- Blimey! What a moment this was. Four mighty Rolls Royce Merlin engines roaring full tilt over our heads. Nothing finer ;)
Don't forget to watch out for the guy waving in the front of the Lancaster, he's sat in the bomb aimer position.
As I zoomed in close to the nose of the Lancaster bomber, I could see a hand wearing a white glove, waving to the airshow fans on the hill. Just brilliant! - Развлечения
REMEMBER THE GUYS WHO FLEW THESE PLANES ,, THEYD BE REALLY PISSED OFF WITH WHATS GOING ON NOW,,,,, WAS IT JUST A WAISTE OF TIME PUTTING THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY ,, WE ARE SO SHALLOW TODAY,,, GOT TO GET BACK THE COUNTRY THEY FOUGHT AND DIED FOR,,, RESPECT OUR HEROES
exactly right makes my stomach turn to think of the TOTAL disgrace the Gov has shamed our war heroes, its disgusting.!!!
Remember the 'MEN' not guys who flew these. Keep it English not American. Also in my country England we say goose 'Pimples' not the American bumps. Keep it accurate
Can you imagine the sound of a couple hundred of those planes flying over??
A couple hundred? Try a thousand PLUS force protection, not to mention the sound of all hell breaking loose beneath them!
John Smith WHOA! I never really thought about WWII like that! That's amazing!
yes a great plane but think of the brave young men that gave there life for our freedom we will remember them
Not to mention imagine being a German hearing a hundred of those Lancasters at midnight.
You could not imagine it. I bet there's still folk that live near RAF scampton that remember being little kids seeing and hearing all those lancs taking off and returning. What a sight to behold. I get goosebumps seeing Lancaster flying and hearing the Merlin engines. I get so overwhelmed with emotion
Know what sounds better than a Merlin? Four!
Pablo Verity plus one in the lead;)
Merlin 8 the two together flanked by 16 spits and hurris mixed
Honestly, it's beefier contra rotating brother, the Griffon, almost sounds better. Not gonna lie.
Daimler-Benz DB605.
@@tesstickle7267 nothing sounds better than a Merlin to a Brit. The sound of freedom 🇬🇧
I am German - thanks god I have been born after the war. The elegant Spitfire and Lancasters are beautiful machines and I am extremely happy they are no more used as weapons but to be presented as marvels of technology in airshows. I feel pitty for all these poor joung men that lost their lives in a senseless battle. All we can do is to put military machinery into display and never again into warfare.
well said my friend.
A noble thought, Deek, but as long as the human animal still possesses traits of greed, hatred and the need to possess and control other humans, there will always be a need for such weapons of destruction.
Kamikaze Yamamoto
"Human animal"
Oh boy.
Warfare is totally stupid but we humans seem to love to kill. We never learn.
Utter shit, both wars we had to keep you under our boot. It was not senseless.
Makes me very proud to be British seeing these beautiful planes in the sky 🇬🇧
💯👍🇬🇧
I cracked up at the guy waving from the bombardier's position.
There is no such thing as a Bombardier in the RAF. The man was waving from the Bomb Aimer's blister on the Lancaster. A Bombardier in the British armed forces holds the rank of a Corporal in the Royal Artillery.
simply called "the Bomb Aimer" surely...? Always referred to as the Bomb Aimers position in the nose, from where he called out to the pilot which way to move the plane until his bomb sights were on target
Brilliant I wonder if they waved during bombing runs
bill fern
Yes, they did Bill - they waved goodbye.
There were bombardiers in the RAF, you can hear the pilot during a Lancaster raid talking to him as they came under fire over Berlin in a video.
A bunch of special guys in Hamilton Ontario Canada have rehabbed an incredible Lanc and it flew over my home in Oakville, Ont for 10 yrs at maybe 5- 10,000 feet. It was incredible!!
The sound, the speed, the impact was fantastic… and drove my wife crazy as I sprinted out to see it EVERY time.
It never got old and i’d often call my dad so he could here it… he grew up being bombed in england and Merlins meant freedom and NEVER giving up.
it flew over my driveway in 2013 in windsor, ont
If you live in Hamilton, you get to see it quite often in the spring and summer. Those 4 Merlins give off an awesome audible warning of it's approach..............😉😁👍
Just to hear them literally brings tears to your eyes as it reminds you of all those so many thousands of young men who didnt come back.
And the many thousands of civilians they burned to death
@@HRHooChicken In summary: war is always bad
@@HRHooChicken life isn’t fair bud
HRHooChicken thats an ignorant comment founded in a lack of understanding.
@@user-rd1hd3ww1b bombing Dresden was an accident was it
The Spit is no doubt the most beautiful plane ever built. Watching it always brings tears to my eyes. And that sound!
Great sights and sounds from these fine British engineering marvels. The Spitfire wing design is thee most beautiful wing design there is, and to think this was designed and put into service in the 1940s when it was very much needed. Thanks for the comment 👍
The lancaster is just beautiful. It gives me a chill up my spine every time I see it. I remember what those heroes did in those machines.
+TechMantra Thanks for the comment, I'm hoping it's going to be at Farnborough this year
+TechMantra Sometimes I wish I still lived in England, the history, the people and my heritage.
I miss it all , my Jerusalem.
My great uncle flew these in WW 2. and they always brought him home. A truly great aircraft

That brought tears to my eyes. My father was a Lancaster bomb aimer, and seeing the crew member waving from my father's station made me think about what it must have been like for him.
massive respect to your dad my dad was in the Royal Marines in ww2 we have no real idea what those men really went through
Yes, my father was a tail and midupper gunner in Lancasters ( RAAF 460 SQD ). They have a Lanc and Spitfire on static display in Perth, Western Australia. Having a look inside and thinking od Dad at 15,000 ft up at night staring into the darkness for German Night Fighters brought tears to my eyes. If the Lanc had been in 460 colours I would have totally lost it....
My uncle held that position on a Lancaster, but sadly died on his first mission (as many did), aged just 21.
My Dad always maintained he came back to England at the end of the war, sat in the bomb bay of a Lancaster bomber.
WOW! You'd never get sick of that sound! Just beautiful
there is always some dickhead who wants to say outloud "ohh listen to that" spoiling any recording of the merlin melody
I bet you would have in Cologne, Hamburg or Berlin circa 1944. :)
@@nudibanches On the ground maybe....
I feel the same way about having a B-17 go over. But I'm a Yank.
@@sheilatruax6172 The RAF and RCAF Lancs have flown together, maybe one time we should invite a USAF B17 to come along sometime.
I live in Lincolnshire and that very plane has flown over my house numerous times, the Vulcan did too before it was grounded. I was lucky enough to see both the Canadian Lanc and ours fly together too a few years ago. Such distinctive sounds. It sends a tingle down your spine. Amazing.
I live in Toronto, which is about 60 km from Hamilton where ours is kept, so I'm lucky enough to have seen it fly by my home more than a few times. Would love to have the British one brought over to see them fly side by side here as well.
@@davidreichert9392 Hi David. Yea it would be terrific. You might not know but not far from here there is another Lancaster that is privately owned and that is slowly being made airworthy. I had a taxi run in it for my 40th birthday present some years ago, I was in the front ‘bubble’. Absolutely spine tingling experience. It’s a long interesting story if you Google East Kirkby Aviation museum you should find it. So that would make two airworthy ones here aswell as yours. Lots of RAF stuff here in Lincolnshire.
@@jfro5867 There was an attempt to make another one airworthy in British Columbia but I think that they've changed the plan to a static display. Next time I'm Blighty side I'll be sure to check it all out. Shame that the Aussies don't have their airworthy.
I live within sight of the Hamilton airport and I’m right under the departure path for runway 24…..so every time the Lanc takes off, I get a low altitude full throttle pass….and I come out of the house to watch ( and LISTEN ) to it go EVERY SINGLE TIME…..nothing sounds like 4 merlins. We used to have a Hawker Hurricane but it was destroyed in a hangar fire in 1993 along with a Spitfire Mark IX ( and 3 other aircraft ) that was on loan to the museum
So lucky
My Grandpa was a tail gunner in a Lancaster.
Survived all his mission, which was quite a feat.
I had a school project to do about WWII and he rufused to talk about anything that happened or went on from the day it ended.
True hero.
Miss you Gramps. ❤️
He saw things he'd never want to remember, let alone talk about.
My American grandfather on my mother's side told us stories as little kids with him and the U.S. Army always winning. When we were older we learned sometimes he'd still cry for his dead friends, while he was sleeping, according to Grandma. If I remember right, he was involved in the bitter fighting in the Ardennes ("the Battle of the Bulge") as an infantryman.
I solemnly salute your late grandfather from across the pond.
Nothing more beautiful than the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin.
DB605: allow me to introduce myself
My dad used to see these superb Lancs coming in to land at Gander, piloted skilfully by women who flew them from being newly built at Malton. They would stop to re-fuel before going across the pond to England. His crew kept the runways in good repair and clear of snow for these heavy birds. So many women played a big part in WW2 regarding aircraft production and handling.
Women back then were the goddesses to behold! I bet they married quickly to breed a great generation! Women of that caliber are the rarest treasure to have at your side! Today's women don't hold a matchstick.. But to fly those birds.. The sound of the engines makes my heart pound.
Yes and its both sad and disgusting that after the war, those samewomen weren't even considered or mentioned until many many years later by the government or the RAF>
I was very fortunate to have lived near biggin hill in the late 1960s and early 70s to see and hear those wonderful machines was an absolute honour especially on Battle of Britain day used to really look forward to that weekend each year.
Blimey so lucky to live there back then, you must have some fab memories with you, thanks for sharing
This beast flew right over my parents' house, flanked by a Spitfire and a Hurricane a few years ago. Was on its way to Yeovilton. The noise and the sight was breath-taking. My dad and I could hear them approaching and, being seasoned airshow vets, both of us instantly knew what it was, so we rushed out to the back garden to see them fly directly over us.
The Merlin makes a lovely sound. Four of them is just awesome!
the merlin engine is was and always will be the sound of victory
Absolutely
The sound of freedom as well.
Damn straight!
These are probably my two favourite aircraft. The Spitfire is undeniably beautiful and elegant, and the Lancaster seems so powerful in a way that very few planes were. Just imagine being privileged enough to get the chance to fly this thing again.
The sound of 4 merlins racing just gives me goosebumps, the Lancaster is a legendary aircraft and I'm honoured to have the luxary to see it fly
Its amazing that since WWII so many things have been lost, but the one thing you still go and hear is the sound of the Merlin engine at airshows... there's so much history in sound. I never really realised that until now.
The British are justifiably proud of these two great warplanes, and the Rolls Royce Merlin engine that powered them.
Imagine a thousand of these babies in one raid.....wow.....brings tears to my eyes that sound of 4 Merlins in close formation is just absolute sweet perfection
Merlin. The only sound that grabs you by the heart.
in 1949 i was stationed R.A.F Lindholm and the end of the runway stopped just short of the bawtry rd and i was just under the port wing as a lancaster flew over my head i was massaged from head to toe with four merlin engines at full power with tears in my eyes with the sound and the joy of it
Beryl Price : You have my unbounded envy!
@MichaelKingsfordGray What are you on about you utter loon? As for 'coward'; I put in 22 years service and had my wars. What about you?
@@bigbill74scots I still don't understand why he called you a coward. I mean, there is no need to name yourself your real name on youtube.
@@MausOfTheHouse Thanks buddy. I decide to just ignore people who appear to be mentally unwell. As with him.
@@bigbill74scots I think your service to your country is to be saluted. 20 years is, it's a third of your life. I salute you.
I heard a unique sound in the air while i was outside wrenching my 57 chevrolet so i dragged my head out from under the car and looked straight up at this Lancaster flying over our city. What a sight to see and even more beautiful was the sound of those motors.
My dad flews these air-sea rescue after the war, he was very moved to see this, thanks.
Wonderful! Recordings never do justice to the incredible sound of Spitfires or Lancasters. For me, they are the best sounding planes.
I will never tire of seeing a Lancaster, or the most beautiful man-made creation, the Spitfire.
As a child I fell in love with these aircraft and was obsessed with their role in ww2 (alongside the Hurricane and Mosquito).
We have the other one hear in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Love the sound! Absolute harmony!!
Yep, we saw the Canadian Lancaster flying alongside the British one here in Lincolnshire many times a few summers back -- including several sorties right over our house at relatively low-level. Awe-inspiring. Privileged to frequently see the British Lanc at low levels all over Lincolnshire (which is where it's based).
@@Nickmariners yes I saw them too side by side over south lincs. Rare to see two together.
flies over every few days too ;) I still bolt to the door every time I hear those engine.
@@trevorsimmons1487 I’m the same. Every Saturday and Sunday during the summer, I run out to the backyard and then run to the front yard just to see it (and the Dakota DC-3 they have). Sometimes they cast a shadow on my house. The sound is like rich music. (Oakville, Ontario)
@@christosyal5883, yeah seeing that Lanc do its low flyover during Remembrance Day ceremonies right at 11.00 a.m. always gave me goosebumps.
My dad was a tail gunner in the lank, got through the whole war, had a spell in hospital after a shot in the shoulder, his crew were lost and he finished his tour with another crew (didn't have too ). Emotional to see the Lankaster. My dad made it to 93, love him loads !
Huge respect for him. Thanks for the good comment 👍
Seeing a Lanc in flight and hearing those merlins roar almost brings tears to my eyes whether its the one from Hamilton Ont or the BBF flight... My late father done a complete tour (30 missions) on 550 squadron based at North Killingholme, as wop/ag it still makes me proud when I peruse his log book....
Oh Greg. You make me cry with your words. I cannot cope with the deafening roar of those engines without feeling HUGE pride in my fellow man. We must NEVER forget what our ancestors did...but on a more visceral level, the sound of those engines would make anyone go to war. You must be, and have every right to be, proud of your Dad. x
Kate Fox Thank U Kate for your kind words, and yes I am very proud of my Dad cheers
Greg
My great-grand father was an infantryman on the beaches at Dunkirk (and involved afterwards). I remember him saying before he died some 30 years ago now, that no sound had ever made him happier than the sound of the Merlin's of the Hurricanes overhead when they were trying to get off the beaches. (His platoon was the last to get off that stretch of beach). The sound of the Hurri, Spit, Welly and the Lanc settle my mind like nothing else.
Greg
Many of the british pilots who flew them long ago also have tears in their eyes,and its the same for our B-17s which are only 12 at last count here in the states.I love the british and how they like us sacrificed so much to so few.
and for that I say aye yea chaps and may you all enjoy your finest hour as you relive your nations history and see and remember those moments until death do we depart.
TheSirjohn2012 My Dad was very lucky to do the full 30 tour, and I loved to hear the stories that he told getting coned, night fighters etc and he did manage to get inside the Cdn Lanc when it was in Kingston Ont. but whe didnt know that their was a 550 squadron reunion every year until after he passed away... The B17 crews had a bad time daylight bombing and improved slightly when they got the full fighter protection from the Mustangs with drop tanks..Many thanks for your kind words.
.cheers
My dad took off like that in a Lanc 30 times during the war( he was the navigator), and they returned safely every time.
Great stuff 👍
He did his tour. That's a great achievement.
Yep, my Father was a tail/midupper gunner in Lancs, RAAF 460 SQR flying out of Binbrook.And he still managed to come back.
My father was also a navigator he did forty missions 156 squadron Pathfinder DFC he went as a volunteer from South America he very rarely talked about it and said how unnecessary it was like what is happening now!
What an awesome sight! From Canada here and I had one great uncle whom was a Spitfire pilot and another that was a Lancaster pilot.... Seeing these planes together kinda leaves me speechless... Thank you for sharing this video!
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. Pleased you enjoyed watching 👍
When you are watching the Lancaster bomber go over and the engines seem to sync............... Pure magical sounds
There's just something so sweet hearing the Rolls Royce Merlin engines
@soaringtractor no, YOU shut your mouth.
What's someone like you going to do? With nothing better to do behind a screen? 🤷🏻♂️
I could watch this every day,one minute of bliss ❤
Yes it really is
Absolutely love the sound of the Spitfire and the Lancaster. Have had the chance to see them both numerous times in person and get goosebumps everytime.
That was wonderful, the sound gives me goose bumps! Thank you....
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 those Merlin engines give me goosebumps every time I hear them.
A most glorious sound. Sends shivers up an down my spine.
Proud of the RAF’s history from then to now 🇬🇧
💯🇬🇧🇬🇧
Don't forget us Canucks. We flew all the aircraft you Brits did, and helped train all the aircrews across Canada to fly and fight around the wotld.
I hear the canadian one all the time flying over my house. Low passes everytime. On rememberance day a B-25 and a hercules fly together with the lancaster. awesome sight to see.
great must have been an amazing experience...what a great thrill to see a Spitfire and a Lanc take off overhead like that...
I managed to see the two Lancasters flying at Eastbourne, and when they spent a few days at my local airport..
What a fantastic sight and sound. It's a shame she will be heading home in a few days.
Thanks to all those involved in bringing "Vera" to the UK.
They flew over Lincoln Cathedral a few weeks back with 4 Hurricanes and 4 Spits.
Heard them coming from a mile away and flew right over. A sight I hope to one day see again.
John Smith
There is a hope that in 2015 we might get another visitor from Canada.This time it could be a Mosquito flying with the BBMF.
Nothing definite yet. But quite possible.
I lived near Southend on sea and one day I heard the gorgeous sound of Merlins. I looked up and the Spit, Hurri and Lanc were having to circle as permission to land was not granted. It was like having your own show. You have captured the identical sound and what a joy. My bucket list has the back seat of the spit on it but prob never happen. Oh well.....
Long may these beautiful aircraft fly in tribute to the many aircrews who failed to return. May god bless them all.
Sends shivers down my spine listening and seeing two of the worlds greatest fighter/bomber from ww2
Loved the gunner waving lolz
Yes I was wonderin if anyone else saw it
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! I just love the unmistakable sound of those big Merlins goin' overhead! Great lookin' air machines!
Right on! Pleased you got to enjoy this magic moment
Gives me a chill just hearing then. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
God that Lancaster is so awesome!!❤
I remember a few years ago two of them flew over my house on their way into Biggin Hill. That's a rare sight and absolutely incredible.
One of Those was "Vera" from Canada flown over to attend anniversary celebrations
Goose bumps ... I saw both Lancasters flying in the UK a few years ago. What an incredible sight and sound!
💯 We sure were lucky having the two fly together 👍
Woo Hoo! Aviation erotica ! I saw the Canuc Lanc at Geneseo NY back in 90, and it was incredible. Especially when flying with 4 B-17s and a B-24J. Wish I could see and shoot them together. Thanx for posting this, and I love that Spit in the post war scheme.
Perfection in aerial photo/video! Well done!
i love WW2 planes... great vid, greetings from Venezuela!
Two of the most beautiful - looking and sounding - flying machines ever conceived. It's a privilege to ever get to see the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight
Absolutely 💯
Can't even imagine seeing 500+ of these flying at one time. Great video
the lancaster always makes me smile. I dont know why. I'm looking at a deadly weapon. Still. its a thing of beauty.
I got flashbacks to a time and place I never even experienced. Super cool.
You too?
Sent shivers up and down my spine.
Good to know 👍
Thank you for sharing, it gave me goosebumps
Love to hear that, pleased you enjoyed it
Thank you for posting this. If we ever need a sound to be this country's anthem, then the Merlin must be a candidate.
That’s a real heart warming sight!
Such a wonderful sound. I miss being in the flight path of these mighty machines. I hope we get some air shows this year where we can appreciate them in all their glory.
💯👍
I live by an aircraft museum and whenever I hear them sounds, it takes me back to lower school being fascinated by the planes flying overhead
there will never be a plane as beautiful as a spitfire .
Burt Hulbert you can't beat the beautiful curves of a spit
Trans-Dimensional Cross Dressing Cabbage The 3rd at least until the clipped wing iterations of later Mks.
Burt Hulbert yeah I definitely prefer the look of the early mks
Trans-Dimensional Cross Dressing Cabbage The 3rd well now being a trans dimensional cross dresser you do have a superior sense of style.
As a Brit...I can confirm that the spitfire ain't got trash against the p51
Thank you for posting this I just love those old birds!
Welcome. Glad you enjoyed it
The Lancaster Bomb is close to my heart this video was 8 plus years ago its amazing that you knew who was flying that plane may he rest in peace and thank you for your service.
This is just what I needed to hear thank you. Beautiful noise.
Tremendous sound as it roared on over. Absolutely immense in person!
Pleased your ears enjoyed it 😉
@@bobsurgranny seen the red arrows in person and a different bomber flew over my hometown once for a display but it was a little far away to hear like this sadly.
We owe so much to the brave men who flew these planes. Also to all that served to fight for freedom.
Thank you from a grateful Brit.🇬🇧
What freedom would you be on about?
Yes, bomb Dresden with only civilians to get that "freedom" (Which you don't have btw.). "Bombing for peace is like f*cking for virginity"
What a privilege it must have been to see that in person!
Sure was!
And this man who's waving from the bomber! Made me happy af :D
Haha was a great airshow moment 👍
I was lucky to witness the British and Canadian lancs do a display at my old place of work a few years back. The sound of two in formation is wonderful.
Can't beat the sound of Rolls Royce Merlin Engines .
On par with Pratt & Whitney's Wasp. Absolutely marvelous sounds!
@MercyReaper By what scientific standards?
Amazing to see and hear these classic warbirds.
Not wrong there
Awesome video! Gives me goosebumps every time
Great to hear it gives you the goose pimples
Imagine the sound of several hundred of those approaching like they did on large bomber raids. Lancaster is such a beautiful plane.
There's only one thing that sounds better than a Merlin, and that's FOUR Merlins!
💯👌
Love the noise when behind the Lancaster :D
I dont think theres any better!/............if u come across it let me know! ..OH Maybe 16 spitfires ,
Never ever or will be a greater collection of interesting and beautiful aeroplanes in every configuration and duty purpose than the crafts of 1939-45....never
Loe it!I was so ill during an airshow that I had to go home but it wasn't far. I was so pissed off I had to miss the Lancaster, but it ended up flying near my house anyway. Absolutely great to see in real life
It is a very beautiful and dignified looking aircraft.. Reminds me of the sacrifice of so many young men of both the UK and the US to defeat Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in World War II. We should never forget them. If one of them were 25 years old, they would look at him as an old man. You think not so, I remember as a 20 year old in Korea having a squad leader who was 25 and a Vietnam vet. He seemed light years beyond us in maturity, perspective, and life's experiences. Now that I look back, I realize he was young like us, but what a man at the time.
'...the UK and the US...'You guys didn't do it alone, you know.For example, who else hit the beaches on D-Day?
Unfortunately they died for the shit we live today, and today hundreds of thousands are also dying because of the same monsterminds.
To John Johanson: The British people owe much to the Canadians, especially those who flew in the Royal Air Force and those Canadian soldiers (3rd Infantry Div) who stormed Juno Beach.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Much appreciated.
We (the British people), appreciate the sacrifices of your countrymen to defeating Fascism and helping us in our hour of need.
Have a good evening.
im replaying this just for that awesome engine noise!!
Nothing beats it
Absolute respect to the incredible camera skills man. That is so hard to pull off and you even zoomed in on the guy waving.
Thanks. Yes you only get one go at recording something like this. Glad you enjoyed it and appreciated the camera work
To be honest, looks and sounds more modern than I expected. Nice video.
Respect to all heroes in these planes who risked their lives during IIWW.
Absolutely 👍
9 Years later and it shows up in my Recommendations...... But to think that Hundreds of these Bombers took off at once, 4 Merlins are enough for the shivers, I can't even begin to imagine a single mission for them.
Goosebumps hearing that..nice filming mate...
fjbutch Yep, me too!
Thanks. Glad you got the goose pimples
This flew over our town yesterday, almost over my head and so low. Awesome 👏🏻
Nice, even better out of the blue when not expecting it 👍😎
Good old Lancasters used to fly around Cape Town until relatively quite recently. Flying out of Ysterplaat AFB they were used as maritime recon. I lived in milnerton and often had them fly 60m overhead on the landing run. That is a sound I will love for ever and never forget.
and to think those things would fly in huge numbers at night... world war 2 was truly mind blowing.
I'm slightly more wowed of that fact for B17's, which were more heavily armed, older, slower and flew in a formation that was bigger than the biggest british formation of lancaster, halifaxes and lincolns!
I still like to say the Lancaster is the scariest looking of them all, its massive and looks less like a bomber, and more like death. xD
peepeevagi Different philosophies. Lancasters had a larger bomb load.
peepeevagi The Lanc's flew deeper into enemy territory, carrying a much larger bomb load and no co-pilot or fighter escorts. But, both the USAAF daylight bomb raids & RAF night time bomb raids were carried out by some of the bravest, selfless people to whom we all owe a sincere thank you to.
Idiot child.
Essen and Dresden a had 1,000 bomber raids
wonderfull! Thanks!
Also cant wait to see two of these beauties flying together this year over the UK. Going to be something you wont want to miss.
No goosebumps? No soul!
Just beautiful.
💯
Great bit of camera skill, well done.
You'll be happy to know there will be 2 flying Lancasters side by side this year in England The one from Canada is going overseas in the fall
Oh, that sound is the most incredible sound to ever hear it breaks your heart to think they flew out and many did not return so sad but you can't take away that sound it lives forever in our hearts.
