (giving the Corsair some very bad stall characteristics) this was fixed by adding this spoilertab that made the wing stall before the ailerons did. Otherwise great vid, feel free to fact check me, and if im incorrect. fine if not please edit* like you normally do, so people are teached something correct :D

[@edfrancis4741]

yeah, i get all amounts of shit to the brain in front of the camera, as i actually really dont like being there, so screw up, from now on anything i do with jingles il leave him in the camera side of things - ed

[@thomasbrinch6813]

Im sorry if my comment came on snarky or harsh, it really wasnt my intention. We all make mistakes, it happens all the time. Thats how we learn new things. I just wanted to help the two of you, make it an even better watch. I really enjoy the videos, and look forward to future ones :)

[@Duffy997]

Do you plan on visiting the new improved imperial war museum in London during summer of 2014? They're supposed to have completely improved it in time for the 100 year anniversary of ww1, with new weapons,vechiles and equipment??

[@SacreDro]

MIG baby.

[@Twirlyhead]

The later Mk Fireflys were much faster again than the speed quoted here - a good plane. Fighter bomber/attack fighter concept not dissimilar to mutirole aircraft of today.

[@briansnyder5144]

B-Man- How do we support this museum? I give you great cheers for bringing awareness to such awesome history. Proud of my British brothers!

[@edfrancis4741]

Go th the website and donate a tiny amount to the barracuda, they will appreciate that a lot

[@SGTBlackmore]

The Fleet Air Arm Museum is a very modern and interactive place with lots of displays that include sound, the place is basically when all is said and done a collection of converted hangers so the sound tends to echo. On a busy day with hundreds of kids running around you can barely hear yourself think, and certainly any filming would have been impossible. Give the guy a break, this ain't Lucasfilm.

[@edfrancis4741]

well said...and we dont include Jar Jar either :p

[@SGTBlackmore]

We can all be thankful for that :)

[@Hokum_Paints]

Jingles, to help, the Manchester Science and Industry Museum has a Baka/Ohka which looks much darker than the one in your video. Worth telling the FAA about?

[@judekelly8298]

The wildcat (plane) colour scheme looked like some sort of river camouflage.

[@TheCrazyjay13]

my great grandad flew one of them i see the pictures of his one

[@MrHavoc313]

lol Jingles looks so funny with is shaved face he should keep that look

[@momaden7688]

Is there a part 1 jingles or not this is part 2
