Music and Sfx from Epidemic Sound
The ‘Swordfish’ at 31:00 is actually a Gladiator. I should have known because it’s all different and I was in a Swordfish once, but my brain decided to send its regards
Totally understandable! Thank you for taking me on the tour, I'd never be able to get there so I especially prize these experiences. 😁
Wasn't it fished out of a lake in Norway ?
Hendon is an absolutely fantastic museum, so much to see. You can get incredibly close to the aircraft and they're all beautifully maintained. I could probably spend two, even three days wandering around in order to see everything properly.
I am now 65 and was ill health retired a few years ago, but in the early 80's I used to religiously attend the annual RAF St Athans BOB day/Flying displays, I saw The Rolls Royce De Haviland Mosquito fly and the BOB memorial flights lancaster (40 years younger! However, I do remember that the 2 seat FW190 and a Me162 were in St Athans own small museum. Highlight of my day was the running of the FW190's engine, I shall never forget that sound! Again this was 40 years ago.
Sadly St Athans is no longer an RAF base and I shan't ever see Lightnings, Phantoms, Nimrods, Vulcans, Canberra and Buccaneers Fly again...But I have the memory and if I shut my eyes I'm back there!
Thanks Chris 'Bismarck' for this brilliant tour!
I was stationed at RAF Hendon back in the early 70's when the museum was being built (also near to the Police Training Academy in Hendon) and watched the last aircraft to land on the runway before it got dug up (for a housing estate) which was the Blackburn Beverley Transport Command freighter landing, and also have a good nose around the Sunderland aircraft being refurbished in a large hangar, and the workers let me climb on board for a good look around inside, so I sat in the tail gunners seat, but not the mid gunners seat, the pilots and crew seats up front and the front gunners seat, and enjoyed the smell of the green paint and oil smell of the aircraft. Even better I spotted just the mid section of either a Hurricane or Spitfire (forget now) over in a corner, so I just had to climb into the cockpit to play at being 'Biggles' for 10 minutes or so.
So, an interesting video to me, having been there...I also remember Raf Cosford (when in training there 1961-63, part of my 12 years service in the RAF in 'signals') and their museum, which as far as I can remember it had a Japanese Zero, VI bomb, ME210 or 410, and a few others that I can't remember now, but at least I could get up close and personal to them for a good look round the planes, no fencing off back then...:)
The Hurricane with its fabric coated wings and fuselage was much easier to repair from being shot at, than later one with aluminium replacement, (like the Spitfire), was more expensive which made repairs more expensive and time consuming to replace parts damaged from being shot at, as noted in the commentary.
I might have missed a Wellington bomber, but my Dad used to fly them back in the days when having and argument with Germany. But on the bright side, my Dad afterwards worked for Deca radar and worked there for a while, and at one point he took my Mum there for a week or so's holiday, and shortly after in the late 1950's they invited a family for a week or so's stay at our house, (I forget their name now), so the Dad, Mum and their son (near enough my age) came to .stay with us, and what a wonderful kind and friendly family they were too, and missed them when they went back home, because their son and I got on pretty well together during their stay. with us.
OK, I finished rambling now but this video brought back many memories.........sorry about that! 😀
Really nice to read this! (The Welly is currently being restored)
@@MilitaryAviationHistory
Thanks for a nice reply!....😀
Yes, and the airframe had a clever geodetic fuselage design which made it very strong and shrugged off damage quite well...
I remember the Beverly as I first went to Hendon in 1977 (I was 12) and this massive transport aircraft sat next to the entrance. The next time I went - no Beverly - I asked one of the staff and he said 'it just fell to pieces so it was scrapped'. Such a shame.
@@liampaterson3424
Many thanks for your memory, and what happened to the Beverly. and that my memory of those days was not lying to me......😀
The "airplane sounds" coming down the stairs was worth the price of admission! Thanks
I went about 17 yr ago, I remember waggling a Stuka,s flaps, (one of my favourite) and the security guard made me jump, anyway great museum, brilliant stuff 😍🥳
48:50 :D
When I spoke to a vet who was a pilot for a B17 in the 8th air force at the 8th air force museum in Pima AZ, one of the many interesting things he told me was the average high requirements for the various locations on the plane. He said waste side gunners, tail gunners, flight mechanics/top turret gunners, and radio/mid gunners could all get away with be 5'7" and up. "You put the storks in the back and mid" as he put it. Shorter guys up front in the nose, and it didn't matter much for the pilots. The average hight requirement for the ball turret gunners was 5'6" and under and even at 5'6", it was miserably cramped in that thing. I highly recommend trying to look up an xray diagram to see how those poor kids were sitting in those things, not to mention that your head was stuck in between recoil of the two 50 cals. Easily the worst job of the whole air crew with some of the highest casualty rating. Tail gunners are a close second having to sit on your knees the whole time you were in your gun position. Oof
I think the US did a casualty assessment for all positions mid-war and found all were quite similar. Ball turrets obviously had many tragic deaths though.
I was an engineer in the Aerospace and Defense Industry. Thanks so much for your channel and honoring the world of military aviation!
Thank you :)
I'd kill to have a proper look inside that Hudson, since they were used extensively at RAF Bircham Newton where I Run the Heritage Centre there. So many used so many stories, so many shot down. I'd love to spend some time just having a good close look at what it would have been like to be inside one.
I went inside that very Hudson when me and my dad visited the Strathallan collection in the 1970s. We just wandered about and entered not only the Hudson but their Lancaster and Mosquito as well. My lasting memory was how hard it was for my 6-foot-tall father to actually fit into those planes!
Thanks for the tour!!! Awesome collection they have!!!
A lovely tour brings back a lot of memories. I was in this museum 10 years ago as a kid with my dad. Spend the whole day there. Thank you for your amazing work. PS: Get a gimbal for a phone, please, so we can get more of those tours in better quality.
I consider it, this was the first time I tried to do didn’t get the whole equip for now
Thanks, Chris! I love your enthusiasm and enjoyment of the paper airplane!! 😊
Buccaneer In the cockpit - timely, with the new Airfix 1/48 kit out :)
Time 25:00 gives a good view of the Spitfire’s wing wash out towards the tip. The higher incidence at the wing roots brought on the stall there first giving a warning buffet on the elevators and leaving the outer wings including the ailerons flying. It also reduced induced drag so that the high altitude versions’ extended wing tips gave very little advantage over the ordinary wing tips.
Always an outstanding video and presentation.
The Bf 110 exhausts.
1. The engine supercharger intakes are non symmetrical, they feed from the left.
2. A slightly fatter wing is (lower) on the inner wing section engine nacelle side because of wing taper, a slightly thinner (and higher) wing is on the outside.
3. The port wing DB601/5 engine’s supercharger intake (on the left of the engine) is closer to the (up sloping towards the wing tip) outer wing than on the starboard engine’s side where the inner wing slopes downwards towards the wing root.
4. The taper effect and the dihedral effect on the supercharger intakes to wing clearances are opposite but the dihedral effect must place the engine intake closer to the wing on the port side.
5. The port wing has an upwards leading shrouded double intake exhaust flame dampener on both sides of the engine nacelle.
6. _the big one_ The starboard wing has a normal Bf 109-like nacelle side engine intake and a downwards leading (inner) left side flame dampener exhaust.
7. _the other big one_ The port wing has an outer wing leading edge supercharger air intake. This allows for a symmetrical exhaust arrangement on the sides of the engine nacelle .
8. The port engine inner (right) side has a flame dampening exhaust leading upwards over the wing in this night fighter whereas it leads downward to discharge under the wing in the corresponding Bf 110 day fighters. Could this be partially because of a national characteristic desire to make things complicated?
They would not want (outer) hot exhaust gas entering the outer wing panel under wing radiators in day or night fighters. This is not really relevant as it’s the inner exhausts that are not symmetrical.
Yep, inboard wing contains fuel tanks so, with the engine intakes on the left hand side, it's not possible to have a wing leading edge air intake on the starboard engine. The exhaust has to avoid the external intake on that engine by going under.
Regarding the Bf 110 exhaust flame damper, I've read a few complicated answers.
The reason is very simple. Ideally, you would want to route your high velocity, high energy exhaust flow over the wing. High velocity equals low pressure equals lift.
Since there is an air intake in the way, you cannot route the exhaust over the wing without increasing the frontal areal and further complicating the flow in that region. There would be an increase in drag.
So, the designers took the logical, simple approach, and routed the exhaust under the wing instead.
I visited the museum in february, and a lot of these german birds weren’t there (He-111, Me-163, Stuka…). It was awesome anyway, but little did I know by that time that the planes were constantly switched between Hendon and Cosford. I’m planning come back to UK next year and then visit Hendon again, Cosford, IWM and Bovington. I will not let anything escapes this time ;-)
I remember the Vulcan from an airshow when I was young. Very loud, and only when it was landed and walked around it you realised how enormous it was.
My late mum worked at the Museum at the time the Vulcan was brought in. Changed her shifts around to witness an awesome logistics operation. She wouldn't stop waffling about it for weeks! Full circle for her as she was invited to visit the Vulcan at local Thurleigh Aerodrome, by invitation, in the 60s. Always knew when it was around - so loud.
I visited the RAF museum at hendon in 1976 which was the year of the great hot summer and brought my father's Zeiss icon contaflex to photograph the shop with try playing and hawker hurricane and s for sugar and j u 87g which I believe was parked out side at the time along with a ju 88...
I must say that the lighting is far superior these days according to your excellent tour. I'm sure that your connections from this trip will ensure future cockpit tours of the fairy battle Blenheim and Beaufort bombers for those of us who like to super detail there vintage Air fix kits!
I used to work at the national Air and space museum in downtown Washington DC in the 90s and have recently visited the Palm springs Air museum in California and I can say that those videos and the ones from right Patterson and Chino and the other great museums will be a source of great interest
Awesome channel, thanks for the walk around!
Thank you so much, Raymond!
You should go to the RAF Museum Cosford - much bigger and on an active RAF station
Fascinating video Chris, I have never seen the interior of the Fairey Battle. Thank you.
Throwing paper airplanes and making airplane noises while you run around. I guess this place does turn you back into a 12 year old!
Gotta go myself!
Enjoy it! Every time I go to London I visit that museum. I feel like a child.
Fantastic video - thanks!
For those who can, I highly recommend also seeing the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, as well as the USAAF Museum in Dayton. Both of them are insanely massive.
100% agree. I watched an IMAX 70mm movie in the Smithsonian 25 years ago, it rested my worn out jet lagged feet, very fair play - it was about the Soviet space program. It had Enola Gay in a dismantled state back then.
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 And the Dayton museum has the other B29 Bockscar in a hangar. Both are very cool places to go.
35:19 the pods were for the collecting expended shell cases
That B-17 was a former fire bomber . Belonged to Butler aircraft at Redmond, Oregon. It was built by Douglas as a PB-1.
To clarify, he means a firefighting bomber. Lol
@@AtamiskxIx too early for me here in the US I actually prefer "Airtanker"
My old Captain flew that and other B-17s (PB's) in 70's and 80's. Lots of insight into the operation of B-17s.
@@tgmccoy1556 Here in Colorado, we call them slurry bombers too. Though how accurate of a name that is I don't know. Haha. I believe they had a couple B-17 slurrys back in the 50's and 60's but I can't say for sure.
This is such a fabulous museum to visit. Haven't been for a while so must go back later this year. Thanks for your great walk around and commentary. Really looking forward to that Buccaneer video 😊
If the B - 17 in picture was an Target Tug prior to arriving at Duxford, she was built for deployment overseas. B - 17's were built for deployment overseas in Europe. Not specifically as Target Tugs. B - 17's completed or in production in 1945 were either converted to tugs post - war, or, some were sold to private commercial interests around the world to be used to fly passengers or freight.
Some were sold to private interests within the United States. A lot of them were flown to the US Southwest and parked in the desert in "inactive storage." They were eventually scrapped. Some were sold to South American countries and used as Coastal Patrol or weather observation ships. Most of them, l believe, were flown to Wingham, lllinois, at that time the location of the largest aluminum smelter in the world. And melted down.
The ship in frame is, or appears to be, an late series B - 17. Per the configuration of her tail gun position. And she would have had an "chin turret." Mounted just under her nose. This ship appears to be an B - 17 "G" series. Which were deployed operationally, beginning in August, 1943. But, it may be an artificial hybrid. Rebuilt using "bits and pieces" of other B - 17's of ships of "D," "E," "F," as well as the "G" series ship. There are less and less of these ships in existence at the present time. And, non obstant the matter of whether they are static displays in an museum, or still operational, they have been assembled or reassembled from an minimum of three other B - 17's.
Well, heck, now I can cancel my trip! :). Nice work on this. Geez, how big is this place? Seems every time you turn, there's a new airplane.
I was there in May, absolutely brilliant place! I was in the big hall for 2.5 hours. One of the cleaning ladies jokingly asked me if I was okay hah.
Entry is free but I do recommend paying a bit for the ticket!
Even small contributions go a long way!
@@MilitaryAviationHistory Yup! I paid for a guided tour since I figured I might as well, was a really nice guide. Asked if he knew of a certain German and he did hah.
Got to see the Vulcan up close, loads of great anecdotes and another museum worker let me walk up close to the 109 Emil, my favourite WWII warbird c:
Was your guide Steve by any chance?
@@MilitaryAviationHistory He was a volunteer, retired English white dude if that narrows it down. But perhaps yeah I think it was.
I think the Hawker Hunter pods on the bottom of the plane were called "Sabrinas" and not "Sandrines". Essentially they were named after the actress Sabrina for the same reason that T-72s with wide turrets were nicknamed "Dolly Parton turrets" by NATO observers.
Good spot, mensch1066, misspoke.
It's interesting that Herr MAV mentions his height a t 6' 2" - with the implication that he might be on the tall side for an aviator - spare a thought for Roald Dahl who was 6' 6", and had to squeeze himself into Gladiators and Hurricanes...
Regarding the Bf 110 exhaust pipes - outer ones had to go over the wing upper surface, otherwise, You're pouring hot chunky exhaust straight into the under-wing radiators.
You miss the point about the left engine’s inner exhaust, it went over the top too. I have a long comment in (different supercharger intakes L&R).
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 Maybe because the propellers are rotating differently? E.g. one clockwise and the other counter-clockwise?
@@bwarre2884 No one takes counter rotation all that seriously, it is not a real world significant addition. Look at where the port engine air intake is.
Fantastic thank you
Great tour. Thanks for showing
Now I know what that paper Plane was all about. Good to know :)
Loved this video. The sheer variety of designs in the early days when they were basically making up the rules as they went along is fascinating. The wing warping for example, and the tiny French plane (sorry I cannot pronounce its name other than D3) was just bonkers. Imagine how excited the designers must have been... 'hey guys, we have got it, it is meant to be like this' lol. Imagine what ppl will think in 100 years time. They will be talking about jet engines the way we now talk about steam.
Chris, your comment about the modified artwork on the Buccaneer reminded me of a RUclips video (Channel name and title forgotten) which contained historic footage of WW2 US bombers awaiting scrapping. The nose art was much more interesting than what you see in censored wartime newsreels and official photos. I suspect that someone else watching this livestream video will have the details to hand.
41:40 No. 617 Squadron, Dambusters
Interesting video! Consider investing in a gyro stabilized camera mount.
We need to get you to the US and the Dayton Air Force Museum, and the Pensacola Naval Air Museum
Unofficial high speed tour of various PVC floors feat. DJ ShakyCam
If you can, please arrange a similar tour of the Deutsches Museum Flugwerft Schleißheim in Munich. I would love to see those exhibits. Also I hear there are quite a few decent aircraft in the main central building of the museum.
Already have 5-6 videos of them, see the inside the cockpit of the He111, Bf109, me262, f104, do31 and Vak191
When you got up this morning did you expect to be inside a Fairey Battle?
This man…
I believe it to be a legitimate question
@@MilitaryAviationHistory That’s awesome! Keep it up Bis.
The Lancaster is from 467 squadron RAAF and flew 137 missions .
I think I read somewhere that the JU87 at the museum is a 'bit's of this and parts of that' build.
Everybody knows and speaks of the classics (Hurricane, Spit, Mustang, Thunderbolt, Corsairs), either recognizing their paramount role or supreme performance, but I'd love to hear the full story (narrated by Herr Bismarck, no less) about the... unsung underdogs of WWII? Defiants, Beaufighters, Blenheims, Battles, the Black Widow perhaps... Knowing full well there were many others, but still...
ALWAYS very interesting.
Aloha; BRILLIANT tour! The North American "logistics" have been conquered by Drach so that would seem to be "easier" in the long run. Good luck! Mahalo
You have a check now!
awesome video
Thank you.
Excellent thanks
American WW2 combat aircraft sent overseas during the war were left there. Nearly all were scrapped after the war
Flames suppressors at Bf110 seem to be directed like normally exhausts are. Maybe directed as spin of propeller but not sure. Some of planes used to have that.
Opposite dihedral angle on L and R wings?
@@givenfirstnamefamilyfirstn3935 Dont understand why you ask for that?
@@baltazargabka_ See my comment about the distance from the left facing supercharger intakes to the wings.
Only one Vickers Valiant survives and that's at Cosford (it used to be at Hendon).
Capt Eric Brown liked the Heinkel Volksjäger’s flying characteristics. There is a credible account of one flying from Jever on the the German/Dutch bordershooting down a Meteor.
The B-17 Ball turret was tiny, just like defiant turret, only for small people ..
I noticed a Fairy Battle as well, suicide machine for British crews ..
Bah, missed the stream. Hoping Chris might have a look at the Blue Steel missile I though I saw next to the Vulcan.
Ah yes, I forgot to point that out
Enjoyed much!!!! I had been to an RAF museum just outside the M25 so this brought me back although I think it was a different air museum. I’m sure you have already spec out museums to visit in US but let me pass along a few I’ve been to and two I haven’t. Obviously there are the two Smithsonian’s in the DC area. There’s the main one on the mall and the Steven Udvar-Hazy center near Dulles airport. There’s a great museum that has open cockpit weekends near the Hartford Ct airport. The US Air Force has been 3 great air museums that I have visited. The main one in Dayton Oh is Wright Patterson. Georgia where I live has the second largest at Warner Robbins and finally just outside Salt Lake City at Hill AFB..I’d also recommend the Military Air museum in Virginia Beach. Most of their collection still flies. I haven’t been but they put on some great programs during Covid. The second is the Pima museum in Arizona. Heard lots about but never been. There’s also the Commemorative Air Force that still has a flying B29 among its many planes. Hope I gave you a few more ideas for when you make it here. Thanks for your channel
The "RAF Museum" you refer to is probably the de Havilland Museum near St Albans. There are two official RAF Museums in the UK, Hendon and Cosford.
@@EricIrl it’s over 40 years ago so remembering the title would be a stretch. Just remember taking the tube for a very long ride,and seeing a Lancaster thanks for clearing up my confusion
@@larryenglander8735 There's never been a Lancaster at the de Havilland Museum (as it wasn't a de Havilland aeroplane) so my guess is probably wrong. The only locations where a Lancaster would have been preserved 40 years ago would have been at Hendon (the one in the video) and at Duxford. Hendon is reachable by tube (get off at Colindale and walk 15 minutes to the museum) but Duxford is in Cambridgeshire so well outside the London area. You can get a train to Cambridge and then another train to within about two miles of Duxford Airfield.
@@EricIrl Then it must have been Hendon. I know I too a long ride on the tube…somehow I remember Silver line but that could be wrong…I do remember a walk from the tube station and absolutely seeing a Lancaster. This year I really wanted to go to Royal Air Tattoo….just couldn’t work out the logistics with all the Covid craziness. Thanks so much for all the clarifications
@@larryenglander8735 Colindale tube station is on the Northern Line - which is typically depicted in black on the iconic London Underground "map".
There looks to be a lot more at Hendon that there was ls time I was there (a lot of years ago)
Yes, RAF Hendon was majorly remodeled and expanded with the new parts opening in 2018. I was there in 2015, and there was a lot more to see when I went back in 2018 and then again in July 2022.
I was there a couple of months back, the reconstructions going on look interesting
They have some great plans for 2023!
It is a shame they leave all of that set up stuff out in the open. This isn't a working hangar, it is supposed to be a museum floor. It never used to be presented like that.
Fabulous stuff!!!😁
Do you have a bucket list of aviation museums? Probably a catalogue isn't it!?
Nice vid mate
I’m surprised the two-seater FW190 is slated for the exotic and scarce high octane C3 fuel.
It would be nice if you would edit out all the floor and step shots!

Question........Why has the Battle got a Vickers K GO strapped to the underside????
omg I was litterally there exactly a week ago
How do helicopters fly?
"They are so ugly, the Earth repels them..."
Chis, what were the two full length red things in the top of the Mosquito bomb bay?
15:00 obviously the SINGLE airintake on the starboard engine was "first" and STANDARD...and the exhaust pipes came AFTER and can/could be placed 'anywhere'there is a free spot...
portside engine has all options open..the starboard engine..not.

I guess the dog at the start is meant to represent a military police dog as it is close to the Blue Steel stand off missile on its handling vehicle
That’s right, usually complete with a mannequin RAF Policeman.
I think the “Swordfish” was the remains of a Gloster Gladiator, possibly one of the Malta ones.
It was I got that wrong
@@MilitaryAviationHistory It’s actually not a Malta Gladiator but appears to one that served with the RAF in Norway in the Spring of 1940.
Faith hope and charity 😍
@@jonbon8598 No - not one of the Malta Gladiators. It was recovered from a lake in Norway.
@@EricIrl thanks for reply 😍 and info 😍
Sabrinas, not Sandrines - the reasoning is the same, though.
The place seems to be in a state of disarray at the moment, with aircraft spread all over the place and some of them broken down into their component parts. What is going on?
The Lanc is not accurate. The nose art it flew its 100 missions wearing was NOT the Goering quote. A naked lady adorned it's nose but as it became a famous aircraft the RAF high command thought it was too scandalous an image to have published in the press. They had it changed to its present morally acceptable version.
Those guys knew what they were fighting for...and it wasn't a Goering speech.
Is that the PNG dog from Ace Combat 7???
You must be in aircraft enthusiast Heaven, so many great planes all together. I have a question: Why did the Stuka have an inverted gull wing?
I think, but don't quote me, because of the size of the prop, like f4u Corsair,😍
@@jonbon8598 Yes, that is certainly possible. But equally likely, it seems to me, is to give that big bomb sufficient ground clearance on rough, dirt runways. But that is just my logical mind working. The reason German engineers had could be something entirely different. Like, for example, reducing the length of the landing gear to the extent possible to reduce the amount of drag from the fixed gear to a minimum. But why fixed landing gear at all? The outer wing is thick enough to allow retracting gear, swinging outboard. Maybe because fixed gear could be stronger and they needed that strength?
@@jamesrussell7760 thanks for reply, 😍 you could be right, I'd not thought of that, aju87 factoid, did you know it had an automatic dive recovery system, I think , the bomb crutch was linked to the elevator trim tab, very trick tech, for so long ago 🥳
@@jonbon8598 Yep, I knew the Ju87 had an automatic dive recovery system.

Great video, I agree, it’s hard to keep track of years withe COVID time. Your exasperation at the Heinkel, and general poor engineering or production decisions at wars end made me smile, but honestly, I know if I was desperate, I would be equally delusional 😁
Why is there a Vickers K hanging under the Battle
Ventral gunner position for the bomb aimer/observer.
Were those fuel tanks in the Mosquito (2:29)?
Yes, probably self sealing rubber hence the red colour

Which RAF Museum?
Thanks, good tour. Although not so good flight.
That pointy shape needs a bigger push due to the small wing surface and the centre of mass next to the frontal half. The parent who made it should have thought on the age of the child. (All seen on the video are too small yet and without the needed coordination).
But...
You should have known that. I suggest you to study some grade of aeronautic engineering. 😉

Which RAF museum is this? Are there 3 RAF museums: London, Hendon and Cosford?
Two Cosford and Hendon. Hendon is in London.
@14:10 London RAF Museum
Then he says “yes, I’m at Hendon” @24:40
@@_lambert_1785 Thanks, now it's clear.
Hendon is where an airfield used to be within London, at the Colindale Underground station.
Cosford is right next to a railway station named Albrighton, up past Wolverhampton, which is itself beyond Birmingham, far North-West of London.
It's still a working RAF airfield, so check the museum is open before you travel.
Duxford is another major collection of aircraft (and tanks, and is also a working airfield, familiar from the Battle of Britain film, 1968), this is in Cambridgeshire, North-East of London.
