I was lucky enough to be walking near my home (next to RAF Scampton) and I saw the last flying Vulcan circling around the aerodrome... it was fantastic

[@Sakhmeov]

Fun fact: The Concorde wasn't just practically the only passenger plane to fit afterburners, but it's one of only two planes ever to fit both afterburner and thrust reverser on the same engine, the other being the SAAB 37 Viggen.

[@Platinumsniper]

There is an airline in Northern Canada called Buffalo Airways that flies mostly DC-3 as well as a few DC-4, C-46, and Lockheed L-188 Electras

[@OriginalEric]

The strobe effect at the end that makes the plane's props hold still was kind of amazing! Love these museum vids Jingles.

[@claytonburch8681]

called the the thunderbolt a wildcat lol

[@BNRmatt]

I had the pleasure of visiting Duxford during my time in England - I'm glad they've kept the place up and, evidently, greatly expanded the exhibits. My grandfather was stationed at a nearby airbase during the war, as a civilian volunteer with the Army Air Corps. He still speaks fondly of England and the British today.

[@nocouponsforkaren8587]

Omg jingles was actually in the navy!!! I had not f***ing clue and I've been watching him for like 5 years

[@Tryinglittleleg]

nicholas salwei he has had 20 years in the navy

[@Tjezee]

I've been in a historical airplane museum and a modern aviator flight show but I have to admit, playing warthunder and seeing these videos made me appreciate these marvelous pieces of history a lot more. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@olliewills1227]

Even with him correcting himself I still got triggered when he called a anson a Lysander

[@riproar11]

Don't use the word "triggered". It's literally more annoying than the word "literally".

[@ronnieaarav7858]

a trick : you can watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies these days.

[@nykstysanyksciu]

I've been there 6 times and I've loved every moment there!

[@binaryfinary1]

it's a thunderbolt that 3.04 n not the wildcat

[@akkermanrik]

So fun to watch you are all exicted and a enthusiastic speaker about all those aircrafts you showed in the video so nice to watch. Thank you for sharing it with me.

[@edmundsdemonds8309]

At 18:20 the sound track becomes overplayed from a different part

[@danielxh558]

yeah that was so funny XD

[@LordBiggleswade]

Thanks very much for sharing all of these videos, Jingles! A few years ago, I took part in a study abroad program at the University of Cambridge. One day, I made a quick trip down the M11 to Duxford for a day. Seeing all those beautiful machines was magical and I felt quite a bit like you did judging from this video. You did a great job of capturing all the wonderful history there is to be found at the museum. Nice work! Thanks again and cheers from the United States!

[@hojer95]

victor was the last of the tree V-bombers of the V-Force to enter service :)

[@Falkirion]

Jingles can't wait to see the rest of the museum. Duxford just made my must visit list for when I get over to England.

[@jerrymcgady3779]

This may be in poor taste, but hey, a lot of jokes are. Jingles: When was the last time you washed your car Eddie? Eddie: When did it rain last?

[@XxwookiedancerxX]

Jingles, Thanks for making this video and sharing it with the youtube community. It is really nice to see someone as cheerful and kind as you giving back to the channel. I know you didn't have to do this but you did anyways. Thousands and thousands of people thank you for it :)

[@RobbieRR]

3:00 it's a p-47 not a hellcat -_-

[@MrElis420]

+Roy Shein No, it's a P-47. Look at it, how does it look anything like a Hellcat?

[@MrElis420]

Roy Shein Dude, you said it was a Hellcat in your first post, I don't see one, I see a P-47 in front, a P-40 behind the P-47, and a A-1 Skyraider or something in the back with the folded wings.

[@MrElis420]

Roy Shein That's not an F6F or F4F lol, it's clearly a P-47. Sure, the two are similar in looks, and used basically the same type of engines, but seriously... How can you miss that it's not a Hellcat or Wildcat? Turn on the video annotations, Jingles himself wrote it's a P-47.

[@MrElis420]

Roy Shein I'm not trying to be an ass or anything, I just genuinely don't get how you think it's not a P-47 man.

[@MrElis420]

+Roy Shein I know, it does have 8 guns. The guns closest to the pilot were inserted further back into the wings, making it look like there was only 6 guns. Look at the engine cowling, look how far spaced out the landing gear is, no tail-hook, it's painted in the Operation Overlord invasion stripes, it's just obviously not a carrier aircraft like the F4F Wildcat or F6F Hellcat, it's a P-47 dude! Compare these images to the view of the guns on the aircraft. www.google.com/search?q=P-47+guns&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi15Lrp-6jMAhUByYMKHZ2EAuEQ_AUIBygB&biw=1600&bih=785#imgrc=N-VpjSoNmgPvZM%3A

[@batchat25t77]

Growing up living in south eastern Michigan I would see B-17s and and mustangs flying over the house multiple times a summer going up to different air shows. Wasn't a far drive to the Air Force museum in Dayton either! Always took it for granted. Funny how different perspectives make you appreciate things more!

[@mitadjordjevic7350]

Jingles,the ZASTAVA pistol is not russian,its serbian

[@gianiyo15]

i was really sad because of a person being killed in my family , but watching this video made me a bit happier , it was about my favorite things, Jingles , museums , roadtrips and history , thanks jingles for bringing a smile on a sad persons face

[@jos7405]

Jingles, you are driving on the wrong side of the road. Oh wait... its England...

[@jos7405]

England, you so silly...

[@jakedeane5304]

+jo s we have been driving on the left side for hundreds of years

[@almostkentish3042]

jo s we've been driving for longer than you, we make the rules!

[@redswift31]

Jingles I have never really been a huge plane fanatic untill I really started watching your vids now vids like this make me all happy!

[@roanferguson8873]

There is so much wrong with jingles's facts here

[@MrsBobby-gy5of]

Roan Ferguson Why is a guy who doesn't know his aircraft doing this vid ?

[@RichardM-kv4uu]

Went there over the weekend, and it is an amazing day out, so much to see, in fact too much for just one visit! You could spend all day in just one of the hangars, there are SO MANY planes (and other things) to see, and walking through the Concorde was absolutely amazing, one of those things I'll never forget! (Mind your head though, I banged mine twice!)

[@starfuryms582]

Ah, this brings back memories. Before I moved to Canada, I used to live about half an hour from Duxford. My workplace at the A11 rest stop in Little Abington was about 10-15 minutes away. We used to go to the museum at least once a year. I remember walking through that Concorde back when they had it perked out on the taxi-way. Don't think they had the Vulcan back then, but I could be wrong. I do remember seeing the Vulcan flying at the R.A.F Leuchars air show back when my dad was stationed there. So when I was about 10. I can still remember how loud that thing was even 20 years later XD. Also, shame on you Jingles for not pointing out the Sturmgewehr 44 in the weapons case XD. That gun was an important part of history. It may not have had much of an impact on the war, but it was the worlds first assault rifle, even giving us the name for the class of weapons (Sturmgewehr literaly translates to 'storm rifle', with storm obviously being the 'storm that position' variety, thus, assault rifle).

[@kennethn9758]

they were rolls royce merlin engines

[@alasdairblack393]

Soaring tractor your reputation precedes you. This Lancaster is actually a MKX Canadian built Lancaster one of around 500 Canadian built. So how does it feel to be corrected?

[@JohnoO_O_]

Thoroughly enjoyed this series of videos from you Jingles, thanks

[@rodneyperry2490]

The village has not changed because it is located in England. Muslims would be the only notable change.

[@VetAnimalGuy]

It's funny because it's true.

[@als_pals]

Whoa there buddy

[@MrShamWowTheGreat]

Gotta love a guy with such a passion, especially when I share that passion! Go jingles!!! Love ur videos!

[@coldnova]

Thanks Jingles, as a big plane buff i love it when you do this stuff for us.

[@fardiemann]

Thank you so much for making these videos for us, what an genius idea to take everybody on trips to museums with Uncle Jingles! I will visit these museums myself one day.

[@DwayneHicks323]

Jingles you have to agree the noise a Vulcan makes when the open the throttle is amazing it's just a awesome plane.

[@SaFalken]

I saw Sally B take off at Duxford a few years ago. There was not a show on, and no announcement that it was taking off. I didn't even think it was airworthy. Walking from hanger to hanger and suddenly all 4 engines spool up. It was great to see her take off.

[@airzulu2733]

Duxford probably the best aviation museum in europe . Well worth the visit .

[@DS_Silverfox]

Thank you Jingles, look forward to more museums

[@philbarnes7620]

Look forward to next part, my dad was one of the test flight engineers on Concorde when it was at Fulton and Fairford.

[@georgeaxl123]

Jingles, at 05:13 the aircraft behind the spit, its a EMB 312 (Military AT-27) "Tucano", Low-wing tandem-seat single-turboprop basic trainer with counter-insurgency capability developed in Brazil, by Embraer. We no longer use it for defense in Brazil, only for basic training of flight cadets. the new emb 314 (A-29) replaced it as light fighter. i've piloted many of these and i can say that it is very maneuvarable. looks pretty cool on the RAF colors. Nice video!

[@Garfunkle567]

my uncle ken was in tears when u showed the Lancaster tail seat had some some memories of it over Dresden thanks m8

[@ChillJosh69]

Man Jingles, being near jets is awesome, one of the best experiences ever for me was touching an F-35 Lightning II. I live near a large air force base with a museum. I always love seeing aircraft

[@gennehring1]

Love it Jingles! Had a B-29 here in Las Vegas a month back. Amazing. Thank you for these videos.

[@aceshigh666666]

i went to the flying legends last year and i am going back someday. thanks for this nice view of duxford's history

[@scottboyer8450]

That Handley Page Victor has got to be one of the most beautiful aircraft ever. All the "V" bombers were pretty but that thing is just a work of art.

[@sgtbloodsplat]

Great video Jingles very educational. I could be mistaken but from time to time here in Toronto Canada there's a Lancaster buzzing around and it just an amazing bit of kit that plane. Cheers.

[@olentangy74]

Great video. As an American who is a lifelong WW2 buff as well as someone who has spent a career in aviation, I would love to visit Duxford. I would like to stay at a B&B in Duxford and be there during the annual air show. It looks like a beautiful place. My uncle was a ball turret gunner on B-24 Liberators out of RAF Shipdahm.

[@B0GlES]

Neat, a Lancaster! I got to see a Lancaster recently on the isle of wight as it mad a few passes at low altitude. The noise was insane!!

[@Eisenhammer78]

By watching all that beautiful planes, the Tornado is the real beauty for me. Very nice footage, as always! BR from Germany

[@gibbosapien123]

I went to this show a few years back and I recommend it to anyone who loves planes, I was fortune enough to see all the planes in the video fly including the red arrows and a euro fighter and OMG it was loud

[@RuDyinzilibanon]

i've been to duxford a few years ago but i was in november so there was no air show and it was raining, but still it was one of the best experiences i ever had

[@Shobe95]

Thanks Jingles your museum tour videos are great! i'm looking forward for more and specially i'm waiting Tankfest.

[@The_MightyJingles]

Duxford have three more airshows this year. Flying Legends 13-14 July. Duxford Air Show 7-8 September and Autumn Airshow 13 October.

[@TriDeXXtreme]

I've watched every one of your museum vids and i love them all

[@Malivictus]

thank you jingles for this video and many others like this to come,seeing even just one of the MK I spits just made my day..the MK 2 is my fav i War Thunder shot down 3 B-25s and 2 Yak 9Ts last time I was in her..

[@Sf_Mason]

The Vulcan is insanely loud, I was lucky enough to see the one restored by Vulcan to the Skies at Bruntingthrope taking off when testing my university's Formula Student car. We all stopped and just watched as this thing lit all four after burners and ROARED off down the runway, awesome sight and sounds!

[@BlessurisHammer]

Watching your videos never get boring.

[@jpbrjb13]

This brings back memories of my trips to duxford, loved it

[@ChardFXN]

I absolutely love Duxford and have been there a number of times, but I can't help but feel they nicked that lightening from outside Rochester Airport. My daily commute was livened up by that thing, I MISS YOU LIGHTENING

[@black0ps0815]

Oh man im so jealous Jingles...i always wanted to visit the Imperial War Museum but never had the opportunity yet when i was in the UK. Thank you for this great video.

[@Karelwolfpup]

nice, wish I had the time and money to do this sort of thing, did it every summer as a kid *wistful sigh* been inside a concorde at East Fortune, not too far away from the "Secret bunker", amazed at the walls of analogue switches that seemed to be all over the cockpit. Just amazing.

[@Jaden2977]

I've been there and it was really cool seeing all the tanks and planes

[@AnnihilatorCZ]

Sally B, that B-17 was on the aviation fair here in the Czech Republic earlier this month! It was a sight for sore eyes, really!

[@ghost122gun]

It is nice to see how you love aircraft and see you

[@TokranInami]

Great video, Jingles! If i'm ever to visit Britain, i'll have to make sure to pay this awesome museum a visit!

[@jamesbaird1149]

omg, my great grandfather's flight instructor, flew in the memphis bell at 1 point of the bomber's life :) amazing vid jingles :)

[@MGLegacy17]

Duxford IWM is awesome. I was there at the Jubilee airshow last year and saw the Sally B B-17 and some other cool stuff. Definitely worth a trip if there's an event on.

[@MrMil0o]

This was really cool to watch. I wish some day I get the chance to visit an airshow, thanks jingles.

[@Gool349]

Jingles, you gotta come to the "Flugwerft" in Schleißheim, close to Munich, Germany. its at least as big as the imperial war museum and also has an airstrip where on some days of the year all these beautiful planes get to fly and people do miniature airplane and diorama contests and shows inside the hangars

[@TheCoolBritishGuy]

I remember when I saw, and more importantly heard, a Vulcan for the first time at the Blackpool Air Show a few years back. I recall it flying in from behind the crowds and scaring the crap out of everyone. It was the loudest and most terrifying-looking aircraft I've ever seen.

[@collinlingaitis8872]

Saw those mark 1/2 spitfires and I almost cried... I mean... TWO OF THEM?? Gorgeous planes

[@Oryon25]

Thank you, Jingles. You are awesome.

[@HammaneggsAirborne]

Jingles, if you decide to visit U.S. You should tour the U.S. pacific coast during the summer sometime, it has great aircraft museums. I would suggest going to the Boeing Field museum (SR-71) in Washington, then head down the Evergreen Aerospace museum (SR-71, The Spruce Goose) in Oregon, then watch the Sacramento Capital Airshow with the a bunch of huge planes to walk in, and jets flying over at nearly supersonic. Afterwards, the McClellan air museum has a great collection of jets (A-10, F-14)!

[@Rich60flix]

Hi Jingles, I refueled a Vulcan on Guam in 1972. I was at Andersen AFB at the time. Cool looking aircraft.

[@ShAdOwUlf7]

I remember when I first went to duxford :) One of the best days of my life

[@MrLYNDON56games]

I can't wait to go there this summer, there's a lot more than I thought there was! great video as well, looking forward to part 2 :)

[@davegbp]

I share your interests in military aircraft of yesterday and today...If you ever get a chance to come the states, you need to visit the EAA Air Venture in Wisconsin.....A huge display of WWII aircraft that actually fly and you can go up to and touch, talk to the pilots...and even be up close when they start up, taxi, and take off....with sometimes as ,many as 25 P51 Mustangs, B17s, B25s...etc...a few years back, I got to see a British Lancaster...really cool!

[@brakeollie27]

I'll be over in the US for Oshkosh next year, hoping we have Vera there!

[@MrDeathray117]

Jingles is the only one who knew we Americans call it the war hawk!!! Thank you jingles!!!!!

[@phillipb6311]

When I saw you driving down the left side of he road I almost had a heart attack, then I remembered I'm stupid. Glad to see this video up! Keep up the great work!

[@Shejtz]

Long time I've been there at duxford. My dad used to drive all the way there just to show me the airshow with the spitfires when we were on holiday in England :)

[@The_MightyJingles]

God bless your Uncle Ken!

[@ThaGman93]

Great video, I liked seeing the sabre the most. Really cool dogfighting period, after the design of jet fighters but before the development of radar guided or heat-seeking missiles. The Lancaster is really cool, but I've seen one before in person in the aviation museum in Ottawa, Canada. The weapons display was nice as well, but I think you missed showing the STG44which was in the top corner of the display. But great job, thanks for posting this, enjoyed it very much. And thanks to Eddie too.

[@timpattenden8915]

I’m so lucky to live just 10 miles away in Saffron Walden. There’s always some lovely planes that come past

[@thunderbird1100]

Glad someone else pointed this out, because I thought the same when looking at it. Being American and all, a good friend of mine has an SKS, and it's a fun rifle to shoot. Shoots 7.62x39 (same as AK-47) which he usually gets for about 40-50 cents per round.

[@Sdwaggy]

Been a long time since I've been there. About 20 years ago I think, was only 10 at the time. Surprised I remember so much of it. Have to admit though, I was there for the tanks!

[@ShAdOwUlf7]

flying legends day at duxford is one of my fave days of the year :D

[@still_guns]

That Lysander was actually an Avro Anson. Also G-AXDN, the concorde is 1/4 the sive of a real concorde. Delta Golf.at Brooklands is massive.

[@irishtank42]

Jingles, you would love the Wright Paterson USAF Museum here in Ohio. Washington DC. has nothing on Ohio because the Museum has 4 hangers filled with aircraft and circular room filled with every ICBM the US has ever used standing up right in Genesis pattern. It has almost every aircraft the US has ever used or tested and they plan on building another hanger. This museum takes at least a day to get through and at most two days. A thing of note it has almost all the MIGs and Air Force Ones.

[@SgtPattyson]

I'm going to Duxford for the Flying Legends show. Really looking forward to that.

[@Razgriz005]

Jingles. on the Concorde a round trip from new york to paris would have cost 10,000USD right before the paris crash, compared to an equivalent subsonic airliner which would be around 2000USD. So taking this into mind a Concorde ticket would cost roughly 5X times as much as a normal 747 flight ticket.

[@PallysalltheWay]

Living just near Duxford, I had a great view of the red arrows whizzing over my garden! :D

[@DanielKling]

Now that you mention it, the likeness is striking! First and Only!

[@SolarClarence]

I instantly like this kind of videos, they're bound to be good.

[@ppj0241]

I like the museum tours, Mighty One! Keep them going!

[@cadinstormlord]

Jingles, I have watched the Vulcan fly irl, at the Dawlish air show a few years back, boy was it amazing

[@hardcorebanana97]

Can't wait to see more aircraft.

[@mwhite112393]

Fantastic video! Few issues around the 18-minute mark, but I can't wait for the next one!

[@The_MightyJingles]

It's almost like you can see the future!

[@1Scimetar]

There was a STG 44 Shtermgaver, the first ever assault rifle and the only one used in the Second World War. It was also where the AK got its basic format. PS, there's a U.S. aeronautics museum, filled with planes from both world wars (mostly American) with the addition of a concord outside, located in Seattle (western side of the state), Washington(way up in the north-western corner of the states south of Canada, known commonly as the lower 48, for those who aren't familiar with US geography).

[@georgeaxl123]

Exactly, only re-engined with a 1.100 shp Garret, with four-blade propeller. (original T-27 uses a P&W PT6 engine with better climb power) the avionics suffered minor changes because of british operational training patterns. But i was talking about the plane itself not the modification, although, good point you have made.

[@FreeSpeechAficionado]

Nice. We have a Lancaster in Hamilton that still flies. Can see it during the summer over head. I always imagine what a 1000 of these beauties must have sounded like Cheers
