Through the Co mitte of Almoners of Christs Hospital, back in the late 70s. I was going to share this video with them, but you saved me the work of research where the reside. Thank you for that. As a matter of fact Barnes is always remember with great respect in my household. In fact on rememberance sunday, my late father always bought an extra pint of beer , which was put on the mantle piece in the local pub. I never did find out who drank them after we left..
My own more-direct knowledge of Barnes' work was related to radio astronomy. He designed the guidance mechanism for the equatorial mounts for both the Parkes radio telescope in Australia, and the Algonquin 47m radio telescope in Canada. It used, like the dambusters mechanism, a tightly-collimated beam of light.
I loved ❤ this project James, and I'm just about to go watch Tom's video. I also think your Lancaster deserves a rebuild and some more scale detailing, it has such an evocative presence in the sky that I'm sure I'm not the only one that'd love to build one or even buy a kit designed by you.
Thanks! I'll definitely be finishing up the plans in the next few days. The Vintage Model Company might be bringing out a foam kit of this plane next year so watch this space :)
So much grandchildren could make their grandpa's happy when they build this together with them and actually bounce some barrels over a local water surface.
@@Project-Air Great news, it'll sell like hot cakes. Definitely a huge gap in the market for a decent sized foamy Lanc and for a rough and ready build, your design is excellent. It wouldn't take much tweaking to bring it up to something beautiful. Well done!
Also, I am grateful you had that "momemt" of rememberance! Perfect! Wow! Matt you are a such a genrous person! So humble and magnanimous that you would run a camera for someone else while being so "big" yourself. It's not every day that an Oscar winner would be a camera operator and transportation for new unknown actor. Some great engineering here. Very impressive work. One of my favorite stories from the war.
Thanks for watching! Here's some more stuff for you to check out. Build video! ☺️☺️ 👉 ruclips.net/video/HzkgCq5GWP0/видео.html Plans! 👉 www.projectair.co.uk Just to note, this was a project to investigate the engineering and dynamics involved in skipping a projectile on water when dropped from a moving aircraft. Although it took inspiration from history, it was not intended to celebrate war or the Dambusters raid (and its tragic impacts).
i had a idea for a video. im curious how many stages you can put on a model rocket. i have found some people that have done 3 or more. but how many do you think is the max??? lets find out.
Thank you, gentlemen. Nov. 11th is also a very somber day for us Americans, as we pray for the souls of our fathers and brothers, and those of our dearest allies in the UK, lost in the Great War. As a retired US Army Veteran, I carry a poppy every day, all year, refreshed with a new one, on the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.
A British dambuster coming down using a German Stuka sound. Priceless. Greetings from Germany. Amazing project. And btw, the Edertalsperre is only a few kilometers away from where I live ...
I've just watched your video a year after the event. Very well done lads. I really admire your ingenuity. Oh and your behaviour too. I didn't hear a single expletive even when the lanc crashed. It might interest you to know that the average age of the crews on the dam busting mission was just 21 - lads like you. To me that's profoundly moving. Well done again. Hats off to you all.
10:39 Side note: That was the diving sound of a Junker Ju 87 Sturzkampfbomber with the Jericho Trumpets, and a Lancester certainly would not have been able to make such sounds, but the sound is almost always used for diving planes of other designs than the Ju 87.
Guys you are a credit too your generation, was really taking back when you took a minute out to honour ex military personnel. Great video and fantastic work, gentlemen always keep doing what your doing 👍👍
It took the designer of the bomb several months to get the speed, height and distances between the aircraft and target for it to work right. Duct tape in the TAG and USAAF was used to fix airframe battle damages, here in the state's we orginally called it 400 MPH Tape.
Three musketeers. I admire Tom's work of engineering. Vintage model aircraft produce some great looking planes. This video is nailed it with all the sciences and excitement involved. Cheers guys.
James, I've really enjoyed your channel but watching this made me realise that not only are you a skilled aviator, but you are a very talented film-maker as well. Your editing of the final successful slow-mo footage to the soundtrack was superb. Congratulations on this project!
My Dad who spent WW2 involved in the development & production of the specialised explosives which made Barnes Wallace's bombs possible was later involved in the award of an honorary degree to Barnes Wallace, so I have followed all of his ideas including the aircraft recovery from Loch Ness with great interest (I once slept on a yacht moored at the western end of Loch Ness as we travelled along the Caledonian Canal).
Great to watch! My dad was involved in getting Barnes Wallace an honorary degree, because dad worked on the explosives which were critical to this mission!
Great stuff to watch, guys. Reminds me of when I worked for the Wolfson Unit at Southampton Uni making models for hydrodynamic and wind tunnel testing. Keep it up! This is what British inventions are based on. This kind of work with models. It all starts here, from hovercraft to hydrofoils to rockets, and great to watch. What's the next project? A flying car?
Looks absolutely amazing! In future you could try adding a gyro to make the approach more stable and for more fun you could create a floating test target like the real thing.
Makes you appreciate how difficult the original mission was, holding a Lancaster at 60 feet while flying at 220 mph let alone AA guns shooting at you. Well done, real engineering in action.
First, this kid makes some really good videos. Second, getting 3 solid bounces for his 'bomb' was really excellent work. Nice plane, nice bomb release mech, nice work.
Also, while you might not think so, low level flying is actually quite difficult. For instance, the things you can do to try and gain more altitude, actually tend to cause a loss of altitude. The change in the horizontal stabilizer actually increases drag. And if you don't simultaneously increase engine power, you'll go down, not up.
The superglue on the camera lens can be dissolved with acetone, if the lens housing isn't made out of ABS plastic. I suggest using cottom swaps to wick on acetone on and then taking it off again with more cotton swabs.
That's awesome, and remembrance day was a great day for that. Imagine the stress an anxiety of those who did this mission IRL with a real plane and probably only had one shot at it!
Fantastic landings! That moment really was a moment... I don't think anybody would have minded a full minute of the view and silence. we can always FF if need be. That would have actually added quite a lot to the feel of the video....
It is watching videos like this that has made me want to get back into the hobby after nine years absence. Outstanding work gentleman and a very entertaining video.
Of course the actual bombers had a triangulated light system to judge the perfect altitude from which to drop the barrel bombs. Maybe you could drag a stiff wire or something underneath the plane to judge your optimum height for skipping the barrel.
I found myself on the edge of May seat wanting this to work for you guys so bad when it finally worked I was excited for you guys wow really top notch 👏
Job guys I think you all need a better landing spot wider runway would be nice. That's gotta be really difficult to try to hit that small runway. But you pulled that you guys pulled it off good job.
You should drop it from really high and utilize the Magnus effect to get it going really fast and basically horizontal to the water. It's spinning in the right direction.
If you changed the barrels surface to be far more smooth or far more rough, would it bounce better?Usually for wheels on the ground, you can go for slim wheels that are more effecient, but has less grip, or wide wheels for more grip, but require much higher energi use.and would putting a gyroscope in the barrel make it bounce almost forever?
As a flight enthusiast bloak form the US.... seeing the young men of today taking an interest in not only aviation but history's accomplishments sure is great for the future. if you havent seen please check out Drago bush plane and its owner, mike who has an RUclips channel . what he says in his intros describes what you r doing you james to a tee! dont ever give up what your doing brother
Would be cool to see an updated one of these, have an RC boat tow something into the water to use as target practice, and get the plane painted up to look like the real thing.
Feels like a flight test video but even better. Nice work lads. Really love the 3-D printed parts you used. Very nice touch. Probably couldn’t have been done without it. Look forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future.
Yeah, well the Gents most known for these munitions didn't have the best weather either. 😉 Great work gents. I keep rewatching this series every six months or so. It's just that enjoyable. Keep up the great work! And thanks for making an access point to your previous renderings and build prints.
Great job on the Lancaster! I just started building Flite Test planes and its impressive how well they fly. Lotta fun. Helped me get back in to RCing after years away. Can't wait for the plans. That would be very cool. Just earned a sub! Cheers from across the pond!
Excellent video ! What happened that day must have reflected what happened during testing the real bomb in the war (apart from the drone thing obs)...well done. Great sound to the model as well ! :-)
I’ve shared your project with Barnes Wallace’s colleague’s family...well done team.
Prof. Holland, whilst I never knew Barnes's family, I knew him well through my representation on the Committee of a

As good or better than Flite test projects. The design of the Lancaster available for free tiles off the net . Keep up the good work.
Came here from Tom Stanton's channel, great job, really enjoyed it.
Thanks!
great job guys

These lads show the spirit and ingenuity of the men and women who worked on these projects almost 80 years ago. A credit to their country.

Cool, thanks!
You guys are awesome! Showing the mishaps makes it so much more relatable when I remember the planes I've tried building. All part of the experience!
I imagine the struggles and challengers were a lot similar to how OG dambusters trained to get the technique down.
Or the dam busters in Bomber Crew...
Absolutly the best rc-project and on YT since David Windestal was last seen on FT! Nice work!! :)
David Windestal's has always been a huge inspiration for me, so thanks for mentioning that. ☺️

Epic effort! I had a little smile too at you doing this not so far away from the original practice grounds for 617Sqn.
Had to watch this again! I saw the documentary on the WWII Dam Buster and you guys did a great job!
Nice to see this link between History and technology. RC-modelling is not only a leisure. Many thanks for those shared video !
I did watch a documentary about the WW II dam buster project, so that made your video a lot of fun, and very meaningful. Thank you blokes!
Absolutely bloody brilliant. Found this after finishing the James Holland book about the Dambusters. Very gratifying stuff, as I'm into RC planes.
Half way through the book and it’s pretty good 👍
Great to watch!
My dad was involved in getting Barnes Wallace an honorary degree, because dad worked on the explosives which were critical to this mission!

Looks absolutely amazing! In future you could try adding a gyro to make the approach more stable and for more fun you could create a floating test target like the real thing.
Isaac Wilkinson yeah maybe, although I don’t think it would have helped the result much, we were fairly stable already and I like keeping it simple 😁
Most excellent gentlemen. I enjoy watching your steps of progress in your projects. You've taught much to this old man.
Barnes Wallis is smiling in his grave.
Be interesting to see a Mosquito built, and drop a Highball at a foam board ship...
Makes you appreciate how difficult the original mission was, holding a Lancaster at 60 feet while flying at 220 mph let alone AA guns shooting at you. Well done, real engineering in action.
I LOVE the old stories of those AMAZING pilots!! Thank you for doing this!
Absolutely love the Lancaster, was able to see one fly when I was at Abington air station, great job
Really cool to watch! Congrats on your achievement.

This is exceptional. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. And the video production is very good as well. (View count seems unreasonably low imo.)
It was a back spin that done the job finally! I remember my grandfather telling us the story they went through in the RAF durn this!
OUTSTANDING!!
Hopefully the Lancaster will be seen again. Be a great FT kit.
That's awesome, and remembrance day was a great day for that. Imagine the stress an anxiety of those who did this mission IRL with a real plane and probably only had one shot at it!
The on-board gopro shots are great because you can hear the propeller drone. 4:32
100s Guys you have the "Right Stuff" vision, tenacity, enjoying the project while you did it. Keep it up Chaps you all make a good team!
A tribute to Hoppy Hopgood's sacrifice when Lancaster M for Mother crash at the Mohne Dam.
Fantastic landings! That moment really was a moment... I don't think anybody would have minded a full minute of the view and silence. we can always FF if need be. That would have actually added quite a lot to the feel of the video....
Great vid! And I do very much appreciate you stopping for a moment in honor of amenities day, or Remembrance Day. Cheers!
Totally brilliant ! I cheered when you launched it over the water 🥰🥰
This is simply fantastic - you’ve achieved one of the things I’ve been dreaming of everyday for the last 45 years! Thank you!
It is watching videos like this that has made me want to get back into the hobby after nine years absence. Outstanding work gentleman and a very entertaining video.
Of course the actual bombers had a triangulated light system to judge the perfect altitude from which to drop the barrel bombs. Maybe you could drag a stiff wire or something underneath the plane to judge your optimum height for skipping the barrel.
I found myself on the edge of May seat wanting this to work for you guys so bad when it finally worked I was excited for you guys wow really top notch 👏
Well done guys I never gave much thought doing the bouncing bomb thing with rc ,yea really cool .
Thanks for the lovely video guys and for the effort thanks Matt James and Tom 😊😊😊👍👍👌
absolutely brilliant fellas , that was amazing !!!!!!
Nice work fellas. Enjoyed the video and the project!
The whole project was amazing! My favourite bit was actually the retrieval with the hydrofoil (really sleek design there!)
OHBOY. this channel has just my type of content! keep up good work!!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy my stuff!
Nice work! Bounced better than I expected
I think everything needs to be bigger = more energy = more power and i like the lancaster. Now i want to build my own! I love what you are doing!
That beats most of the times that I've tried to skip a rock. Outstanding! Too bad the plane broke though because that was a truly beautiful plane.
This may be your best video yet! Loving the documentary style. Top quality!
Great video! It catches all the fun you guys had and forwards it to us to feel it.
Job guys I think you all need a better landing spot wider runway would be nice. That's gotta be really difficult to try to hit that small runway. But you pulled that you guys pulled it off good job.
You should drop it from really high and utilize the Magnus effect to get it going really fast and basically horizontal to the water. It's spinning in the right direction.
Top effort lads, this is an epic broadcast
Really nice that you included remembrance day in the Vid.
Wow what a project. Love your tenacity to make it happen. Great footage BTW.
Nice one lads👍🍻.
Got to respect those boffins back in the day (Barnes Wallace)
brilliant , please repair the Lanc , its beautiful to see fly
cool collaboration. The dambuster story is very interesting

what a nice bunch of fellas great progress love the plane and you did bounce the bomb so thumbs up
Hey man you should totally make a variable sweep wing aircraft like the mig-23 or F-14 tomcat
Really enjoyed the video
object 906 good idea!
Amazing flying and mechanism. Well done all.
Literally my favorite youtubers all in the same video
Smashing video as always Mr Whomsley. Especially enjoyed when you stated "landing is where it really got spicy" 😄
Love how you took time to cut out the windows in the fuselage.
Terrific video! Excellent engineering!
Congratulations gentlemen!
Would be cool to see an updated one of these, have an RC boat tow something into the water to use as target practice, and get the plane painted up to look like the real thing.
Incredible…. And a black armband on the wing! Rates alongside Top Gear specials.

Your dramatic pianist doing the chords in time with the bounces needs more credit
They retimed the video to match the chords I think. You can see it speeding up and slowing down.
Wow there’s a lot covered in this video that tom skimmed over in his
But I guess only then it would be fair for James....
Came here from Tom Stanton's channel, you have great ideas! I had fun watching this! : )
Can't believe you managed to pull this off!!!
