- It was Friday, the 13th and not at the workshop..... so why not have a ride over to the Yorkshire Air Museum which is at the former RAF Elvington, home of 77 Squadron , Bomber command and two of the French Squadrons called 346 Guyenne and 347 Tunisie.
I have been a few times over the years, my last visit around 2016 so we didn't cover every single thing to be seen but we did look at the more interesting.... from an engine from Concorde to the Handley Page Halifax Friday the 13th, there was no bad luck when it came to this Halifax that completed 128 Operations! Sadly the original was scrapped but the museum have a replica which started from a section of a mkII fuselage that had been used as a chicken coop!
Great walk around, thank you for sharing!
Great. Well worth a look. See you all soon.
Ah memories !😊
Brilliant vlog top marks 👏👏👏👍🏴
That watch office looks fantastic, great job, great furniture and equipment, makes you wonder where they found it. Great it survived. You forget about the importance of weather measuring and the part played. Amazing place that watch office. I remember you could still get those Osram red blulbs in the 1980's
Looks like a fantastic place
I've been here numerous times. This is a superb museum and well worth a visit, if only to experience the original buildings and layout of a WW2 RAF and French base (yes, the French were based there during the war).
Wow, what a great memory to that aircraft and its crew
Great collection of vehicles too, people often forget the support required for aircraft.
Wow look at the watch tower and accomodation. That looks fantastic
What that view from the turret looking in does show how just one round could potentially make it all the way to the pilot! The trolleys great , complete with wheel splashers or fenders
Wow the size of that "Tallboy" , The Olympus engine, great engine, also used in ships. Wow how aircraft changed from the BE2.
Lovelly old crew bus, even that looks like a bomber from the front!
What a thing of beauty, The Halifax. I love aircraft name, like "The Mirage, Ligtning, Vampire" all things to install an idea of terror or power. But our bombers "The Lancaster, Halifax,Witley" installed an very different perspective of britishness.
At college they taught us how thina cylinder wall can be for a pistom, when you look at the piston bores, they are quite thin.
The Dakota DC3 and Dehavilland Comet, when planes looked like birds.
so cool
Is that the front doors banging in the wind?
Is it me or does that Ikara missile not look like a small version of an English Electric Lightning!
Love to do some evps there
I womder what the swastica symbolised? Downed fighter?
That was a bit odd losing the audio in the French officers mess
RUclips didn't like it so had to remove it
Ah copyright pain in the backside lol
Ah...."Killroy was ere"!
Harriers......why did our government get rid of them. A deployable aircraft that requires no runway if necassary. The americans gobbled ours up! Great to see the pilots name one the side as a permanent fitting dedication. Its hard to imagine pilots from the Falklands are now quite old. The old dragonfly really did look like its name lol
Do you remember when a penny would buy you sweets, not now eh!
Ford Pops
