Lancaster bomber start up, take off & landing (incredible sound) 🇬🇧

[@kennyc388]

My Uncle Billy from Oregon flew these for the RAF at the age of 19/20 yrs. He was one nice man and a big influence on me growing up. He passed away at age 71 after retiring to Mexico. Miss you Billy, you were a real man.

[@bobskimaxx]

I live in London and I thank your uncle Billy for helping the RAF in there hour of need. We will help the USA in all they do. Peace to one and all.

[@backiniowaswab4106]

I've only heard a Spitfire in flight one time, and its sound was unique. The Mustang, although it used the Packard built Merlin engine, for some reason or other, sounded different. The British Merlin had more of a rumble while the Mustang's had that steady whine.

[@lordElpus10]

That fact this big old bird is still flying is a testament to the skill, dedication and love of the crew that cherish her!

[@CobraEmergency]

Absolutely. The Lancaster remains in service with the Royal Air Force's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and therefore has a home and a lot of love at an active and very busy RAF base.

[@carolinependleton8445]

Something about the Lancaster and spitfire that gives me goosebumps,love those planes.

[@kevinscheifele6833]

I have the Lanc and Spitfire tattoo's on me. Going to see the Canadian Lanc fly this June. Fr Hamilton to Goderich. Cheers from Canada.

[@mikemedland7088]

My uncle was a pilot who went down in a Lancaster above France in the summer of 1944. He was 21. The other crew members bailed out and returned to England in various ways. I remember seeing him once when I was 3. I'm 83 now. How sad.

[@CobraEmergency]

My condolences to you and your family. Such a young age, too, 21. So much life ahead of him. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@HarmonRAB-hp4nk]

I'm so lucky to live 3/4 of mile away from 1 of the only 2 flying lancasters left. and it fly's every week around Hamilton... gives me goosebumps every tie I hear those 4 rolls royce merlin's...

as a Dutchman it's not so common to see one of these legends in person... let alone see it fly. i've had the privilege to see this beauty in flight 9 times so far and it never gets old. chill and goosebumps everytime those 4 Merlins thunder overhead. amazing!

[@BLzBob.7268]

There is not sound like four RR Merlin engines. It is the sound of British pride. Not many alive today will have experienced the sound of 20 Lancs taking off one after another, but those that did must have been awestruck. And to think many of the crews were in thier early 20's. Love and respect to them all. 🙏

My Brother was at RAF Coningsby maintaining City Of Lincoln.till he retired, he now works at East Kirby getting NX611 Just Jane into airworthy condition it's a 10 year renovation job.

[@crusherbmx]

My Uncle was on the front lines in WW2, my Dad, who is about 13 years younger and a big plane freak, wanted to go the a Lancaster a couple years ago when there was one in towm, so he asked his brother if he wanted to go with him, he said "No, I saw enough Lancasters in the war and I really don't want to see one again." Fair statement from a veteran, personally, though I was in awe of this beast.

[@CobraEmergency]

I can understand that! Some veterans get nostalgic, others don't want anything to do with them, and I can see why. Not a nice time! At least future generations can learn from seeing these old machines. I certainly find them awe-inspiring.

[@commonsensicle2231]

My dad would be 96 now sadly passed away a couple of years ago said one off the best moments he ever had was in 1944 in Lincoln when he saw all these Lancasters taking off from all the Lincolnshire air bases and meeting up with each other on there way to Germany he said the sky was full off them that moment stayed with him for ever he joined the Raf himself in 1945 just short off the war ending rip dad

[@oldbatwit5102]

I lived on the South Coast and seeing Spitfires, Hurricanes, was almost common there. One afternoon there was a similar sound but much bigger. I rushed into the garden and in the sky were two Lancasters! I remember thinking 'Take this in. You will never see it again'.

[@SensSuck]

I had the one in Hamilton, Canada fly over me once. I couldn’t believe how loud it was. An incredible thing to see and hear and FEEL

[@ruth.greening]

Spitfire and Lancaster birds. Beautiful.

[@heronimousbrapson863]

There is a Canadian-built Lancaster bomber in Nanton, Alberta, which has been restored to the point where its engines can be started up. It is truly a phenomenal experience when they're revved to full throttle. The association which restored it wants to make it flyable again, which is a bit of a problem as Nanton doesn't have an air field.

[@janmargaret7972]

My mum worked at Avro, Yeadon building the Lancaster. She would rivet the outer skins on to the fuselage. Her partner, Nelly was on the inside of the plane holding a 'dolly' and checking that the rivet had gone in properly and if it was wrong she would knock it back out. They worked high up on scaffolding. Mum said it was the best job she ever had and the money was good. The hangers where they were built had a flat roof which was painted green to look like a field from the air and they made paper mache cows and moved them around every so often in case the Germans flew over.

[@jonathandilk5722]

I was lucky enough to have a day out in lincolnshire and visited Just Jane a Lancaster at the local museum and had a taxi run and the opportunity to sit in the cockpit and the rear gun position. I had to clamber over the internal superstructure to gain access to rear bubble and then shoehorn myself into the seat and close the blast doors behind me. An emotional moment for me and one I will never forget. The ever so brave crews what they gave to protect us. I could only imagine combat conditions freezing cold, deafening noise, vibrations, and the fact your parachute was the other side of the doors in an emergency. So so brave god bless all who gave everything for us.

[@BlackSheepUSMC]

Oddly, instead of sounding like four Spitfires on takeoff, the Lanc sounds like four Mustangs!

[@backiniowaswab4106]

That's actually possible. The Mustang used Merlin engines that were manufactured by Packard, and their quality was such that they could be interchanged with those made by Rolls-Royce. As for the different sound, I think you're on to something. I've only seen a Spitfire in flght once, but have seen Mustangs a couple of times. They do sound different. The Spitfire had more of a rumble to it while the Mustang had more of a whine.

Wow! ❤🇬🇧 I have always loved the Spitfire and the Lancaster!! Both amazing and beautiful machines that have endured the many years since WW2!! I almost forgot how huge the Avro Lancaster is!! I try to imagine seeing hundreds of them up in the sky heading out towards a bombing mission and trying to think what those brave and courageous young men were thinking about... I know that the RAF bombed strictly at night...because of the huge losses from daylight bombing.. But I also know that nighttime bombing wasn't as good as daylight... Both times were tough and losses were high and in my opinion unacceptable.. I know that the Allies had to win the Air War.. it was something that had to be done! But I always stop and think about what those young men who died during the bombing raids...daylight or nighttime would have done with their lives? What would they have came up with to help humanity or the world?? Sadly we will never ever know!!!
