Lancaster Squadron | "Journey Together" the Movie (1944)

[@georgebrooks3747]

Thanks again for these kinds of films, you really can't beat them for an accurate portrayal as you can get, no cgi or bullshit

[@sandhill9313]

No CGI, but unreservedly telling a set story to the citizens, so realism a bit managed. GREAT film though!!!

[@markspence3295]

66 years of age, lifelong interest in bomber command, and this is the first time I’ve seen this film. What a great film, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I’m 70 and had the privilege of knowing John Cunningham 3 tours in the Australian heavy bomber Squadron 466. Tail gunner, then teaching screen gunning then went back as a radio operator upper turret gunner. John survived the war. I was the first person ever John allowed to take home his personal log book. Amazing facts of actual Bombing over Berlin & Germany. I built John a replica of his Halifax G for George and he kept it on his TV until he passed away I the late 90’s. I went around to see his widow and we sat for ages talking and going through all his Wartime photo albums. God Bless you John Cunningham a true polite Gentleman. Hope you enjoyed the story 🇦🇺👍🇦🇺

Great movie. Solid audio. Well done, and thank you.

[@rishisingh9039]

A generation of heroes. All of them. Excellent movie.

[@craigmcdaniel7142]

I trained at Williams AFB very near Mesa, Arizona, where these guys were learning to fly. One can see the Superstition Mountains in the background during the takeoff and landing scenes. That was the same view I had during USAF pilot training more than 40 years ago.

[@pelonehedd7631]

As a American born in 1957 with many relatives who fought in WW2 I grew up watching everything I could about WW2 and thought I Had seen it all. This one somehow escaped Me until now and what a gem. I have always been a fan of Richard Attenborough’s but have never seen any of His very early films. The acting / facial expression’s was excellent and really had Me feeling for His predicament and in the end the elation at being found because of His abilities.

[@michaelmcneil4168]

It was supposed to be about Lancasters not Lancaster and there is only one of them but it wasn't this one.

[@janiekcarney5482]

My Dad was a US bomber pilot and went to Perth, Australia. Flew reconnaissance. I watch all Aviation films. Thank you for the quality of these films.

[@johnandersen6364]

Something to never forget and be proud of. Thanks for your dad's service from all of us in the free world.

[@ReturnoftheNative-w8k]

I live in Perth, Western Australia, at Fremantle Harbour & I can see where the U.S. submarines used to tie up. Its only a few hundred yards from my home. The harbour tugs tie up there now. We are forever grateful.

[@petercermak1910]

Wow a fantastic WW II movie where 95% of the cast were actual RAF and US air and army personnel. With the exception of E.G. Robinson and his wife, they were the real deal, not knocking Edward by any means! And then some went on to film "The Great Escape!" and other fine movies. Thanks for sharing this movie.

[@no-oneinparticular7264]

Edward G Robinson served in the US Navy during WW1. He joined the Los Angeles police department auxiliary service during WW2.

[@joaohubler1]

Even though it was a black and white film, the script and cast were excellent for the time. I really liked it and I will watch it again and recommend it to my friends! Thanks...

[@chrisziemba3889]

what a great old movie. that i never saw before. keep them coming.

[@DavidRice111]

Richard Attenborough did serve in the RAF during WWII, but was a member of the Film Production Unit to whom we owe this movie.

[@ReviveUK]

Thanks for uploading 🥰

[@christopherharris6145]

My dad was a Navigator and flew with 550 Squadron, Royal Air Force North Killingholme. He loved the sound of four Merlin engines. When I was young he often flew a Tiger Moth at his company flying club. I now live in Tucson AZ. which is not very far from Mesa.

[@johnsullivan7262]

Excellent. First time I'd seen this. My father was a decorated Lanc Navigator.

[@stevenhj3124]

An incredibly historic well made film produced in 1944 during the war. I was born in 1944, served in Vietnam and World War II was always part of my history. As we said in the Navy........ "Well done." ☮

[@MattInOzCoys]

What an absolute gem. Thanks so much for making this available. Arthur Daley in the RAF, you learn something new every day...

Thanks for the story 👍 i was brought up on these types of stories some not publicly known to the 80's and beyond ! but in the 60's having had a father in the RAF during ww2 along with other members of the extended family I've just about heard them all

[@nixter1nixter1]

I'm glad no one has to rely on my math skills to survive, we'd all be dead. We have Navigation computers on most aircraft, but pilots must still learn basic NAV skills for those times when they fail.

[@OrbitFallenAngel]

I know exactly what you mean!! 😂 With my math skills literally everyone would most definitely be dead!! Because I have really horrible math skills!! (Unfortunately) But I can at least read a map!! No one in this era or age would ever have any inclination of how to get anywhere let alone on a dangerous mission!! Thank Goodness for the brave and courageous young men who flew these very dangerous missions because we will never ever understand what they went through!! We need to never ever forget what they did or their names!! ❤🙏🇬🇧

[@davidgeorge000]

If common core math is so good I wonder how it works for navigating? 😂

[@Bruce-1956]

😅I learned to navigate with a sextant during my training in the early 1970s in the MN only close to shore could we use RDF. We had a mechanical calculator on board to calculate the amount of oil for each tank and nothing else.

[@DavidRice111]

When I trained with U.S. Customs at their boat handler's school in Glynco, Ga, back in '87 (before advanced GPS was in play) we had to study nav charts and basic old school navigation. Graduated 3rd in my class of 30, and earned my Customs 'Marine Law Enforcement' cap as well as a set of beautiful nav tools. Came in handy on the Gulf during the "War on Drugs"!

[@stargazer5784]

Excellent movie featuring a very young Sir Richard Attenborough. Thx.

[@TheSheriff339]

Did you spot an equally young George Cole.

[@alidabaxter5849]

The air crews were so brave and the majority really were very young.

[@dast540]

Thanks for sharing it! I always enjoy watching Great Old Movies though. 👍👌👏 And of course, I'm a subscriber! Thanks Again Though.

[@markanderson3376]

Is that Richard Attenborough playing the Corporal in the opening scenes?

[@julianbarnes8737]

Many thanks for posting this, I hadn't seen it before.Although it will have a propaganda element (it was made in 1944) I think it is very true to the situation I know about RAF Bomber Command training and operation, from my father and what I have read in recent years. My father was a navigator in a Manchester in 1942, this being the low powered, low ceiling, unreliable 2 engine forerunner to the famous Lancaster. He was shot done and bailed out over occupied Belgium to become a POW at Sagan (Stalag Luft III) in occupied Poland for the remainder of the war. He was involved in the Great Escape in terms of making the 3 tunnels but didn't make it into the tunnel before it was discovered. If he had I likely wouldn't be writing this!

[@KatJNW]

Thank U, great job on the res, audio & Eng Sub (well sort of lol). ♡'s & ☆'s Enjoyed very much.

Flt Lt Colin Bell flew mosquitos in WW2 He flew 50 bombing sorties in WW2. He is still alive today age 103. He still goes to the RAF club in Piccadilly. What a great person .

All the skill these crews showed are remarkable,for its time,no global postioning,it's incredible.

[@mygremlin1]

I'm an old retired Corporate pilot who flew Navajo's. When training for my CFI I did a departure full power crossed controlled stall in a Cherokee 140. I went into a flat spin. A a/c that isn't supposed to spin. It did. I lost about 4000 ft before recovering. That's one of those learning experience's one gets. While training in the Navajo doing VMC flight...... well that is one of my most scary rides. My leg was sore for the rest of the day from stomping on the rudder.. GREAT MOVIE!

[@Firebrand55]

Excellent...and well produced account, containing future who's who of British acting talent....and commendable WW2 RAF talent! Many tense moments and production values. Now watch 'Appointment in London' for Lancaster footage....and, of course, 'The Dambusters." Richard Attenborough had a way of acting with his expressions that was unequalled for role realism....a British star.

[@grahamy3400]

I don’t think we will ever understand what they went through.

Thanks for great movie, my Dad didn’t like subs very much, signing on in ‘39 I think he served mostly aboard destroyers with a few trips to Russia unfortunately it was on one of those convoys that his ship was sunk fortunately rescued especially as a non swimmer otherwise I wouldn’t be here. He mentioned Icarus which survived until about ‘46 then scrapped. His father served in China during the so-called boxer rebellion also saw action at Jutland Dad told me us Grandfather started with boys time aboard Victory these days I wish I had pressed him for more information......

[@stetomlinson3146]

RAF Aircrew chose their own crews. Pilots and navigators chose each other, usually mates from training, then others met up and worked it out between themselves. Very few were just sent somewhere on their own. , they wanted teams who knew each other. I'm not sure why it didn't depict that in this film. It certainly wasn't decided by rank. You could get sergeants who were pilots and navs were officers.

Go through the list of players to find out. I didn't see Sam Kydd in there and I thought he was in the Army during WW2 but I could be wrong.

[@samrodian919]

Just checked the list. No Sam Kydd wasn't in it but did anyone notice that the air bomber who was injured in the Berlin raid was none other than a very young George Cole who later became Arthur Daley in the TV series Minder with Dennis Waterman?
