Jingles...thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall in the early 80's and guarded several of those aircraft. The one hanging from the ceiling you weren't sure of was an F-80. Did you know that the B-52 on display at Duxford was actually flown in and landed on the grass strip after it was de-miled? Thanks for the memories...some day I will visit again.
As someone from Cambridge, someone who had many aviation fanatics as friends and someone who played a considerable amount of War Thunder when this came out; Thank you.
In case you were wondering, that Mitchell variant was a B-25J. The easy way to tell is that if it has a glass nose and forward mounted dorsal turret, it's a -J. Technically, though it is a PBJ Mitchell since it was in Navy markings.
well I guess that answers my question from the last video about meeting any subscribers. Thanks for showing us around Jingles, cant wait for the air show. BTW I was playing the Jingles drinking game and Boy am I hammered!
Hey jingles there is a air museum in America called march air museum it is in California. They have an SR-71, B-52, B-29, and they have days that they allow you in the cockpits of all the aircraft including a replica of the only surviving P-38 lightning.
Also, because it's in US Navy markings, the B-25 is a PBJ, for Patrol Bomber, and the J is the Navy code for an aircraft made by North American (N and A were taken in the US Navy manufacturer code system).
Cool to see that T33 otherwise known as the "T-bird". That was an early jet trainer aircraft, which my grandfather flew. It gave him the training to check out in the F89 Scorpion.
Another factoid on the SR is its skin was designed to stretch in the air. The aircraft actually got longer in flight. The added length sealed the fuel cells which leak on the ground.
The SR-71 was beautiful. . They had a prototype called the a-12, where the pilot had to eject. Guess you can go out there and still get pieces of it out there. (the pilot survived). That A-10 made me smile, I used to live near Moody AFB, and they'd fly overhead... Love the Hog. Wow, look at all the tanks... Man, we don't have museums here in the states with this much veriety.
I come from a city in New Jersey, USA known for it's airport called "America's First Defense Airport". During WW2 they trained about 1,500 P-47 pilots. In 6th grade i meet one of those pilots. What was awesome was that i played Medal of Honor back in 2006 and during a mission we have to call a P-47 to take out a German tank. Well HE WAS THAT P-47 PILOT that was trained in Millville where i LIVE!
I cant tell you the amount of times ive been to Duxford IWM! Went there so much im able to point out and name the majority of the vehicles/planes there, used to get a lot of weird looks from older people when i was younger naming them all haha
My father knew a pilot that used to fly the SR-71. Couldn't say much, but the things used to leak like a sieve on the ground. When they flew they heated up so much that it sealed the leaks and expanded the wings several feet. He couldn't say exactly how high the op alt was, but it was midnight at noon according to him. My favorite plane and I defy anyone who says that there is a cooler one in existence.
Jingles, You should come to America for some of the airshows. one of the ones I went to last year had a fleet of 30 B25's and 2 B17's all flying in formation
Jingles, great video! Please keep them coming. I think the "Sherman" is really a Canadian made Grizzly. They are almost the same. Grizzlys had all metal tracks while the Sherman tracks had rubber pads. There are probably more differences, but that is the main one I know of.
I love planes but havent played war thunder yet. i still really love the displayed beautys. and i think i probably love your show of the tanks even more. "yes, but has it a log?!" :D
Jingles, about the Sherman, there were different factories that made different looking tanks. Some used rivets and made the flat armored tanks and some used welding and made the rounded armored tanks. I think thats just an M4.
I doubt he'll see it, but the jet aircraft behind the F-100 and the Mitchell was the Lockheed T-33, derived from the P/F-80 Shooting Star. Correct me if I'm wrong my cross-Atlantic friends, but I believe it was the USAAF's first (successful, at least) jet aircraft?
Jingles, if you ever get over to the states and are in the dayton ohio area, check out the wright-patterson air force museum, they have a section of a b-29 that you can actually walk through.
Nice gorgoues women xxx singing and duxford is fantastic place to go ,been to lovely duxford 30 times,hoping to go to flying legends airshow this year ☺
In case you didnt know the logs purpose is that if the tank gets stuck, you tie the log in to the tracks providing extra grip from the ground. And it actually worked really well. Very cheap tool too =)
Jingles, you should look up the McMinville air museum in Oregon, they also have an SR-71 and the one and only Spruce Goose! Largest wooden aircraft in the world! And while you're at it, check out the Tillamook air museum. They have the only operational ki-43 Oscar in the world and it's in the largest wooden structure in the world, a WW2 blimp hangar. Check them out!
The F111 was still flying with the RAAF up until 2010 when they were retired after 37 years service. A remarkable aircraft the fastest ever operated by Australia. The dump and burn manoeuvre where they would dump their fuel and light it with the afterburner was an airshow favourite really missing the Pig!!!
The A-10's gun won't stop it in flight, but 2 would make it go backwards; the engines produce 4 tons of trust each, and the gun produces 5. Also, you might want to check your nicknames; the A-10 was called the Thunderbolt. The Warthog is the A-10B variant.
The logs are for when they get stuck in the mud (or are approaching a mud put) they put down the log infront of the tank so that the tracks have something to grip to.
The SR-71 Blackbird. It leaked fuel on the runway, just spilled it on the ground. When it got up to altitude and speed the ram pressure heated the panels and they expanded to seal the fuel leaks. It didn't need any defensive guns because nothing could catch it even if they somehow managed to spot it on radar before it was already going past them. Truly an amazing airframe and a genius design on the part of Lockheed Martin Skunkworks.
Hey jingles, did you know the SR-71 actually had intakes that bypassed the main turbofan intake, and were used in high-speed flight to reduce the drag effect of the turbo fans? I believe the pipes you saw around it were them actually. and the cones on the intakes could be rotated inward or outward to keep some sort of shockwave effect it experienced inside the engine? this thing was an incredible machine! Thanks for sharing =D
Actually Jingles, the heat caused by on extreme speed in atmospheric flight is due to compression, not friction. (if there was that much frictions, the plane would rip itself apart) Jingles?
Sorry Jingles but you are wrong about the SR-71. It did Mach 3.36 (on the books) Max top speed still classified. The SR-71 was in development (not as a replacement for U-2 or TR-1) but to be used along side of it. Trust me My dad worked on the SR-71. The A-12 (CIA version) was developed to replace the CIA's U-2
SR71 used ramjet (vs turbofan) engines, and the inlet cones were adjustable to control the shockwave of incoming air. The skin is titanium and the aircraft would leak fuel until it grew as much as 6" in length from air friction.
The log is used to help a stuck tank get out of the mud by putting the log in front or behind the tracks so the tank could drive over it and get out of the mud for all those wondering
The sherman at 9:42 is a Sherman M4A1, because it has a longer chassis than the M4 and note its fully cast upper hull. It is mostly recognisable by its longer chassis and the slightly raised parts of the frontal armour.
Sorry Jingles, that M4 is just an M4 as it has a hull cast and is not welded. If the hull was welded to the rear then it would be an M4A1. Early Sherman hulls were one piece as they were casted as a whole.
cos, they have huge guns, and the logs are like counterweights, to keep it balanced. and most of its equipment, like shells, radio, turret most of the time is located in the front.
Hello again, Mighty Gnome Overlord...I realized the other day that you had posted videos of a visit you made to IWM Duxford in 2013 with Camera Minion Eddie. However, only two of an apparent four videos that you posted are still up on RUclips. There is a "Part 1" and a "Part 3", but no "Part 2"...and there was a caption at the end of part 3 that says there is another video of the actual Air Show you had gone to Duxford to attend. I am wondering what happened to the other parts? I would really like to see them if possible, as Duxford is one of the museums I visited the summer I spent in England in 2009.
Is that the Vulcan Bomber with the tail no. XH558? I remember seeing that back in the late 1990s for a testing session just before it was ready to be properly airworthy. Hearing those engines start up really make the ground shake. Good times. :-)
Just to clarify for all you wonderful folks, the Sherman medium tank shown in Mr. Jingles video is actually a Canadian M4A1 Sherman. I can verify that it is a Canadian variant because in the city of Vancouver, about an hour away from where I live there are Two Sherman firefly tanks in front of what I believe is the Seaforth Highlanders armory. These tanks have almost identical markings. The Red box that has the 52 on the Duxford tank is identical, except the one in Vancouver is 53 not 52
Aha! Thank you! I was at the Blackbird Air Park in the Mojave Desert and the plaque said "T-33". I knew I was right when I said it was the P-80. Thanks. :D
I've been to all of the great museums in Paris, Berlin, WDC, NYC... But never London. It would take a year to get to all of the ones that I want to see
In the 1980's when I was about 7 or 8 years old my Father and I built a 1/72 model of the SR-71. I remember taking it to school for show and tell, and no one, not even the teacher believed it was a real aircraft. That's 25 years after it was designed. It was even still in use at the time. SR-71 mantra. And though I fly through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil. For I am at 80,000 ft. and Climbing!
They're there to help crossing obstacles. Imagine every tank in a platoon carrying one of these - combine them and you could easily form a bridge or a rudimentary ramp on very soft ground (e.g. marshes).
it was a very cheap and easy way of adding or reducing weight to a tank so it could get better traction in snow and mud and i hear theres a lot of that stuff in eastern europe.. then if you needed speed instead of traction you just take the log off kind of ingenious if you ask me.
i know that not most people dont know this but the a10 is not officially called the warthog it is officially know as the thunderbolt 2 to honor the original thunderbolt
Not just Russian tanks, tank destroyers in general carried logs because it didn't obstruct the turret, they provide added protection and could be used to get out of mud.
I just gotta say thank you Jingles for filming this great warmusem. Whish I had time to go there myself and look at all those amazing tanks/planes.
Yeah, some of Londons' exhibits have been moved to Duxford and Manchester while London is renovated.
used to love going to air shows as a kid, this brings back some good memories cheerz mate
Just amazing! Thank you so much for taking the time to film and comment!!!!!
Jingles...thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall in the early 80's and guarded several of those aircraft. The one hanging from the ceiling you weren't sure of was an F-80. Did you know that the B-52 on display at Duxford was actually flown in and landed on the grass strip after it was de-miled? Thanks for the memories...some day I will visit again.
I'll be at Bovington for Tankfest on June 30th :)
I honestly did not know this place was so incredible. I'm going to HAVE to visit.
That Sherman is a M4A1. You can tell by the rounded, cast hull.
Love your World of Tank videos.
The two funniest things I've seen on his vids! The face he pulls in front of the Stug and his voice when he says ''ITS A LEE!''
As someone from Cambridge, someone who had many aviation fanatics as friends and someone who played a considerable amount of War Thunder when this came out; Thank you.
In case you were wondering, that Mitchell variant was a B-25J. The easy way to tell is that if it has a glass nose and forward mounted dorsal turret, it's a -J. Technically, though it is a PBJ Mitchell since it was in Navy markings.
Yep, they're both still there.
well I guess that answers my question from the last video about meeting any subscribers. Thanks for showing us around Jingles, cant wait for the air show. BTW I was playing the Jingles drinking game and Boy am I hammered!
Damn you Jingles .. I now have to make a trip all the way from Australia to go to Duxford. The amount of amazing stuff there is just insane !
The A-10 !! , that beauty did saved me a couple of times , gotta love that sound of the gun durping "stuff"" :)
Thx for uploading , jingles
Hey jingles there is a air museum in America called march air museum it is in California. They have an SR-71, B-52, B-29, and they have days that they allow you in the cockpits of all the aircraft including a replica of the only surviving P-38 lightning.
Thank you Jingles, i cant get to places like this soo im greatly thankful for you doing this!
nice
Jingles you're just...just.. plain
AWESOME!!!!!!
Jingles you are awesom. You know so much about that. Pls more of that.
Also, because it's in US Navy markings, the B-25 is a PBJ, for Patrol Bomber, and the J is the Navy code for an aircraft made by North American (N and A were taken in the US Navy manufacturer code system).
I've seen and touched a lot of the planes he saw at a U.S. air force museum in Texas and Utah! keep filming Jingles never seen a British plane before
Cool to see that T33 otherwise known as the "T-bird". That was an early jet trainer aircraft, which my grandfather flew. It gave him the training to check out in the F89 Scorpion.
So if the tank got bogged down in mud they could stick the log under the drive wheel to get traction.
Another factoid on the SR is its skin was designed to stretch in the air. The aircraft actually got longer in flight. The added length sealed the fuel cells which leak on the ground.
Jingles you have inspired me! Taking the boys to Duxford on Sunday!
Jingles, the T-33 was the trainer for the P-80 and the F-80 Shooting Star. I believe it was an army variant as well.
The SR-71 was beautiful. . They had a prototype called the a-12, where the pilot had to eject. Guess you can go out there and still get pieces of it out there. (the pilot survived).
That A-10 made me smile, I used to live near Moody AFB, and they'd fly overhead... Love the Hog.

jingles you should come to cosford air show next sunday, the vulcan and lanc are going to be in the air!!! can't wait!!!
I cant tell you the amount of times ive been to Duxford IWM! Went there so much im able to point out and name the majority of the vehicles/planes there, used to get a lot of weird looks from older people when i was younger naming them all haha

My favorite plane and I defy anyone who says that there is a cooler one in existence.
Jingles..... What a beauty
You can the Sherman isn't an E4, mainly because it doesn't have torsion bar suspension AKA Hellcat style wheels.
its used for muddy terain, if i recall you stick it under the front of the tracks and it makes it easier for it to get unstuck/trasverse better
THANK YOU MR.JINGLES FOR 500 VIDEOS OF FUN AND AWESOMNESS!
Hope you never stop doing them!! :)
Thank you "unfriendly neighbourhood gnome warlock" :DD
Never been to Bovington yet, ask me again after tankfest. ;)
A10 is love, A10 is life
omg Jingles you are to funny, thx for the tour just wish I could jump the pond and see it all in person
Jingles, You should come to America for some of the airshows. one of the ones I went to last year had a fleet of 30 B25's and 2 B17's all flying in formation
Jingles, great video! Please keep them coming.

Good to know, didn't the USAAF write the Airacomet off as a flop or was that a predevelopment of the P59?
Jingles, if you ever get over to the states and are in the dayton ohio area, check out the wright-patterson air force museum, they have a section of a b-29 that you can actually walk through.
Nice gorgoues women xxx singing and duxford is fantastic place to go ,been to lovely duxford 30 times,hoping to go to flying legends airshow this year ☺

the SAC Strategic Air Command Museum in Ashland, Nebraska has an SR-71 Hanging above ground and is pointing right at the entrance
Jingles, you should look up the McMinville air museum in Oregon, they also have an SR-71 and the one and only Spruce Goose! Largest wooden aircraft in the world!

Adam, check your sources... the OFFICIAL name is Thunderbolt II. The NICKNAME , used by all who know the plane personally, is Warthog.
The logs are for when they get stuck in the mud (or are approaching a mud put) they put down the log infront of the tank so that the tracks have something to grip to.
well that is it, it has been far to long since I was at duxford trip out on my next day off I think. Thanks Jingles.
They used to have the Jagdpanther in IWM in London. Loved looking at that!
Wow an F-111 and a A10!! I love both of them!
I've always wanted to go to the Duxford air show. Oh well Cosford air show it is, 9th June, cya there Jingles!
Jingles, the T-33 is a trainer conversion of the P-80 Shooting Star, the USAF's first jet fighter.
I've been to Duxford - magnificent place

Thanks for sharing =D
Its jingle 500th vid! Congrats jingles, and please keep the awesome videos coming!
Jingles is such a legend, always finds the time to take the piss out of the lee :D
Oh and the U2. A night takeoff of the SR-71 is still one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Actually Jingles, the heat caused by on extreme speed in atmospheric flight is due to compression, not friction. (if there was that much frictions, the plane would rip itself apart)
Jingles?
Awesome. I'm glad to see some tanks as well.
Sorry Jingles but you are wrong about the SR-71. It did Mach 3.36 (on the books) Max top speed still classified.

At the franklin institute in Philly they have a t33 and you can sit in it. It made a great photo!
Sorry Jingles, that M4 is just an M4 as it has a hull cast and is not welded. If the hull was welded to the rear then it would be an M4A1. Early Sherman hulls were one piece as they were casted as a whole.

Love the black bird and by the way above the avenger is a f4u corsair
500th VID! awesome airshow, need to go to the air museum near me again soon. Congrats on 500 Jingles, hope you do 500 more!
Is that the Vulcan Bomber with the tail no. XH558? I remember seeing that back in the late 1990s for a testing session just before it was ready to be properly airworthy. Hearing those engines start up really make the ground shake. Good times. :-)
Jingles, that Sherman is a second production model with a low velocity 75mm cannon
Just to clarify for all you wonderful folks, the Sherman medium tank shown in Mr. Jingles video is actually a Canadian M4A1 Sherman. I can verify that it is a Canadian variant because in the city of Vancouver, about an hour away from where I live there are Two Sherman firefly tanks in front of what I believe is the Seaforth Highlanders armory.

But does it have a log??? Awesome tour of the show so far Jingles, looking forward to the next part :D
hey jingles, at Edward's AFB they have the ONLY 2 seater A-10 called the YA-10B, if you think the single seat A-10 is ugly just look at the YA-10B.
Aha! Thank you! I was at the Blackbird Air Park in the Mojave Desert and the plaque said "T-33". I knew I was right when I said it was the P-80. Thanks. :D
I've been to all of the great museums in Paris, Berlin, WDC, NYC... But never London. It would take a year to get to all of the ones that I want to see
The plane you called a B-25 was probably the Navy version, judging from the color scheme, designated as PBJ.
Loved the Allo' Allo' quote!
The fake tiger in that video is actually the one from saving private Ryan :D
Fun fact, jingles, you can buy a chieftain for anywhere between £18,000-£55,000. And you as a civilian can own it. Just saying
In the 1980's when I was about 7 or 8 years old my Father and I built a 1/72 model of the SR-71.

The Mighty Jingles drinking game is getting me rather hammered
it was a very cheap and easy way of adding or reducing weight to a tank so it could get better traction in snow and mud and i hear theres a lot of that stuff in eastern europe.. then if you needed speed instead of traction you just take the log off kind of ingenious if you ask me.
i know that not most people dont know this but the a10 is not officially called the warthog it is officially know as the thunderbolt 2 to honor the original thunderbolt
The American jet hanging from the ceiling next to the B-52 was a T-33. Wanted tot tell ya
Another great vid. Awesome running into subscribers like that! :D HI DAN, HI ADAM!
have you more stuff of the three ladies singing there ? love this music!
Jingles is so cute when he's exited
The Thing hanging behind the B-25J and Above the B-29 Superfortress is the P-80A Shooting Star. it was America's first ever operational Jetfighter
Looking forward to the airshow!
Thanks Jingles!!!!!
Been driving me crazy trying to find it. lol
Not just Russian tanks, tank destroyers in general carried logs because it didn't obstruct the turret, they provide added protection and could be used to get out of mud.
To get even closer to a B-29, you have to come to the USA itself, and catch Fifi. You can get a tour of the cockpit.
jingles, you alomost made me piss myself with laughter. cant wait for the next one
