I remember hillwalking in the Ochil Hills, Scotland , back in the early nineties when the RAF would do their low level training and I will never forget the thrill of seeing an aircraft coming towards you in silence only to hear the boom followed by the noise of the engines as they disappeared into the distance. I'm not an aircraft enthusiast but that was one of the most impressive things I have ever seen! Wonderfully filmed, great job.
I used to work for a tree felling contractor in the Thirlmere Valley. You can see some of the woods we used to work in on the right of this shot. Several times a day aircraft would buzz past and quite often we would be working above the altitude they were flying. We used to use radios to communicate with the guys on the machines down at the bottom of the valley and it wasn't uncommon to have to wait a couple of minutes for a stream of F15s or Typhoons to scream past, just so you could hear each other on the radio again! Best job I ever had
Holy sh!t! What a great video. May be the most beautiful spotting local I have ever seen. And to get that F-35 to fly DIRECTLY over your skull at such close range is stunning. Thanks for beginning and ending your video with the highlights!
HOLY S***!!! That has to be one of THE best opening pieces of footage I’ve seen on here in years!!! I hope you had your brown undies on mate! 😂👍🏻 Fantastic!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Wow, would love to see the images you got?!!. Just so happens myself and fellow workers build the F35 Aft fuse and Empanage (all variants, Ctol, Stovl & CV) at Samlesbury BAE systems in Lancashire. I would be so proud to see them if I was stood there!! More than likely I'll of had a hand in building those very aircraft you saw, having worked on F35 for 14 years now.
@Mickey P, We thank you for your great work. These fighters are incredible, and a technological force for freedom across the globe. You're a patriot for freedom. 🇺🇲🇺🇦 Glory to God, Victory for Ukraine, Rise Free Nations!

It's some years ago now when I was out walking across the top of Win hill in the Peak District. I looked down into the valley and could hardly believe what I was seeing. It was a 4 engined aircraft that was actually flying at a much lower the level that I was at. It was of course the Lancaster bomber which was having a practice run for the Derwent Dam flyover the following week. It seemed to be flying very slowly and surprisingly quietly unlike todays jet's. Unforgettable though.
Awesome photography work. I zoomed in on my screen 2.5x and the jets still remained in the centre of the shot until out of screen. Must be quite the sight seeing them first hand.
Amazing 😃. Must've been a lot of fun. I saw a few jets here and there when I lived in Carlisle and used to go walking in the Lake District but never anything quite like that!
My partner and I were in the lake District on 18th January and saw these 4 aircraft from our viewpoint on Castle Head overlooking Derwentwater. They made 3 passes and were spectacular. They were followed by a Hercules which made only one pass a few minutes later at pretty low altitude. Possibly on the same day as the weather was the same. Awesome photography, very clear. Would love to see some of your stills 👍.
They fly over Ludlow Shropshire, they use the huge church spire as a marker, impressive. Iv seen 2 Spitfires fly together up Lake Windermere and they banked right in front of me to go down a valley, that equally blew me away. Actually iv seen them quite often while travelling along the M6 in Cumbria.
Insanely beautiful. I remember walking in the Lakes with my parents 35 years ago. We were in a pass between peaks and two jets (Tornadoes I think) flew through the same gap. It was funny cos my mum and aunt fell over cos they were so close!
I had the pleasure of witnessing a flight session with RAF in this exact location. I worked for a PFE manufacturer which was holding a formal test session for flight clearance. Being there in person was awe inspiring. The agility of these aircraft is so much more impressive in person...and the noise was enough to give you a stiffy! 🤣
A friend had an isolated cottage in mid Wales, with outside loo where you could sit & admire the scenery. Training jets would approach from the valley behind: no laxatives needed 😊
@@garywalling4341 They're unfortunately having to "disturb" your home, in order to become highly trained and capable of facing the potential threat from wherever it may come. You don't get to choose where the next conflict may occur, or who the aggressor might be, so you have to be trained and ready for any possibility....
Maan ... I envy you.. ofcourse it takes lot of time and great effort.. but still you can acces this... even with great nature around you while you are waiting :)
Awesome footage I have lived in the Lake District my whole life and I always found at hilarious when people moved here and complained about the fighter jets 😄
You could remind them about what happened in 1940, when the RAF saved Britain from Hitler, thus *still* allowing them to enjoy the beauty and benefits of the Lake District as it is *today* Adolf Hitler actually planned to build a residence in the Lake District, once his invasion of England had succeeded. You might care to mention that too......
@@stephaniekent8483 Seemingly not. I haven't heard of any instances of bird strikes in all the decades the RAF and others have been low flying training in the Lake District. In recent years though, both drone flying and paragliding has become more prevalent. I imagine paragliding is permitted with the relevant clearances and permissions, but drone and model aircraft flying has been banned by the National trust on land they own or manage for decades.

That first shot was seriously impressive
Had to be there video doesn't do justice
@@anthhurson205 Instant spine chill :)
What part of the lake strict was this, I go up there most months and see them on some hikes I go on. This part of the lakes is next level..
@@bazboyevo9 thirlmere next to dam
@@anthhurson205 thank you…
Absolutely tremendous! The first shot was almost a once in a lifetime.
It sure was.
Just love the contrast between nature and man's ultimate machine. Incredible filming. Awesome!

Well done Mr Hurson. I have hiked all through the Lake District and it is breathtaking to watch these planes fly over good on you.
It's just one of them things you have to be there to hear them
Yea they are I have been in Windermere on hill of oaks working they are brilliant..thank you

The first pilot saw you and wanted to make your day.

He sure was giving it some beans
Were they intentionally flying at the camera in some of the shots?
@@Eternal_Tinsel they were for sure as they use people in the hills to lock there sights on!! all practice !

Is this in the uk? Where is it there’s no info in the title or description.
@@MusicalMemeology "Lake District" duh?
Four Merlins quiet? Dad reckoned they were noisy. He had the back seat for trips to Berlin.
Freeze frame at the 2:44 mark, the "bird" has a gorgeous halo silhouetting it. GORGEOUS!!!
Awesome photography work. I zoomed in on my screen 2.5x and the jets still remained in the centre of the shot until out of screen.
Must be quite the sight seeing them first hand.
WOW! That is incredible! That first shot!!! 😳 Goosebumps just watching it on my screen, being there must be unreal!
Pause that at 7 seconds. What a tremendous picture. Right place, right kit right time.

Insane is the right word for this! What an amazing set of passes, some absolute gems in there!!
Thanks you
Great job Anth. Very scenic backdrop 🤙
Thanks 👍
G’day there, a moment in life you’d never forget. Thanks for posting this 👍
Not sure why this came up in my feed, but that’s quality mate. Reminds me of a good old fashioned air show where you used to get close to the planes!
What a cool sight in such a beautiful landscape and excellently shot, thank you, 👍👊✌️🌍.
Superb filming Fantastic 👍👍👍

Thanks mate
Wow , that first one was so impressive!! Brilliant video 👍🏻
Amazing! Thanks for sharing! I bet the photos turned out superb!
Thanks so much! 😊
Crazy man, glad your getting recognition with these shots
Just imaging Wordsworth sitting at the lakeside composing his famous poem….
….. “I wandered lonely as a cloud….. “ “What the f#@k was that!,,🫣
Wonderful footage, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Some of the photos must look frigging brilliant!!!
There alright 😂
That really was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!🙏👍🏻👌🏻
thank you for sharing this with us - we at wastwater hear the first one then a brief glance of the second -sure do rattle the windows
they were rippin through there, blindin' catches, especially that first one
That’s some awesome footage you’ve caught there!!!! Fantastic!!!
Rather jealous....
Thirlmere at its absolute best.
Brilliant video.... thank you 👍
Thanks 👍
Holy shit. Absolutely stunning. The scenery, the F35s, the sound. That's made my day. Excellent. Are the photos on sale?
I've never sold any before to be honest
@@anthhurson205 People would definitely buy them. That would look great as a framed A2 picture on the wall
Yeah I might get one printed see how it looks
Unbelievable. I sit with my headphones on volume full blast
There loud that's for sure
Stunning scenery as usual.
A friend had an isolated cottage in mid Wales, with outside loo where you could sit & admire the scenery. Training jets would approach from the valley behind: no laxatives needed 😊
Can't imagine how well trained and concentraed those pilots are. They are barely milli seconds away from the obstacles seen the speed of aircrafts.
Superb photography of the ultimate big toys for big boys.
Awesome cinematography. Wondering what the local wildlife makes of the fly through.
Awesome video. 👌
Jesus, that first pass. I’d have pee’d my pants and been delighted about it.
Great set!!
That first shot 👌👌
Super cool 😎
Just watched Top Gun Maverick. Go on to youtube and this is the first video I see! unbelievable
Good ole boys playing with their new toys.
Yeah, the war's on the flat plains of Eastern Europe, why are they disturbing my home?

Great footage, well played 👍🏻👍🏻
The SNOW makes it even better!
The sound they make is like a high speed symphony...
Cracking first pass!!
My word, the first plane really put on a show. How close did it get😁
Closer than usual I know
Been watching Maverick.
The snow got too him.
The position of that first one, you lucky duck!
at first i thought this was fake... now i realise i had it at 1.25 speed haha! crazy cool shots
Some nice shots - but as someone who lives in the Lakes, I know the sound is almost silent. To say it's deafening is an understatement.
Wow, that’s awesome! Have you got some kind of rig with three or four cameras attached, all those lens lengths?
No just the dslr with 600mm lens and mobile phone attaches to it which takes the video
No 4 was the one that was keeping it nice and low. Good job…
Sitting here with my mom watching this while she listens to a church service. The organ music fits somehow.
Maan ... I envy you.. ofcourse it takes lot of time and great effort.. but still you can acces this... even with great nature around you while you are waiting :)
Right place right time awesome! those guys were pushing on 400 knots about I would say.
Won't be far off
Beautiful Thirlmere.
The need call-signs. The first must be Maverick, the next 2 I'm not sure, but the last is Captain (s)Low
Awesome, thank you.
Loving the rumble
That was some sight, wish I was there to see it !
Stunning video, well done! I bet it was a bit tricky getting up the hill!
Tremendous footage, thank you
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.. a whole squadron
That is what they do.. can't really be quiet :D
Thanks for sharing
You lucky bugger, that was farkin' amazing!
Did you post the stills, any links?
Awesome footage
I have lived in the Lake District my whole life and I always found at hilarious when people moved here and complained about the fighter jets 😄
Same at airports also 😂
@@anthhurson205 "Oh cool its so cheap" "damn airport why couldn't they build it elsewhere"

Really want to see the still of the first one... he must of spotted you and out on a show
That last shot......Wow.
Was this filmed on Tuesday 17th Jan? Fantastic capture on the 1st F35
Great tracking an repositioning!!
Damn that’s just cool
Clearly played to you on that first shot!
Beautiful shot. 👍
Talk about being in the right place at the right time, once in a lifetime shot
Cool.👍
Beautiful and stunning!
the audio on this is unusually great
Another great video, and a further illustration of why it isn't a good idea to fly drones in the Lake District.
bird strike is far more of a concern lol
Made me think of the Ospreys there and elsewhere.

Excellent shots!
Is there anyway of keeping track of when they're coming through?
Would sort of defeat the purpose of a stealth fighter if they advertised it lol
No. The general public are not normally made aware of planned training flights.....
The English Star Wars Canyon 😉
Nice!
So picturesque!
This is what Top Gun 2 should have looked like. Not those old rusty f-18’s from the 90’s
Great shooting! Looks hard to pick them up.
Must be epic to fly that beast
