It's great that you guys across the pond keep these old warbirds flying but please, please check your facts, the Mosquito's top speed was 360 mph at 19500 ft, not 280mph. I just wish we could get these sort of shows over here, but they are so heavily restricted now and expensive.

[@topcat073]

The B17 & B29 were great planes but the Lancaster & Mosquito were great and beautiful.

[@SuperEdge67]

Mosquito........one of greatest and most beautiful aircraft in history.

[@Andyb2379]

SuperEdge67 and all made from inferior wood

[@cf6282]

One of the most versatile aircraft in WWII. It started as a bomber but was just as good asa fighter and for ground attack. Beautiful machine.

[@hkja99]

The Lancaster is a beauty

[@superkjell]

The de Haviland Mosquito is probably the greatest aircraft ever made!

[@mike_hunt4783]

Agreed

[@jfc213]

not probably ?? my friend IS it could do it all ??? the A10S grand dad xxx

[@mustangj0hn]

Damn you guys are so lucky to have these old birds flying over there, God bless you all for keeping them flying.

[@EchoesoftheInfinite]

That Lancaster Bomber though!

[@MrDaiseymay]

STILL MENACING

[@Andyb2379]

I wish we could have a visit from them here in England. Be magnificent to see them all gracing our sky’s again.

[@LordKingPotato]

Mossy and Lancaster fly gracefully in true British fashion. I love the B25 and A-26 🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@alanjones6359]

Keep those old birds flying !!- my father flew in a Halifax ww2 -attached to a Canadian squadron flying from England - only Brit in aircraft was well looked after by the Canadians - thanks to you guys in canada !!!

[@bluesrocker91]

Alan Jones My grandfather used to drive the crews to and from their aircraft (and also doubled as an ambulance driver) on various bomber fields during the war. I wonder if they ever crossed paths.

[@susieq9801]

Alan Jones - My father flew Mossies - 410 RCAF. I was honoured to meet Russ Bannock from the 418 RCAF Squadron and, to my knowledge, one of if not THE most decorated Canadian airmen of the war. That was a few years ago (2012?) when the Mosquito (the only airworthy one at the time) was at the Hamilton, Ontario airshow. A humble, true gentleman. They had a special day for Mossie crews and their families the day before the show. Sadly my father had died before seeing that but a few who were there remembered him. I did shed a few tears seeing the flight of the Mynarski Lanc and the Mossie with 2 Spitfires and 2 Hawker Hurricanes since I never thought I would ever see a Mossie fly. I lost 4 cousins in WW2, one on convoy duty, one in France in the month after D-day and two in Holland. Thank you to YOUR father and all crews, Halifaxes, Wellingtons, Lancs, Spits, Hurricanes and others. Also thanks to the ground crews like Blues Man's grandfather. All were important. A great older book, if you can find it, is "Terror in the Starboard Seat" about a Mosquito crew, both funny and sad and written by a Canadian Mossie navigator about their true experiences. His pilot was a Jewish American who joined the RCAF.

[@BrainMigraine]

The engine sound & resonance these old birds make gives me goose bumps everytime I come back to watch this vid... Keep'em soaring boys!!! Beautiful works of art in my eyes.

[@joeledvinsson8882]

Got goosebumps when I saw that b-29 such a beautiful aircraft

[@MrDaiseymay]

And so far ahead in design--a glimpse of future Airliner's

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

its a huge plane

[@bigroy38]

Queen Fifi.

[@Locomattive8572]

Just need a Havoc, Sterling, Wellington and Halifax and you have most the Sucsessful allied bomber of WW2. Great show and thank you for filming it

[@CharmsDad]

Amazing. I didn’t know there were a flying Lancaster or Mosquito. Great to see all these historic aircraft. This must have been a spectacular airshow.

[@Locomattive8572]

There are two lancasters that can fly at the time of writing this. The one in the video was built and lives in Canada. The other still belongs to the Royal Airforce and is part of the battle.of Britain memorial flight. However there is a 3rd Lancaster called 'just Jain' based a East Kirby in Linconshire, England, it is able to do fast taxi and funds are being raised to get her back into the sky.

[@terrymcconville3659]

There is a beautiful Lanc in Nanton Alberta, doesn't fly but she is amazing to tour!

[@gryph01]

The Lanc, the Mosquito and the Canadian marked Mitchell are located at Canadian Warplane Heritage in Hamilton, Ontario. There are only 2 Lancs that can still fly. Our beloved Vera(VR A) and one in the UK.

[@UnknownPersononGoogle]

I love the way the Lancaster totally blocked out the sounds of the other bombers lol.

[@2snowgirl520]

Milton D , I love the sound of a Lancaster over any music, any day.

[@MrDaiseymay]

When 'VERA' flew to Britain. the year before, she and the RAF Lanc 'Thumper' , flew all over Britain at Air shows . THAT SOUND, TOGETHER, WAS DEAFENINGLY GORGEOUS.

[@MrPoet67]

Imagine back when, Hearing a full Squadron of these flying over head... What a roar it must of been.

[@MrDaiseymay]

Ask the Germans

[@cf6282]

Can you imagine the sound of a thousand bomber raid! And all the fighters escorting them.

[@johnosbourn8350]

AWSOME VIDEO!!!!!! WHAT A TREAT! Seeing all of those bombers together, was soo COOOOL!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!

[@7belowzero]

Brilliant! really enjoyed watching. Maybe I'm a little bias being English but that Mossie looked and sounded just fantastic and one of the few aircraft Hermann Goring feared.

[@astronomenov99]

in terms of cost in crew lives lost versus effective bombing the mosquito was the best. Compared to the B17 it had a similar bomb load over medium range.

[@richardharrold9736]

Yup. B17 load with a fifth of the crew at double the speed.

[@MrDaiseymay]

But fat-arse loved it also, he is attributed to have said, trust the British to make a beautiful aircraft , made by piano makers.

[@raymondperrault5821]

That's not entirely true. The B-17 would carry 4000lb on a Berlin mission, but could do 6000lb on a medium range mission. The mosquito was originally designed with a 2000lb capability in mind, but with modified, bulging bomb bay doors it could carry the 4000lb "cookie" bomb all the way to Berlin.

[@MrDaiseymay]

the operative words are carry, and comparatively, Besides, it depends on the mission. One important target ? use the Mosquito, several targets over a wider area---the B17.

[@goatflieg]

I was there... on the taxiway south of the crowd line apron, waiting to board the YAM B-25 Yankee Warrior when it landed after this flight. Got some great photos... a great day!

[@valeriegordon3000]

I live a few miles from the lovely VeRA, She flies over my head at least once a week, and she has been so low coming in I have seen the pilot, lol. I adore her, and even though she rattles my windows I always smile. This footage is incredible.

[@MrDaiseymay]

An excellent and unique? gathering, of these iconic birds. For a better appreciation of their 'sound' , they needed a greater distance apart, on some of their passes.

[@guyanon9792]

I remember many years ago, I'm not quite sure, but I was in Spokane valley, WA, it was around 10ish in the morning, I was walking around the neighborhood and I remember I saw and heard a b29 flying over and I remember it being so loud that you could see the windows vibrating on some of the house, it's was really beautiful though, to hear and see one in person

[@markvanleeuwen6678]

I live by top gun/miramar here in sandiego, i see air shows all the time... this one is by far the best..thank you. sorry merlin fans, but the sound of multiple radial engine gives me tingles.

[@imvphotography5198]

That B-17 flew over my house along with a couple other war planes...it was magnificent

[@duggiebader1798]

Should be called "B25 & friends". Great video.

[@etiennethibault9247]

The Lancaster and the b17 is really the icing on the cake for me.

[@hackneysaregreat]

Great video! You just have not enough eyes to see everything..

[@PoshboyRoy]

What an airshow! I need to see the Mosquito and Harpoon flying in real life!

[@onestopmaintenance1495]

That just made my day. Thanks for the great video.

[@an1473]

I've recently got the movie "Memphis Belle" and I never knew it was so hard to get into the nose of a B-17 bomber, great movie BTW.

[@sblack48]

Mossie forever. I am so happy that somebody finally made molds. There will be more!

[@cf6282]

Rv4 Guy There are three flying now! Hope to see one in Europe soon.

[@bmw540i]

Mosquito still sounds the best

[@MrDaiseymay]

when you can hear it over the pointless jabbering. He should have shut up when the planes were approaching, because we couldn't hear him anyway.

[@amycummingsirishdancemom8467]

Oh wow amazing video. Super super jealous. The Lancaster is my fav bomber. Maybe because I'm from Buffalo, super close to the heritage museum lol. Just got the pleasure of seeing the madras maiden a B 17 the other day. Very cool. Still really enjoy the Avro Lancaster though. Big ol rolls royce engines.

[@davidcoe788]

First attack on Tokyo were B-25 's, 17th bomber group out of Pendleton, Ore. "Doolittle Raiders'"

[@jean-pierrepodik9638]

Hello! the sound of freedom, Thanks for you.

[@tailendcharlie]

they have awesome airshows over there!

[@hkja99]

what a great show! thanks!!!

[@thelatiosmaster]

all of them built almost in the same years, but the b29 really stands up over all them^^ (saying nothing about their importance or beauty, just the presence)

[@simonspitfire16]

Nice !!! To think the B-29 Doc is ready to fly, love to see a flypast of her together with Fifi. It would be nice to see the Lancaster Bad Penny (FM 212) from Windsor On. Back in the air also.

[@gary5807]

What a show, and so close. I wish I was there.

[@heathercunningham3040]

I love the Lancaster 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@jonnybottle]

There is absolutely no congruity between the events and the commentary.

[@TheSirjohn2012]

I like both of these nations bombers and the british had some very good airplanes back then.I'm impressed by the B-29 in this flyover too.

[@NesconProductions]

Great video but airshow announcers should just keep quiet.. If you don't know what your watching get a program or google on your phone during the show. Really annoying..

[@lonewanderer3412]

I would love to see more b 29s in the air they were so good looking

[@EchoesoftheInfinite]

Amazing Video

[@gary5807]

What a show!

[@soppdrake]

[@dylandepetro4187]

Blue shifted on approach and red shifted when maving away. It's literally science in the sky

[@rickydoolous5356]

Doppler effect, very pronounced especially when an helicopter is approaching then flies away from you.

as much as this vid is about the airplanes, I always think of the brave Men who manned them.

Such beautiful aircraft

[@johnn278]

Lancaster

[@grantbartow13]

Great video!!!

[@deanlates1020]

All stunning, but don’t lie! You wanted the Lancaster

[@NoTaboos]

A V-12 makes a radial sound clumsy. (And an H24, when we ever get to hear one again.)

[@TheTir1962]

D-Day stripes on that Lancaster?

[@rubennouta2406]

The b-25 still looks revolutionairy

[@pramboyzealand2527]

love the b-25 but I'd call the mossie revolutionary, a medium bomber capable of 400mph that could tangle with fighters, that's pretty revolutionary to me

[@pramboyzealand2527]

soaringtractor your point?

[@pramboyzealand2527]

soaringtractor welllll, the fighter- bomber version carried X4 20mm cannon and machine guns, after it dropped its load....what do you think it could do if it had to?

[@raymondperrault5821]

Here's what it could do if it had to: The FB Mk VI proved capable of holding its own with single-engine fighter aircraft in addition to bombing. For example, on 15 January 1945 Mosquito FB Mk VIs of 143 Squadron were engaged by 30 Focke-Wulf Fw 190s from Jagdgeschwader 5: nonetheless, the Mosquitos sank an armed trawler and two merchant ships, losing five Mosquitos (two to flak)[132] but shooting down five Fw 190s.[133]

[@bigglesflysagain1749]

...ahhh ...the B-25....how surprised I was when, as a younger chap, I got hear a Mitchell, after all the WW11 movies I had seen...and realized how "clunky and clattery" they sounded...I 'spose that's because of the radials....

[@whalesong999]

They do have a different "cackle" sound to them. It was the way the exhaust manifolds were made and routed. Short, flame reducing ex. pipes were fitted on some cylinders while a few others went to a collector ring and the sound is quite unique. I rode inside one during a display in NE in the early '80s. The interior noise was deafening, had to use protective earmuffs with speakers to withstand the sound.

[@bluesrocker91]

whalesong999 I love watching these old warbirds take off at night, with jets of flame streaming out of the exhausts.

[@whalesong999]

+The Paranoid Blues Man - When I was a boy, flights of recip airliners would leave the airports in Wichita and head out over our farm toward K.C. Very noticeable blue exhaust glow from each nacelle and quite a nice sound too. I think their altitude by then was about 5000'.

[@bluesrocker91]

whalesong999 Of course that was a dead giveaway to night fighters. In fact I think it was such a problem for the Halifax bombers that it had to be heavily modified.

[@BaudaMontanha]

[@Alhy-ls3dv]

Martin Bauer it is the PB4Y Privateer a maritime patrol bomber intended to replace the PBY Catalina

[@christinegoodings6289]

@@Alhy-ls3dv very much like a B24 with a different tail

Nice, shame the commentator doesn't know the difference between a Lancaster and a Mosquito at the start.

B-25 was pretty stout.One flew through the Empire State building.

[@MrDaiseymay]

How many B-29 are flying today?---they never appeared in the European war.

[@bluesrocker91]

Philip Croft Sadly just the one B29 I believe.... About 25 years ago they tried to restore one that crash landed on Greenland called Kee Bird. It was completed and ready to fly, but burst into flames as it taxied to the runway. There's a documentary about it on PBS America.

[@johnjones4825]

Destroyed by the Allies after the war...

[@TEEEEEEEG]

Mosquito was a strike fighter/attacker not bomber

[@daniellastuart3145]

Originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, the Mosquito was adapted to roles including low to medium-altitude daytime tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike aircraft, and fast photo-reconnaissance aircraft. It was also used by the British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) as a fast transport to carry small high-value cargoes to, and from, neutral countries, through enemy-controlled airspace. A single passenger could ride in the aircraft's bomb bay when it was adapted for the purpose

[@philcorlett6172]

It is a Lancaster, it is NOT a Mosquito and it is not a B29.

[@philcorlett6172]

And my name is NOT Corlett. I am Phil Corkill.

[@davidhayes4814]

Pity these planes are synonymous with war and death because they are about the most beautiful and evocative pieces of art/engineering ever made........ that is so sad.

[@MrDaiseymay]

WTF--they wouldn't exist at all without their purpose for being. Passenger transport they ain't.

[@MrDaiseymay]

Tell the Axis power's

[@wanyelewis9667]

That wasn't the Allied countries choice. They merely responded to bad actors around the world. Put another way, these planes are synonymous with freedom from oppression. Thank God for these planes and the people who designed/built/flew them.

It certainly was a good bomber when used according to its strengths. The B-17 and B-24 probably couldn't have done what the Lancaster did; the Lancaster certainly couldn't have done what the B-17 and B-24 did.
