The Harrier Lift off was so moving I shed manly tears of joy.

[@PointyHairedJedi]

Really enjoying these Jingles, I hope we get to see a Buccaneer at some point!

[@SGTBlackmore]

Good stuff. I know we are a bit out of the way down here in the Southwest but we are well worth a visit! If you like this and you like Tanks its worth remembering that the Tank Museum Bovington is only a 45 min drive at most from the Fleet Air Arm Museum, now imagine that for a weekend break............

[@FelixIsMyName]

Jingles, thank you so, so, so ,so much for uploading this. I was lucky enough to go on Concorde, G-BOAF ,which was the last British built Concorde and is now housed in the original Concorde hanger, at Filton Bristol. Due to one of my 6th form teachers having his wife work for BA, I was able to get my ticket at 10% of the face price, which worked out at £890 in 1998. This was my 18th birthday present from my parents and to celebrate getting very high exam results from the course I was studying at the time. With my 6.4 (196cm) frame, I found things a little snug in Concorde, but nothing in this world could beat the thrill of take off in Concorde. Due to the air temp at high altitude in the summer, I was in a flight that managed 59,000ft and Mach 2.2. I will never forget the experience of going on Concorde and I feel so privileged that my very first flight in a fixed wing aircraft, was on board what I see as the greatest ever non military aircraft. I would strongly recommend anyone going to see the flagship Concorde, G-BOAC at Manchester airport if you ever get the chance, or going to see the two French Concordes in Toulouse, where they actually use ground power to power the Air France Concorde up and they demonstrate the lowering and raising of the nose and visor, as well as moving the control surfaces of the aircraft. This is the only place in the world you can see a Concorde powered up in this manner. There is hope one day they will be able/allowed to do high speed taxi runs on special events at the airport. The Concorde in your video Jingles, was fondly called "Old Smokey" as the development engines used in this research aircraft were very smokey and even the preproduction Concorde based at Duxford, was smokey compared to the final production engines found in the aircraft that entered service. One question for you Jingles, which you don't have to answer, but what did you do job wise in the Royal Navy? Again thank you for the time and effort you spend in making such enjoyable and informative videos like this. Kindest regards, Dan (aka FelixIsMyName in War Thunder is No.1 Squadron)

[@zzamfren]

Jingles, If you are ever in Florida you may want to visit the US naval aviation museum in Pensacola, I think you would enjoy it.

[@JohnDoe-zb8it]

Jingles, you've done it again. People are willing to crack each others skull open over which country has bigger... Well, you know the drill :) I suppose, you could upload half an hour of black screen with no sound whatsoever and people would still find a topic to argue and insult each other over. P.S. Technically, "Fairey Delta" in FAA Museum is BAC.221. FD.2 is in Cosford.

[@CiaGuy]

hi jingles, i just wanted to say your visits to all these amazing places are some of favorite videos you put up, even though i watch all of them, i just love the amount of research/knowledge you put into each video, and its a very nice change from world of tanks/ War thunder, thank you. -Theragingnoob

[@mikebull1972]

Thanks very much for the mention guys! Mike, The Barracuda Project

[@edfrancis4741]

np, hope it raised some funds for the project mike

[@ericsachs9666]

With an addon to the Hawker Hunter story, we used them in Rhodesia (now Zimbabawe). The pilots were legendary in their ability to hit any target. A South African Newspaper stated that the pilots could hit a metal dustbin in a jungle clearing. In answer to that No.4 squadron presented a metal dustbin to No.1 squadron that then promptly stuck it out on the practice field and did just that with only a single burst form a hunter flown by Richard Bland OC at a speed of approximately 720Kmh

[@gordonburns6721]

The droop-snoop... the forerunner of Concorde! Magic, and "just routine!"

[@pjlehtim]

Absolutely love the added history bits in this vid!

[@vladimirbogface4639]

I love how the presenter quickly adds "they're both British" when talking about the pilots of the swordfish delta.

[@rvail136]

@TheMightyJingles haven't been a big fan of yours does a while. However, I do appreciate very much your series of videos of the fleet air arm museum. So thanks for doing this series.

[@Reddrum101]

this makes we want to go to the National Naval Aviation Museum, here in pensacola. also i was near EGLIN AFB and got too see some of the F35s doing training flights they are a bit louder than the f-18s from around the navy base

[@ppj0241]

Great Episode, Mighty One! Love the museum visits!

[@starguy321]

Just realised that when I hear planes doing the attack drills every once in a while down here in Plymouth, they're Hawker Hunters. That's a cool thing to know

[@ThePrybra07]

That loudness of jets the raw power plus the smell is awesome idmyou have never been to ain airshow its a must

[@OkenWS]

The comment about the procurement of the Lightning II had me chuckling for about thirty seconds. However, I'm not sure if I was really laughing or trying not to sob!

[@finleycharlt]

Thanks jingles for the very informative entertaining museum walk......reminds me of when i went here:) (good times)

[@sgtbloodsplat]

Great video Jingles. Thank you for making this great informative videos on places some of us just can't visit.

[@gordonburns6721]

VIF-ing Vectoring In Flight... a unique way of not only escaping an attack, but turning a defensive position into an attacking position. Under attack - VIF - Fire! Enemy downed! Magic, and all British.

[@VideoGamerGuy]

Fun fact: When in the hover, the Harrier is 'steam powered'. No, really. Water is injected into the engines to give it better cooling, and allow the engine to operate at the higher thrust levels needed. The pilot only has 90 seconds of water on board, and hence can only ever hover for 90 seconds without the risk of overheating the engine!

[@gonewiththewind8072]

JANGELS YOU'RE A LEGEND AND I HOPE I MEET YOU ONE DAY!

[@warmachine747]

nice videos of the fleet air arm museam. also the westland wyvern in the museam is not a turboprop it is powred by the Rolls-Royce Eagle 22 24-cylinder H-block piston engine

[@mattchampagne1860]

Love the videos jingles always looking forward to your next upload

[@dogeycj6189]

Nicely edited video, jingles. Awesome.

[@dementedsheep98]

I've been there before such a great experience

[@sirblake4938]

vertical take-off, just WOW!

[@Neoeclectic]

Just a suggestion. The next time you do one of these videos please include text descriptions such as the name and designation of an aircraft. Sometimes it's difficult to make out when spoken.

[@mattthatcher9282]

Hi jingles, I have loves planes and tanks since I was about 2. I love ur vids and think they are the best. U learn loads and have a laugh at the same time. Please keep making vids from museums. I love them. Thanks for making my 2013 :)

[@TheTraakon]

Love this series. Thanks Jingles.

[@lefr33man]

20:41 we appear to have the same ministry of defense in france. See ? we are not that different after all :D

[@notagoodsitrep]

We also have the same Defence-based organisation in the US. We just call it the Department of Defense instead. Still as incompetent however.

[@lefr33man]

Jimmy Burkhalter Come on, don't be so American. The country with the best army will indeed eventually rule because that is the way it works (unfortunately), but it does not automatically "deserve" it.

[@lefr33man]

notagoodsitrep UR A POLITICS FIGHT

[@notagoodsitrep]

notagoodsitrep waited. The internetz above him blinked and sparked out of the air. There were retards having politics fights in the interwebs. He didn’t see them, but had expected them now for years. His replies and PM's to Cernel Joson were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway. notagoodsitrep was a Space Forum Lurker for fourteen years. When he was young he watched the threads and he said to dad “I want to be on the top comments daddy.” Dad said “No! You will BE KILL BY INTERNET FIGHTS” There was a time when he believed him. Then as he got oldered he stopped. But now in the comment section of the KZbin he knew there were arguments. Arguments about politics. “This is Joson” the radio crackered. “You must fight the arguments!” So notagudsitrp gotted his downvote rifle and blew up the wall. “HE GOING TO STATE HIS OPINIONS TO US” said the internet lolbertarian “I will PM hate messages at him” said the anarchist and it fired the rocket missiles. notagoodsitrep replied at him and tried to blew him up. But then the ceiling fell and they were banned from thread and not able to discuss politics. “No! I must belittle and cite bad sources to the internet fights” he shouted The radio said “No, notagoodsitrep . You are the political internet fights” And then notagoodsitrep was the political internet fights

[@lefr33man]

HAHAHAHA

[@EmperorCheed]

GOD DAMN you Jingles you tease, i want MOARR!

[@JimWarp93]

Awesome video! Thanks mighty Jingles!

[@LongTimeAgoNL]

Love these museum visits! Jingles, got a question, if you have time/money and interest in visiting the Dutch National Military Museum opening in Oktober 2014 let us know in one of your videos because these museum trips of yours are incredible and I learn a lot from them. Information here: www.nmm.nl/ It contains Dutch and International aircraft, tanks, equipment, gear, etc. I think everyone could learn from it, maybe even you! If you DO plan on coming to the Netherlands to see the opening of the museum I can be your transport ofcourse, because I also tend to be there when the museum opens.

[@santiagomachado7378]

I like it how the Fairey Delta's nose section actually looks like the nose of a real swordfish :O

[@LastOrderProductions]

That was amazing can't wait to see more

[@Weesel71]

Decent tour, mate. Not sure what your day job is, but tour guide is a possibility. :)

[@stormwell]

Love the Hunter. Flown by the Royal Navy and Swiss Air Force until the early 1990s (first flew 40 years earlier), still in service in the Lebanese Air Force. US Navy hires contractors to fly Hunters for anti-cruise missile drills for its warships.

[@thomasmacken9721]

The Wyvern you were looking at was the piston engine version, as the turbine engine was'nt ready in time for flight ops

[@khyehickey]

Morning Jingles, did you sleep in this morning....this was uploaded after sunrise ;-)

[@billfarnham1592]

I have a friend who was one of the first for USAF pilots assigned to the F35. He did fly F16s, but loves the F35.

[@tomo9992]

Great video jingles!

[@kanie1979]

Nice video Jingles... Keep up the good work

[@liammanator]

Fantastic video jingles really enjoyed it. The format is spot on even if you done regular videos about different aircraft/tanks that would be fine by me !!! Now for a slight rant at who ever was responsible for mothballing/selling the Harrier. They really do need a kick in the knackers. To have it replaced by the lightning 2 / JSF is just two fingers up at brilliant design and common sense. That aircraft defies logic. I agree that Harrier airframes were getting tired and they needed updating but the design was more than sound and the money spent on procuring the JSF should have been spent making a Harrier 2. Rant over.

[@johnhargreaves3620]

Jingles; I worked on two Harrier prototypes P1127 & P1154 have they got an 1154 at Yeovil the P1154 I believe was the supersonic version but the engine development was cancelled due to budget cuts I am not sure it was a long time ago and it may have been a third prototype which was the proposed supersonic version. Regards JohnH

[@calumknight9178]

Ha heard chobham mentioned there would that be the very same chobham that makes tank radios for the us, worked on the air refueling system for the uk (not sure about anyone else) etc. Used to work for them :D

[@makalu69]

Awesome! Thanks Jingles...

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

The way i see it, the longer it takes for the f35 to reach service, the better. It is an incredibly expensive, overweight, slow, unnecessary aircraft. If it's gonna replace all the ground attackers it will need a big wingspan and low stall speed, but it needs the opposite to be able to perform V.T.O.L and the small wingspan coupled with the heavily underpowered airframe makes it a fighter that's too slow to be good at that and an attacker that can't go slow enough to be good at that.

[@MichalSoukup1995]

Lets hope that RN will chuse the catobar version in the end, its better...

[@DaFlyingStrawberry]

MichalSoukup1995 let's hope they choose to abandon the project, but that's highly unlikely since they've put too much effort, time and money into it. Even if they wanted to back out they couldn't because they've gone past the point of no return.

[@gsylass]

I hope they do jettison the F35, it's an expensive joke... Of course we will end up with two aircraft carriers with nothing to fly off them(!)

[@lapeciq]

Jingles I dont know if know but due to those Harrier vector throst - nozzles this aircraft can fly backwards as well, ofcource its absolutely impractical in real combat

[@lundholm4]

I love these videos! Please go to the Imperial War museum or other ones.

[@woodmanvictory]

About the harrier. I had heard they are loud as fuck. And the vents are to help keep the planes balance as it takes off vertically.

[@NitsuaAsuka]

Yeah they are pretty damn loud. I believe (may be wrong) that the harrier was originally designed to be a short take off small jet fighter, where you don't need much room, and can hide them amongst bushes. I saw one in my home town (I'm from England) flying at an air show and they demonstrated this jet they had it hovering about a few feet above the beach about a few feet away from a man made garden style cliff and the pier. When flying you could switch the vent's so they faced forwards to rapidly decelerate the plane if they had enemy on their tail to get in front and then shoot them to shit. But when they were built the RAF and Navy were unsure of them and when Falkland's kicked off they had no choice after the war they loved them.

[@maffman2001]

that was great, thanks Jingles.

[@bjmccann1]

Jingles, why is there a Dalek in the Fleet Air Museum? It's in the background in the room where the Barracuda is being restored.

[@kierandavies2319]

Joking they're very interesting!

[@justahappyfellow]

Really enjoy these museum visits. They are great! Would love to donate to the restoration project, but sadly I can't buy/transfer money on the internet yet. :/

[@frosty3693]

The Comcorde was actually louder than the Harrier at takeoff. The TBF Avenger is not exactly quiet either among it's peers.

[@y0Milan]

ive been here its fantastic

[@sw96]

Wow the info about the Hawker Hunter has raised one very important question, when are we going to get it in War Thunder :D

[@Fighting_G00SE]

Jingles how excited are you for this plane in war thunder? I personally have been on the hype train for a loooong time

[@pipss2669]

Nice Vids Jingles! You should become a Professional Documentary Guy/Dude/bloke. I currently serve with the Swiss Air Force( As a Militia-Member,like 4 Weeks a Year), so it's nice to see your mentioning of the Hunter, which is a Legend in the SAF. They flew them up until 1994! (Armed with AIM-9 and AGM-65 Maverik Missiles as Ground Attackers). Also, the Swiss BF 109's fought briefly against ze Nazis during 1940. Apparently, they claimed around 5 to 7 Greman Planes for the loss of one 109 of their own. So far the only Time the SAF got into Combat.

[@pipss2669]

Sadly that's true. American P-51 also Shot down 2 Swiss D-3800( Locally built French MS.406 Fighter) The P-51 Pilots didn't recognize the Planes because they were hoplessely obsolete by that time, so they thought the D-3800's must be German.

[@Gobboh]

thank you jingles for those museum videos, they are always very interesting but one thing i'd like to know, are you planning on visiting museums where Planes of other nations than england are displayed? :P

[@TheTfrules]

Look out Jingles, the BBC is going to get you!

[@Lrenx]

I do love these videos jingles, keep them up ! :)

[@thisislesbomaya]

this is such a cool museum one of the ones i still want to see is the russian tank museam that has one of the only maus in the world

[@deividaskabisaitis2365]

Yeah though I highly doubt that Jingles is going to fly to Russia for that :P

[@Myerfire1]

Deividas Kabišaitis You dont seem to understand. They have a Maus.

[@deividaskabisaitis2365]

You don't seem to understand. It's in Russia. I mean this is from their webpage (This is their English version BTW):" Access*: restricted military area" "Access to Military-historical Sites is necessary for all foreign and Russian visitors." "WARNING * Any attempts of the citizens of NO Russian Federation (including former-USSR) to visit museum with the Russian visitors could be qualified as the UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS. The violator could be accused in the ESPIONAGE. In all halls there're the video-camera control and the FSB (former KGB) officials. Any attempts to leave your travel agent representative and to visit the next military instantiation area could be qualified as the unauthorized access too. ** Please, read carefully this information for the model makers and journalists. The Russian military officials DO NOT LIKE the model makers (the regular violators of the museum rules) Russian tank museum rules let make the USUAL NON-PROFESSIONAL photo- or VIDEO camera with YOU and the VEHICLE as the background ONLY. Camera is qualified as PROFESSIONAL with any glass (non-plastic) lens more that 10 mm diameter. Usage the non-authorized or non-specializing travel agency for the tank museum tour could be the reason why you can not visit the military museum Any attempt to HIDE your model maker photo- (video-) aim could be the reason of your withdraw from your current and other military museums Check the CATEGORY of your video- or photo- camera before to order the tour. You have to inform the museum administration about the journalist aim of your visiting such as the publishing in the newspaper or magazines. Any violations of those rules could be the subjects of the International judgment. The administration of the museum has the right to qualify the technical filming as the usual filming and let to pass the vehicle border in the case of the visitor does inform in advance the administration about his aim and will write the "thank words" for the museum officials. Thank you." So ya know - Russia :D P.S. I mean no offense to any Russians here. I'm just showing that you guys are bloody strict :D

[@jonathansteadman7935]

The Handley Page 115 looks like one of those 'luftwaffe 46' designs. Then you mention it's the result of a German designer 👍

[@adrianlarkins7259]

About 10 years ago I visited the museum with an ex WW2 FAA commander, Ken Firth, then aged about 85. He had proof with him to show he was the genuine article and by that I do not mean just the tie. To my utter disgust he had to pay the full OAP entrance fee. He should have been welcomed as an honoured guest. He didn't seem to care but I was so upset I wrote to the Museum. I never received a reply. Ken has since gone on to fly his Swordfish permanently.

[@Blackshark876]

Great video

[@acecsgo4631]

I have seen a harrier do a vertical takeoff and landing in person and its REALLY LOUD HOLY CRAP

[@BizzLeVrai]

we have the same problem in canada with the f 25. The cost as more than double.

[@Isaac_howell]

I'm 99% sure I saw a harrier hovering above an airfield in France a couple of years back, I can't see what else it could have been

[@AdurianJ]

Jingles the Concorde isn't a Delta it's a Double Delta :) Something pioneered by the Swedish Draken :)

[@mattiasnorman1450]

The Swedish airforce pilots are also learned to land on motorways to refuel and rearm in case of war

[@JB-fk3bt]

Brilliant!

[@LibraDeer]

The story of the F-35's development has got me worried :(. It's such a fantastic looking aircraft. Not quite the Raptor but lovely none the less.

[@winbot1234]

My Dad went to school with the chap who invented the engine for the Harrier.

[@Happynostalgia]

At the uss intrepid in ny they let sit in the cockpit and passenger department in the concord

[@YesNo-qr4id]

Thank you

[@WhyamIstillwatchingyoutube]

GJ Mr.BoJingles. Hey you dont have to say sorry to anyone,they have a choice. I enjoy your videos and watch every dam one of them. Some people just dont take the time to understand costs of equipment and the efforts you put into these reviews etc. Its not like your in hollywood and directing the museum. Your doing us a favor and its appreciated by many.

[@StigsEstoianCousin]

Hunter wasnt INTRODUCED into service in 1951. It happened in 1956. In 1951 the first flight took place.

[@thesweatleaf]

At 1:30 one of the crew members states that a Wyvern pilot was the only man in history to eject from underwater and survive. This isn't true -- an F-8 pilot went over the end once and ejected from underwater. His ejection didn't take him out of the water, but it did get him out of the cockpit and he made it to the surface under his own power. I believe I got this story from Crusader!.

[@Aeronaut1975]

19:57 What?! The Harrier was NEVER operated by the Luftwaffe. They had a few test rides, but never bought or operated them. Only the UK, USA, Spain, Italy, India and Thailand have ever operated them. As of Nov 2019, they are still in service with the USMC, Italian Navy and Spanish Navy.

[@OjiOtaku]

Good stuff! Thanks Again!

[@boatkiller538]

An American A-7 pilot also ejected from his aircraft from underwater also.

[@TechFeedMe]

WHYY JINGLES? I was about to sleep, it's nearly 3:00 am

[@stuartdrinnan8218]

Lets get this right, VR 137 is a pre production model (never flown) fitted with a Rolls Royce Eagle 22 piston engine. All production Wyverns, had Armstrong Siddeley Python turboprop engines, double mambas powered fairy gannets.

[@amitainbar]

They were also flown by the Jordinian airforce.

[@amitainbar]

The hunters i mean.

[@denislazar8703]

Very nice! Great cideo like always. And in livestream yesterday, what do you think about s QB Maus?

[@Nitrus5]

A planed landed on a highway around here not to long ago

[@DukeDark]

Dear Jingles the German Luftwaffe never had Harriers

[@_Wiseguy7]

Jingles the Malaysian Air Force never operated the Hawker Hunter. Singapore did.

[@thevideo112]

At 10:50, they basically took a paper airplane and made it a real thing. Thats cool.

[@Tired_Sloth]

Jingles, the Saab Draken means "The Dragon" in swedish so I guess it'd be easier to call it that:P

[@abacs21]

How loud is this Harrier exactly? How does it compare to the Mig-21Bis? I've seen one of those bad boys and I experienced the earth-shattering sound they emit, so how loud is the Harrier compared to it?

[@littlepenguin8589]

I kept thinking you saying "Yoloton". XD

[@ThaFunkster100]

Very interesting.

[@TheBrewjo]

The restoration for the Fairy Barracuda looked impossible until I saw the roll of masking tape....

[@RJLbwb]

You got to love it when the English go on about Americans being self obsessed after that Very British speed record newsreel video.

[@mohikan2226]

The hunter is very vulcanesque looking.

[@johannesgrondahl1894]

the Saab 35 draken was e really good aircraft.
