The queen’s face when she looks at the Lancaster the hurricanes and the spitfires...
@Amit Saini I think he is joking
"There goes my bois!"
Ahhh good old times she might've think!
Those are her heroes. She was young when Battle of Britain occurred. So she remembered clearly when those mighty machine flown pass. all the memory of the heroics aces that flown them and protect her and Britain from Nazi
She looks evil....
There went Canada's entire annual defense budget in 12 minutes.

brother can you explain this quote to me

@@Gramsciii
It’s a quote by the Prime Minister of the UK in WWII, expressing his gratitude for the sacrifices made by the pilots of the Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain. He was explaining how an entire country, with all its people, owed everything to only a few pilots who gave their all in the air over the English Channel.

As a Brazilian, I am so proud to see our Embraer Tucano on service of the mighty RAF that I had the honour to visit its museum two years ago.
Embraer make very good aircraft. You should be proud.
Got our Super Tucanos last year, and I must say everyone here loved it. Much love for the Philippines.
I’m pained to say that they are technically not Embraer Tucanos, they are Shorts Tucano T1’s. Same design just built slightly differently
@@jumpjet1152 correct and they were built in Belfast I believe to shame that they retired theme
@@connorredshaw7994 me dad used to work on them when I was growing up so spent a lot of time around them
When the Queen was born the RAF was still flying bi-planes. All of those aircraft were developed while she has been alive, And most have been developed while she was Queen.
Must’ve been incredible to see the evolution of aircraft
When i was 21 i met with Michael Caine in a Airport 1st class lounge waiting for a flight I came up to him and asked if i may shake your hand i am a big fan of one of your movies..As he reached for my hand with a smile he said Wut only one? I told him A few years back i seen the movie Battle of Britain and as a boy i loved WW2 action films He had said : Well my boy You have shaken my hand I shook hands with a Man called Stanford Tuck He was the wing leader at Biggin's hill and was the real person that fought over the sky's He Shook hands with the Queen when she offered her hand I had also met Major Gen, Adolfo Galland He also flew over the same sky's against Tuck And shook hands with Goring and Hitler But we will not hold that against him shall we? If you liked that movie have you seen a movie called a bridge too far? I think so i said ..Well i play a "Small" part in it ...I said I'm really sorry to bother you I know people must want pictures and ask questions He asked me what part of America are you from? I said I'm Canadian ...Right that explains why your so nice Well my lad have a safe flight ....class act
So true.
more then that, the lancaster, spitfires and others would have flown to protect london during her lifetime, she would remember that as few others do
@John Brighton nope. Also some of the aircraft aren't made by the UK, but were designed and produced by the US. It's still one hell of a sight. I love the Typhoon.
Imagine a ww2 vet hearing those sounds...

@@callumsherratt5436 how hard would you say it would be for me to be a pilot im wanting to sign up when i finish my a levels next year
I now get American patriotism. I always thought it was a bit manic but after watching this as a Brit you do feel an immense amount of pride. The U.S do things a bit differently, perhaps more aggressively(probably not the right word), but it's definitely good to have pride and patriotism for one's own country.
Its definitely good to be proud of your country - unfortunately, sometimes patriotism is twisted to follow individual believes and ideals that really don't represent the country.
@@Gaizhun theres a fine line between patriotism and nationalism
It’s perfectly fine to be patriotic. When I hear things about American exceptionalism and ultra nationalism that is a short step away from fascism.
@@michaelsims1160 People have been saying that since the end of WW2. The US had ample opportunity to hold the world hostage when they were for a brief 2 year period the only nuclear power on the planet. I guarantee this world would be a much more ruthless and horrible place if the US did not exist to keep some other countries from getting ideas of conquest.
@@lukaskaranikitas8065 They grabbed power for themselves. That’s all. Look how they stabbed Britain in the back during the Suez crisis.
oh the roar of the Lancaster. I can only imagine a 100 of them roaring overhead.
Just ask any citizen of Dresden, who lived through WW2 😉
I have been in the kancaster
They were doing 1000 bomber raids. ..imagine that.
Everyone gangsta till the bombs start falling
@Din Djarin Yeah I do, but the Dresden bombing and the firestorm was one of the most prolific and controversial
Let’s be honest here, *90% of us came for the Lancaster, Spitfires, and Hurricanes*
How is powerful for united state it not good brother.
True!!
came for the a330 but oh well, we're all different
I came for Eurofighter Typhoon
no i searcehd Turkish Stars and i found this
The Lancaster and the spitfires... the reason we are still free today. Gods speed 🙏
Big up Eastleigh, where the spitfire was first flown from
Still free? You mean still British. The idea that every war is fought in the defense of a nations "freedom" is a lie. If Germany won the war things would be different for better or worse who's to say.. but the fact of the matter is that most people would still be "free" even if their country lost a war. The establishment wants to hold on to their power so they demonize their enemies as much as they possibly clan to get the people on their side so they can retain their power. Nations rise and fall and some nations are worse than others but to believe that you are only free because you won a war is ludicrous.
For all we know if Germany had won the war they may have grown out of their racial obsession after a few generations just like the United States did.
@@CuttySobz its also likely that we would've been free but with a government that was more friendly towards germany (at least for ww1)

Not sure if a Valiant is left but I know that Vulcans and Victors are. They should of had an Attacking V of the V-Bombers, it was a missed opportunity.

What was the Z list actress Markle doing there ?
This is pretty sweet Great Britain should be proud of their air force they defended their skies from Nazi tyranny and defeated most of the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain. That last 100 formation was amazing.
Thank the pilots from other countries. British planes were good but british pilots were meh...
bruh if nazis were attack britain with full strength.bruhhh
um a ton of the pilots were polish and they were very good and proved battle ready
Poles shot down the most German planes during the Battle of Britain. And were the ones who taught the Brits how to fly head-on into a German bomber formation and then pull up and dive back down for another attack run, instead of attacking from the rear which was standard RAF doctrine and got a lot of pilots shot down. Funnily enough you'll find Brexiters today who hate Polish people and all they've contributed lol
@@user-ci7vu7eo9w that was their full strength...
I was working in the City when this happened, and took a long lunch break to go over to the Barbican, directly under the flight path and with a great view. There were hundreds of other office workers there, but I think most of us had no idea of the scale of the flypast we were about to see. The most impressive air display I have and perhaps ever will witness, and an awesome sight I'll always remember.
I booked the day off work to go there.
I cried when the Lancaster and Dakota flew over because my grandad was in the RAF and he passed away in 2015 so wasn’t able to watch it.
Miss him so much.

Just another reason why I'm glad Great Britain is America's Strongest Alley.
SNIPER SHOTGUN I think u would rather have Russia and China to be USA’s alley. They are much more stronger in both military power and economic power nowadays.
@hunkgod Firstly, what do u mean different values? I thought all people in all countries share the same value, which is make money. Secondly, I don't think USA has the right to claim China and Russia have human right violations when USA almost at every war after WW2.
hunkgod Man, do u know the whole reason why there is no one went to help the little girl? That is a very extreme example. Just like, I could say that USA’s cops are all racism. They are treating white better than black. They would kill black for no reasons. Would u agree on what I am saying? One extreme example does not represent the whole country. It is definitely true that USA has much more people use guns for crime and violence reasons, so does it mean US citizens likes war and violence more than any other countries.
On the other hand, the countries that USA send troops to are definitely judge by US claiming they did not treat their people well. However, I am not sure that is what other nations would agree on. Meanwhile, I am not quite sure the citizens in Middle East countries want US’s help anymore. US send troops into the war in Syria in 2012 still haven’t end today!

The F35 has got to be one of my favourite aircraft, and seeing it flyover like that was absolutely stunning! I let out a massive cheer for the F35's!!!!
In close quarters combat generally the older aircraft like an english electric lightning or a harrier will run circles around more modern aircraft. The f-35 just has more modern radar and the like whilst maintaining relatively high performance despite being vtol. The cost-benefit is definately terrible though
The Harrier was STOVL, the F35 is actually VTOL. The U.K. will use them in a STOVL capacity though. If you are still on the F35 hate train I would recommend looking up how it has done in recent years, most of the kinks have been sorted out and it is shaping to be an amazing aircraft.
i have no doubt it's an amazing plane it's more the budget concerns and broken american lobbying systems
Fair enough.
How would you know. Have any of you flown an F35? Thought not..
Where is Prince Phillip? Why was he not present with the Royal family? Also, it's a shame that the Vulcan is no longer in service and no longer available. Definitely one of the most beautiful aircraft the RAF ever had.
He has retired from all public duties as he is 97 and I don't think in good health. Agree it is a shame the Vulcan is no longer in service - beautiful plane.
Golf Hound there is one Vulcan still flying
Louis Greenleaf Nope, it is no longer certified to fly, as of 2015
Vulcan will live forever.... in our hearts... and now in this comment, too!
He was flying the Lancaster
Imagine if the Avro Vulcan would have been allowed to fly for this, that would have been incredible!
Honestly, the Eurofighter Typhoons are absolutely beautiful aircraft. Often underrated aesthetically
Makes me proud to be British too see all of our Royal Air Force turning 100 ....
The Queen, surprisingly enough, is probably one of the very few there who would be used to the sound of Lancasters and Hurricanes flying overhead.
The smile on the Queens face said it all she was delighted so well deserved. The combined efforts of all concerned deserve heaps of praise for an incredible event for us all

For those commenting negatively on the Royal Family appearance on the BBC version of the flypast, please know that the Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, was an active member of the British Armed Forces during WWII, and based in London. King George VI and the Royal family were instrumental in providing encouragement and support to the British population during the war, and particularly during grimmest times when England suffered greatly from the countless bombs being dropped by the German Luftwaffe, causing death and injury to many thousands!. So, grant her and her family the right to participate in enjoying the RAF's 100th anniversary. If it wasn't for the RAF routing the NAZI Luftwaffe in the famous aerial 'Battle of Britain '' in 1941, the result could have been catastrophic for the 'Free World".
the man with the green cortina Hey do you really have a green Cortina? 😁😁Coooool
I think it was only Edward the Abdicator
Scary thought.
Ifs and buts don't count. Could have, would have, should have! Hah!!
What if Britain, France and their allies had stomped on Hitler and his army when they first started their political aims like reoccupying the Ruhr in 1936, or marching into Austria in 1938 and their other seizures of land in the interests of lebensraum (sic?) Then millions of people would not have died in war and through other atrocities perpetrated by Hitler and his gang. I rest my case Mirco
@ mirko djuric
Er Hum.....dear sir, what you were just watching, you know, the establishment that is the oldest Airforce in the world, the *RAF* , they stopped Hitler from invading Britain. Even Hitler was not dumb enough to try an invasion without air superiority.
The Lancaster was simply majestic. Reminds me so much of our Flying Fortresses and Liberators. Are there any more than one Lancaster left?
7:39 The way that plane's engines howled as it flew over the palace......
Harrier, Mosquito, EE Lightning, Hawker Tempest, Vampire, so many great aircraft that weren't there...
and VULCAN too...
I think most of them have flying examples too. I saw a mossie here in Canada a few years back but I suppose none of them are still flown by the RAF which is kinda the point I suppose. Would have been great for XH558 to have been there though.
That Lancaster was just amazing. I loved the AWACS and the Globemaster too, very cool
Thanks Sophie for explaining the connection between The Royal Family and The Royal Air Force. That one's always stumped me.
My parents used to live in Greenford. Whenever there was a flypast at Buckingham Palace we could go into the garden after watching it on TV for our own show right over the house a few minutes later.
if people did some research they would know the red arrows show red, white and blue which is the correct order and not the french flag which is blue, white and red.
11:33 French flag (Edit: Depending on which way you look at it it's either a french flag or an upside down french flag)
Actually it just depends if you were standing north or south of it.
It's both depending on what direction you look at it.

8:33 that explains all the ufo sightings
Most UFO sightings these days are drones and model helicopters with night-flying lights on
