With the expertise of a aviation expert we dug the small remains of a very rare He 177 German bomber that was shot down by a Mosquito it crashed and burned on one of our fields in Essex UK, i believe some crew survived, we found 13mm bullets, perspex and I have a big lump of melted aluminium. Obviously the RAF had cleared up most of the wreck during the war, good work cheers

[@HighlanderNorth1]

(9:08)Did anyone try to fire that up and see if it's still flight worthy? I dove onto a sunken WW2 German submarine in 2021, and I managed to get inside it's bridge and fire up its engines. Then I surfaced it and cruised it around for a few hundred miles. But I forgot to check it's fuel gauge, so it ran out of fuel and sank back to the bottom again. Unfortunately I neglected to take photos or video of my excursion, so I have no actual proof of any of this. You'll just have to take my word for it. (Lol)

[@ieatoutoften872]

My fellow Americans, perspex is a substitute for glass canopies on airplanes.
I think it is a predicessor to plexiglass.
I think the Americans began using it in January 1941 (for example, on the Curtiss P-40B). I think the British began using it in August 1940.

What you are looking at is part of the wing main spar. From 16:25 t0 16:43, you can see the wing ribs attached to it. The brass fittings at 16:42 are possibly part of the fuel system, as is the tube you see at 22:18. The number on the frame is possibly a part number or serial number. Well done on your research, outstanding find!

Part of the wing spar of the Lancaster from the looks of it. Being one of the most solid structural pieces of the aircraft, it is no surprise it survived the crash, and to see it still in place, almost 80 years later. Amazing. It has probably survived this long because, especially nowadays, hardly anyone knows it's there, and hopefully, it stays that way, so future HH's can re-discover this amazing piece of lost History. And well done to EE, for spotting that serial number. Living up to his nickname again, and again. Great stuff! Thank you both for sharing this remarkable find with us.

Working at the council in thanet in the uk I looked after the ww2 bomb record maps, these also included the ww2 planes which were shot down, my uncle told me as kids they had picked up ammunition and other articles from a crashed German plane, now you hear this sort of thing all the time, so checked it out sure enough an ME110 crashed in the woods in his estate, we were able see where the tops of the trees were taken off and sure enough it’s still there. He told me the crew were still inside but I doubt that, however, the war was a busy time, man power was limited it may have been in the too hard basket, so they could still be there. It’s quite moving really, what ever side these airmen were on, they were doing what they thought was right for their country at the time, we live in a world where you can see anything, read anything from anywhere on the planet with the touch of a button, for those guys they only knew what they were told, what they read in a book or paper, or what they heard on the radio or saw in the cinema.

Same with the U boats like 90% didn't come back last year of war.BUT the crews didn't know so they Went. The reason they sent them out was the 1K bombers and ships Out there looking would've been Bombing Germany so they went . That's War may they Rest in Peace..

[@weedfreer]

A lot of the Germans were scared as hell with regards to what would becomenof them if they dared go against the flow also.
And, a lot of the things which were happening were known, only, decisions were made, for a similar reason, not to pay it any attention.
It was a similar situation as we see with regards to the Russians right now, only, with a much wider base of support for the cause.
I'm sure there was needless loss of life in both sides. That said, war is always going to be a bloody affair.
We should have been done with it in 1946.

We saw her up close being started one time and taking off. One can try to imagine dozens of them taking off, it would be deafining to the ears.

Another brilliant video! I'm just reading Paul Nichols Lancaster book (Lancaster: The Forging of a Very British Legend) regarding losses such as this, the crews that survived and crews such as this that did not. This brings this book regarding the war years back into the modern day - what a find! Thanks HH and EE!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Goo dot read and thanks for watching.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

What an interesting finding, HH! And to get a story from a bystander is fantastic!!! I love this!!!❤

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes i agree Cynthia , what a great addition talking to a eyewitness. Thanks so much for your great support and be safe out there.

[@mikeswann2647]

AMAZING WORK. FANTASTIC WORK YOU GUYS NEVER FAIL TO PRODUCE FANTASTIC HISTORY. OF A WORLD AT WAR AS WAR WAS NEVER FOUGHT BEFORE LAND SE AND AIR..

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks a lot :)

[@bethlawson9878]

Amazing find! Your research team is top- notch.
I have a question that is not related to this video but is within the scope of your adventures. Have you ever found any of the WHW badges while metal detecting? I can't recall seeing any in your videos. Great job to EE for finding that number. It can be used to identify that particular plane and the crew that was aboard her on that flight.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

we have , several times but that is such a long time ago. Thanks Beth.

[@bethlawson9878]

@@WW2HistoryHunter, ok,cool! Thanks HH

[@anthonyroberts7718]

It’s unbelievable that it’s still there. I guess with many people not knowing it is there has helped to keep it from disappearing. What is left has survived quite well. Even aluminum will corrode away in certain conditions. Meeting an eye witness was a miracle. Most people are probably not around anymore to tell the story. Hearing it from an old timer is something Eagle Eyes will remember for the rest of his life as well as all the adventures he has shared with his Dad. Great job researching and bringing us this piece of history.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes EE still talks about that encounter and so glad we could do that. Thanks and have a great summer Anthony.

Another fun episode, full of history.
During WWII there was also a lot of bombing in the Netherlands by the Nazis.
A special find the aircraft engine, but the story is even better.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes so much happened in the Netherlands during WW2 indeed. This is a great story and location. Thank you Oma :)

[@hiddentruth1982]

You should record the conversation so it isn't forgotten. That man is a source of knowledge that is vanishing and should be preserved.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

We actually did and got the permission to do so and glad for that but the gentleman did not want to be recorded or shown. Thanks.

[@glennchuckie773]

Wow, that was amazing, but at the same time a bit sad, shame it and its crew it seems are mostly forgotten? Would like to see it in a museum or maybe a memorial plaque attached to it, but then I guess there must be thousands of similar objects with similar to go with them.
As always another brilliant video, you guys are truly remarkable in what you do, well done and thank you! 👍

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Crew were buried later and actually there are not many of these wrecks just laying around like this one in a field. Thanks for watching Glenn.

[@RaoulThomas007]

It doesn’t sound like the crew was forgotten at all! Among other tributes HH Honored the Crew and Aircraft by leaving a model of the Lancaster!
“The crew were buried in the local cemetery, though their remains were repatriated in 1948 by British Military authorities…”

[@glennchuckie773]

@@RaoulThomas007 didn't know there was other tributes, must of missed that bit? And didn't think HH left the model there, thought that was being given to one of the lucky supporters of the road trip?
I will watch it again..

[@simonrichards6739]

Great video, the wings for Lancasters were built in on the industrial estate next to my primary school before transport to Woodford for assembly to the fuselage. They still have the air raid siren test it out, at playtime we got scared that ww3 had started!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

How interesting and thanks for being here Simon :)

[@algarbarino8538]

Very well done with the proper respect of a Avro Lancaster aircraft and crew that were killed in World War 2.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching.

[@adrianleigh7410]

If you look on the left side of the component you can still see the original camouflage paint. From 87/91 I worked at British Aerospace in Chadderton, NW Manchester where the Lancaster fuselage, wings and rear gun turret were manufactured prior to final assembly at British Aerospace Woodford, SE Manchester. The factory at Chadderton was the old A.V.Roe factory where Roy Chadwick, the Lancasters designer worked in the design office.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

i see and thanks for sharing and for watching.

[@btrdangerdan2010]

That's frickin awesome dad and son exploring history together

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Yes that is such a privilege to be able to do. Thanks for being here with us.

[@Snagglepuss1952]

Very interesting. My father was one of the 75sqn pilots based at Mepal in Oxfordshire from May 1944 until the end of the war, this makes me very grateful for being alive. Dad was both an exceptional pilot and a very fortunate one he and all of his crew survived the war. He always maintained that the German AA Batteries were very good (or bad depending on your point of view). Interesting you mentioned a crew of 8 Dad only flew with a crew of 7. Would be interesting to find out what the extra man was doing. Pilot, front gunner/bomb aimer
, navigator, flight engineer, wireless operator, upper gunner,and tail gunner. Cheers from NZ

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great explore and be proud of your father. Thanks for watching.

Its hard to imagine nowadays, how massive WWII was.
All sides suffered.......all side's were following orders. We should never forget the sacrifies on all sides.
