My dad was stationed at Lakenheath in the early 70's. I'd watch the F4s from the runway light towers on the village end for hours at a time. Brings back good memories. Thanks
My dad was also stationed at "the Heath" from 70 to 74. I was LHS class of 76'. My friend (Wing Commander's son) and I would go out to the end of the runway closest to Lakenheath Village and watch the F-100s fly 30' over our heads on landing. F-4's came in about 72.
I, too, used to go up onto The Warren, overlooking the airfield (continue up Wings Road from the village) in the late 60s/early 70s, as a child to watch the American planes. My father was stationed here during the war (I was a late arrival) and we used to visit friends he made there every year. I have great memories of the place, the planes and the huge American cars driving through the village! 👍
Love how the animals nearby are just so chilled out like “yeah we’ve seen and this all before “ and then carry on chomping the grass. Fantastic footage and great sound.
Love it! Spectacular shots of these RAF zoomers. When I'm watching/listening to videos of aircraft I prefer no BG music. It kills the amazing sounds these supersonic birds make. I say this with respect.
I live in Vermont, all I hear is the sound of Liberals complaining about the noise of the F-35's !! They'll be singing a different tune when we're being invaded.
@Harry Bristow It wasn't meant to shame you or meant to put you down. That was legit criticism. I enjoy the content, so I want this channel to do well. But the sarcasm,though? Come on.
You nailed it ! Not only great footage, but sound quality ,music selection and editing. Thank you for getting out of bed on a cold morning and sharing great footage ! Merry Christmas to you, your family and fellow contrary men and women. Dean, Naval Base Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Its nice to see sort of a montage of the planes with music in the backround and good editing haha Im tired of just hearing the planes everyday because I live on RAF Lakenheath so its nice to have something different 😊👍
Fantastic video love it I just can't stop watching it love it. 😀 🤙 👍 and I love going to Lakenheath it's fantastic seeing the F-15 eagle's and F-35A. " Fantastic "
Well done mate, top work. The nature segs are excellent too and fit the plane footage wonderfully well. I’ll bet the Lakenheath pilots are well chuffed with your work. Wonder what Aussie Short Stirling pilot Ron Middleton would have made of the those aircraft. On 28th November 1942 his plane of 149 Sqn took off from Lakenheath to bomb Turin. Arriving at the target, Ron Middleton had to make three low-level passes to get positive ID but on the third, they were hit by AA fire which wounded both pilots and the wireless operator. Middleton suffered shrapnel wounds to the arms, legs and body, with his right eye torn from its socket and his jaw shattered. He passed out, the second pilot took the plane to drop its bombs. Middleton regained consciousness, but was in tremendous pain. Several times, he told his crew, "I’ll make the coast of England, I’ll get you home”. This he did after a few hours, with very little fuel left. He ordered his crew to bail out - five did so, two stayed to try and talk him into a crash landing. Middleton refused and ordered them to bail out - they did so but were killed by hypothermia in the Channel. Alone in his Stirling Ron Middleton crashed into the Channel. His body was washed up two months later. He was awarded the Victoria Cross for his devotion to duty. He was buried at Mildenhall in Suffolk.
Great footage🙌 But I agree with the previous comments I would rather hear the noise than the musak. I was just saying this morning that I need to get to LN again as I’ve not been since the F35 arrived 😢
Bro well done. That was amazing. Very creative and artistic, despite what the haters may say. You've earnt a new subscriber. I too am a GH5 shooter and you've inspired me. Both this and the RAW audio vid have their place. There'll always be somebody who doesn't like something. Love your work!
Greetings from Portland, Oregon! Great stuff. Keep up the great work. I have that same scanner here (BC125AT here in US), and I also have its mobile/base bigger brother...the BCT-15X. 73!
Great little video, the filmography was good. Yes people are always going to moan about music when any engine sounds exist, but I thought it worked fine. Ok maybe the mix between engine and music could've favoured engine slightly more, but I'm being pedantic. I liked the setup of the scene efore the jets with the frosty fields and everything which added more interest to the video. Some great flying shots too. 👍
I have a buddy that works for Lockheed Martin. He rarely talks about his job and when he does it's incredibly vague. All he divulges in are certain capabilities but NEVER anything on HOW it works. Anyway he told us one night that the F-35 has the capability of creating fake targets on enemy radars and even "swarm" a radar system and create dozens of targets that aren't there. I thought that was pretty cool.
Buzzin that. My nan before she passed many moons ago, Lived on one of the first houses on the flight path of RAF LAkenheath. The Top guy used to visit every sunday for a cup of tea to make sure she was okay. Week in week out! What a magical area and i just remember the Phantom Jets screaming around in the morning sun!
Well done Dude for getting that awesome footage of the F 35. Amazing that definitely was a pretty lovely day. Well worth getting up for Look forward to see more footage
New buddy Harry. When you go the extra mile with the photography and music in the right way things can only get better. Happy New Year to you and yours 😁
That was cool, nice morning too, I used to get up at 3am to photograph dear and seals by the beach by my house in frosty mornings aways made for cool pics👍🇬🇧
WHAT YOU ALL WANT TO SEE - RAW AUDIO AND 4K ruclips.net/video/dZ2p3l7AI2o/видео.html
Atta boy!
OK< I will let you know what I think. Don't take 1 minute and 30 seconds or 1/2 of it of a 3 minute video showing yourself and some cows :)
@@trvman1 thanks for your opinion 😀
No more music
Lose the crap music
The sound of the planes is the only music this video should have had.
Turn on off the music, we are here for the F35 and scenery!
F-15 doesn't need music. It is music.
Time was we had an aircraft industry and made our own fighters.
One of the most incredible climbs of the year for sure !!!!!
wish you could hear the plane not hear a dance club
The sound of the jets is music to the ears so don’t need the music 😀
Like drowning out a Merlin with a jackhammer......really?!

Awesome video. Music not necessary.
Awesome video. Comment not necessary.
Music is always NECESSARY ! This video is NOT. ! 😜
The teenager music in the background though.
Love how the animals nearby are just so chilled out like “yeah we’ve seen and this all before “ and then carry on chomping the grass. Fantastic footage and great sound.
Love it! Spectacular shots of these RAF zoomers. When I'm watching/listening to videos of aircraft I prefer no BG music. It kills the amazing sounds these supersonic birds make. I say this with respect.
I say it as well.
the radio on frost is epic ngl
I live a few miles from the 35 factory in Fort Worth. I'm glad I can watch them fly without the music.
Yup I work in bldg 4. The sound of the F135 engine is unparalleled in person.
I live in Vermont, all I hear is the sound of Liberals complaining about the noise of the F-35's !! They'll be singing a different tune when we're being invaded.
@@mattywho8485 I am a liberal and still love the plane and the people who work to make it. World isn't as black and white as you think
Absolutely amazing I will visit this base ASAP
Man, I want to like this video so bad but the music just kills it.
Ah that’s such a shame, I won’t be able to sleep tonight now, thanks for the comment though
@Harry Bristow It wasn't meant to shame you or meant to put you down. That was legit criticism. I enjoy the content, so I want this channel to do well. But the sarcasm,though? Come on.
Well done, sir. God save the King (from the USA)!
Wow...that take-off from 1:31 is just jaw-dropping! Thanks for this great video, greetings from Hungary!
music spoils it all
Awesome vid mate keep it up
Please...only Jet-Sounds, no Music! 😞
1:31 That's probably one of the best bits of aviation footage I've ever seen - great build up, music and spectacular videography. Well done!
Thank you very much!
um what
You nailed it ! Not only great footage, but sound quality ,music selection and editing.
Thank you for getting out of bed on a cold morning and sharing great footage !
Merry Christmas to you, your family and fellow contrary men and women.

Thank you very much!!
Man, i loved this video!!
Wow what a wild and unbelievable sight, an F35 and it didn't crash.
🤣🤣🤣
F15 footage as well very nice . I miss the F14 so the F 15 is all we have left that gives that similar sound thunder
That build up! Amazing! And then the drop.. I mean climb! Thank you for this composition :)
Glad you like it!
Its nice to see sort of a montage of the planes with music in the backround and good editing haha Im tired of just hearing the planes everyday because I live on RAF Lakenheath so its nice to have something different 😊👍
Fantastic video love it I just can't stop watching it love it. 😀 🤙 👍 and I love going to Lakenheath it's fantastic seeing the F-15 eagle's and F-35A. " Fantastic "
Little less selfie time, little more aircraft please x
Great editing, visuals and music.
Thank you
Best aviation shot ever, simply stunning - well done!
Well done mate, top work. The nature segs are excellent too and fit the plane footage wonderfully well.
I’ll bet the Lakenheath pilots are well chuffed with your work.

The best I’ve seen yet
My son is stationed there for 4 years good luck!
Great video shots, dreadful music....
Great shots especially that first one
Great video m8. Ignore all the geezers saying the music is " F-". Was a good song to show the true, but playful, power of these aircraft.
Thanks, the muzac adds nothing!
Thank you for your time and effort.
What a great spot to watch them…
The music hurts ... great shots though
I live 30mins from MHZ and 40 mins from LKZ, great footage Harry.
Great Shots. Miss the days of when I was stationed at RAF Alconbury 90-92.
Can you play the music 10x louder and get rid of all the other audio?
Great footage🙌
But I agree with the previous comments I would rather hear the noise than the musak.
I was just saying this morning that I need to get to LN again as I’ve not been since the F35 arrived 😢
Honestly, i dont want to be that guy but seriously i would rather hear the WHOOOOOOSH from the aircraft than the music, pleaseeee
Love it! Definitelly worth getting up early
Bro well done. That was amazing. Very creative and artistic, despite what the haters may say. You've earnt a new subscriber. I too am a GH5 shooter and you've inspired me. Both this and the RAW audio vid have their place. There'll always be somebody who doesn't like something. Love your work!
Thank you very much, yeah I love the gh5 and gh6!!
cows be like "oh here they go again! noisy buggers them hoomans"
Greetings from Portland, Oregon! Great stuff. Keep up the great work. I have that same scanner here (BC125AT here in US), and I also have its mobile/base bigger brother...the BCT-15X. 73!
Very cool 😎 although less disco would be better 🙏❤🇬🇧🇺🇸
It's just a thought, I don't think you benefit from the tune overlay. I like the pure sound of aircraft, what do you like?
I agree but the raw video with the live audio was posted separately on Facebook this is more of a vlog.
Great footage, really enjoyed watching that. Thanks!
absolutely amazing...
Nice, making their own clouds. I’ve done a lot of flying and the cold calm winter days are way nicer than the thermally bumpy summer
needs to be 4k...amazing
Thank you, that was amazing !
underrated, that's insane cinematography. how you aint on thousands of subs idk...
Thank you!
music is way too loud
Great video, fantastic camerawork

Very good job , greetings from Argentina !
Nice take off. Did the cows even flinch when the planes passed by, probably so used to the noise 😂
yes mate, superb catch. brilliant
Yooooooo this is awesome. Great filming, great montage. Bravo
Thank you 🙏
Incredible footage. Those F35s look magnificent.
I have a buddy that works for Lockheed Martin. He rarely talks about his job and when he does it's incredibly vague. All he divulges in are certain capabilities but NEVER anything on HOW it works.

Excellent video and very well put put together, Best regards Stu Bear
Thank you so much!
Wow! As a military aviation enthusiast myself, your plane spotting is great stuff indeed!
Was stationed at Lakenheath 80-83, had F111's then.
awesome video Harry, well done,, HYN 2023 looking forward to see more
Fantastic...and the audio on my headphones terrific!!
There should be no music when the jets are on screen.
That was wicked mate, clearly got skills behind the camera....
This has to be the most unrightfully judgmental group of commenters i've ever seen. I promise you the cows are fine, so chill out. Great video!
Excellent! Thank you for braving the 🥶
It was so worth it haha

Subbed too :) the video made my decision :)
I have to say this has to be one of the best videos I've seen not the planes but the editing, Really good, maybe you've found your vocation.
Very kind, thank you. Hope you like the other videos on my channel, there will be more to come!
first time I've seen your youtube Chanel unreal footage spot on all the best for 2023
Awesome video,well done!!! Greetings from Perth,Western Australia
I love all the English tongues!
That's what she said. 😉
That first one wow!! Brilliant video 🤙
Thanks 👍
Tanks for this early morning impression review - brilliant! My tribute to all UK spotters delivering this amazing pictures and videos!
Really great video. Can u post without music as well? :) The snow shots are epic. Happy new year
Great video and editing, absolutely love it, 😍
Thank you so much!!
Amazing shots!
Good music Good video m8
Stunning shots, Brilliant how luck that is to capture some spectacular video. Well done
Well done Dude for getting that awesome footage of the F 35. Amazing that definitely was a pretty lovely day. Well worth getting up for Look forward to see more footage
are you THE David Wright ? YNWA
Well done mate! Amazing footage!
Excellent footage, I don't think the music should go personally, but I do think maybe tone it down a little. Perhaps - 12db might work
Thank you for your comment
-12 dB would be a 200% reduction in overall volume.
Stunning,
New buddy Harry. When you go the extra mile with the photography and music in the right way things can only get better. Happy New Year to you and yours 😁
Thank you!!
That was cool, nice morning too, I used to get up at 3am to photograph dear and seals by the beach by my house in frosty mornings aways made for cool pics👍🇬🇧
Well worth getting up early! When it’s something you love
Beautiful England! Beautiful day! Beautiful Aircraft! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video mate
Indeed! That first F-35 takeoff is INCREDIBLE! Love it!
It really is!
I'd definitely prefer just the sound of the jets and radio 🧐
the F15 is the most iconic fighter.
