Thought they said it was flying low.....na that was medium altitude for a buccaneer 😂😂😂

We feel we can shed some light on some common misunderstandings. ​At the time the Comet wasn't particularly dangerous. All marks of Comet aircraft including some Comet 1 aircraft had certification at some point after 1954. De Havilland was merged with Hawker Siddeley during a govt initiated UK aerospace industry rationalisation process. Losses comparisons How things were in those days. DeHavilland Comet 4 UK 14% DeHavilland Comet all mks 17% Boeing 307 70% Boeing 247 48% Boeing 707 . 20% Lockheed Electra Turboprop 29% Canadair CL-44 Turboprop 46% Convair CV-580 Turboprop 22% Convair CV-880 (ff 1959) 27% Convair CV-990 (ff 1961) 35% Of course De Havilland had prior experience building many all metal construction airframe aircraft & thousands of jet powered fighter aircraft that were primarily of metal construction with pressurised cockpits & jet engines built by De-Havilland. De Havilland carried out full stress analysis & engaged in a comprehensive & protracted testing program which is why key De Havilland people were happy to be aboard flying DH Comet aircraft. After the incidents & investigations airliner construction & testing changed everywhere airliners were built. We hope this helps. Cheers.

The music feels like something out of Night of the Living Dead (1968) or something.. Sorry for the pilot may he rest in peace.

Interesting.

It was also incredibly robust. I saw an interview with a Buccaneer pilot, He said... You never wanted to take incoming, but if you did, the Buccaneer would still get you home with bits of it missing.

"The Buccaneer was the only aircraft that you retracted the landing gear on so that you could get DOWN to operating level."

I donot recognize the plane at the end. Any help appreciated!

Yeah low.

Fascinating! Thankyou!

I was on the second batch of No 1(F) Sqn pilots to convert to the Harrier in late 1969, pre two-seater or simulator.. This sad accident was very fresh in our minds, and we were made well aware of the dangers of intake momentum drag. Our saviour was often the little wind vane mounted in front of the windscreen on which it was essential to ‘formate’ during the critical transition to and from forward to vertical flight. In a crosswind you could feel the sideways tug on the stick which was the early sign of loss of aileron control. One glance at the windvane, a boot of opposite rudder to line it up with the apparent wind, and you were safe until next time. Exciting times!

A supberb aircraft. Went on board one at RAF Turnhouse in the early 1960s, I can still smell the leather.

Bohužel, selhání pilota.

The loss of a great pilot is always very sad, everyone’s thought must have been with his family. 🙁

Un sucio inglés, no se perdió nada!

This is the aircraft the de havilland hornet capt Eric winkle Brown britain's premier test pilot a legendary figure among the aviation community, he consider this aircraft a magnificent machine the perfect replacement for the venerable Mosquito he flew this as well as a mosquito bomber on to a aircraft carrier ,when it comes to carrier deck landings he is untouchable his records stands forever never to be broken

Remember being at an airshow at Chivenor in Devon in the early 80s when they announced that a Bucc 4 ship were in the area and would simulate an airfield attack - stunning watching one following the contours of the coastal dunes ahead of us as it barrelled towards the airfield. As it roared overhead at a ridiculously low height, the other three arrived a split second apart from the other three directions. Cue shreiks of surprise, startled looks and car alarms going off. Once the roar started to subside, we all started to laugh at how we'd been so completely monstered by the mighty Buccs. Simply wonderful memory.

I believe ejection seats are a lot better nowadays.

I saw a harrier crash at RAF Wittering a few years after this. There was a problem with the vectored thrust system and it went back into the hovering position when the aircraft was too heavy to hover, having just taken off. It effectively just fell out of the sky into a field near the airfield. The American pilot was killed. I was told that he had forgotten to remove a safety clip from the ejection handle and the aircraft had inverted before he was able to eject.

That could have been a good, compelling video,. But instead someone decided tp add unnecessary, cheesy music to it. Ever hear the expression "silence is golden"? Because a LOT of people on TH-cam NEED to hear it!

May this aviator and all American, U.K., and allied military pilots and crew killed in the line of duty rest in peace knowing they made an important difference.

Te salvaste compadre😂

RIP Major Rosburg. In 1980 I was looking to join the service, and was offered a seat in the USA Harrier development program. At the time, it was suffering 50% casualties. I declined. Hat's off to the brave guys that debugged this VTOL wonder!

Ejection seats today can handle horizontal ejections. Sad to lose a great pilot this way.

I never liked nor respected the Harrier nor the Electric Lighting.....

If he was russian all comments would be like : commies drunk on vodka lol

Harriers kill more of their pilots than the enemy. It has a worse safety record than Yak-38

Is the pilot still alive??

Un pirata menos....

Sh*tty rank amateur use of music

We don't need to watch someone die.

McDonnell Douglas did a great job on the Harrier II.

R.I.P the pilot. The Mk 1 was the early version of the AV-8 or just the GR1?

We New Yorkers lost a Harrier pilot from the Bronx, crash on a carrier. Lest we Never Forget🇺🇸

Why is this on TH-cam😂

The freaky music doesn't help.

The Rosburgs were family friends. Our families belonged to the same church in Boron, CA and his daughter and I were in the same class at Desert High School on Edwards AFB. I remember hearing news of the accident like it was yesterday.

Too sad. RIP and Blue Skies 😔🫡

Men are the most wildly spectacular of all creations. For every ounce of pain they cause or suffer in their battle with the beasts of nature, there is at least a gross of peace and joy from what is learned, and each is comforted in truth, to the end in endless glory. God blesses those who seek Him, one way or another.

RIP

Music is eerie

The Martin Baker seats were not forgiving at that attitude. Eventually the USMC adopted the Stencil seats for the Harriers. (VMA-542 - 1976-1979)

Poor fellow...RIP.

RIP.

My Jet Provost instructor at Linton on Ouse, Nigel Storah, died in a very similar accident at RAF Gutersloh, in October 1980, only a few minutes before I drove through the main gate to begin my tour there on 230 Sqn. A roll control rod became disconnected after a maintenance error. RIP Nigel.

Это восхитительно
