Because...what?!

Do you know when west jet will be hiring again?

When the British first sent Anson Mk.I aircraft to Canada, they disassembled them, crated them, and loaded them aboard ships. But they forgot to load the bolts that held the airplanes together. When they arrived, the Canadians couldn't reassemble them, because the British bolts were a different size and Canada didn't have any in stock! Through a quirk, the Anson Mk.III entered service before the Mk.II. The Mk.II was built in Canada for use in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, and featured hydraulically-retracted landing gear. This was a big improvement over the Mk.I which needed 144 turns of a hand crank to raise the undercarriage up or down. But there were problems with the hydraulics, so the Canadians resorted to building the Mk.III variant which, again, used a hand crank.

I have seen a Sopwith Triplane reproduction fly at Old Warden where the Shuttleworth collection is based. Wonderful aircraft! Constantinesco & Colley synchronisation gear was fitted to many British aircraft

Really cool video! I'm one of the Australian delegates for space school this year and this was great to get an idea of what I'll be going to. Thanks for sharing :)

Lovely, informative video. Really well presented - thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I'm related to Albert, my grandmother was his sister

Hello, does this airline offer time away from base (layovers) ?

According to the IL-2 website: " The three narrow-chord wings provided an increase in airspeed and improved the field of view from the cockpit." The previous Sopwith Pup had a limited field of view. You'll notice the notches in the Triplane the center wing allowed the pilot to look almost straight down. The pilot forward view was almost completely unobstructed, and he had a decent view above and in front. When Anthony Fokker copied the Sopwith Triplane and designed his infamous Dr.I Triplane he failed to capture the most wonderful thing about the Sopwith Triplane: it's fabulous field of view.

These types of helicopters are my favourite, but my absolutely favourite one is 35

Yeah it only took 40 fucking years,

What a lovely video. Please keep making these! Even if it is only just for me 🙂

I love the video and the museum! Always been intrigued with the engine in the nose design, and how the drive shaft got through the cabin to the propellers. Could do without the slightly too loud metal background music though.

Lovely looking bird.

Superb video, beautifully produced thank you. Dad flew Ansons at 41SFTS in 1943/44, on his way to piloting Lancasters with 582 Pathfinder squadron.

The frame looks like a specialist dream it but a child drew the wings and landing gear lol way id draw a plane as a kid. Looks so change i love it.

Great video Suzanne!

My father was a aircraft mechanic for his career in the Air Force. Starting with the P-80. He told me a few stories about this bird. The radar dome that you pointed out. Reminds of one. They needed that part for one to put it back on line. They wrote up the paperwork along with the part number. A while later when the part came in. It was in a narrow box over 6 foot long. They quickly looked at the part number and it looked like a match. Upon opening the crate inside was a full .5O cal machine gun. Still in the condition that it left the mfg. looking at the number again they found one of the numbers had been out of order. Example 12345. 12354. Also I made the mistake of saying air brakes instead of speed brakes. I was quickly told that “ It’s a airplane not a truck.” Thanks for the video and the memory of Dad .

In the 60’s they rebuilt one (spad) in the hanger next to the f-106’s or 102’s Selfridge A FB Michigan. Quite the picture.

I understand the fuselage of the Sopwith Triplane was identical to that of the Sopwith Pup, both aeroplanes being manufactured at the same time.

My favourite jet fighter of all time.

Superb work chaps, another beauty back from the dead.

Nice video. One good point about fabric it would not detonate a cannon shell. The Hawker Hurricane shot down more German aircraft during the war with it's fabric wings than the Spitfire. Even the Mosquito, the fastest fighter bomber of WW2 was made from wood and could carry a 4000lb bomb.

USA: We adopted the sweep wings from the Germans. SU: We made the Mig 15 ourselves. It was all our invention. Reporter: Come on, the airframe also came from the Germans. Are you going to lie about the Rolls Royce engines? SU: Da(Yes), we stole that design too.

I keep telling people Gustav Whitehead flew a powered aircraft years before the Wright Brothers AS REPORTED IN 10,000 newspapers at the time!!

Well done video Sara. Sincerely yours from Richard Abbenbroek and his Evie Dog 🐕.

It looks quite a complete unit.go for the rebuild before the unique staff disappear,if you know what I’m getting at. Duxford

Wonder what it would fly like with an F-404 engine in it.

this thing is impressive for its age

*👍супер и привет от тренера по футболу!!!!!*

These were old planes in the 70s..

crummy small screen format why not full screen?

Transonic NOT supersonic!

I see the Canadian version had a copy of the British centrifugal engine which had more power than the American axial flow engine

This was so interesting! Conservation is cool

It goes even faster if you do what the Aussies did and stick an engine with ~30% more thrust in the back of it!

I like the Mig 21 please. So handsome and bad-ass!

Old Sabre no leading edge slats. Edit: newer sabre discontinued slats.

Was it a German concrete company?

Nice video of the Vampire. The list of RCAF squadrons that flew the Vampire was missing 410 Squadron, which was the first RCAF (Regular) squadron to fly Vampires. Thank you for making this video and I’ll be sure to see your Vampire when I can get to Calgary again.

What great stories, thanks for sharing. Can't believe I'm the 1st to comment here. Nice to hear Gimli mentioned too, lived there as a child while my dad served in the Air Force there. After joining the Air Force myself, my 1st posting after training was to CFB Cold Lake. The last few years there I was at Base Flight and we had a DC-3 named Pinocchio which I was privileged to work on. It was a 'pretty' DC-3 with a CF-104 Starfighter nose, so not stubby & hence the unique name. The nose housed a 104 radar & Pinoc was used to train pilots on the radar. A radar console was in the cabin so they could run a good number of pilots through the training on one flight. Also had the opportunity to service CF-101 Voodoos occasionally when they visited the base. Park, refuel & start.

Hope to visit you one day.

Fantastic. Amazing pieces of history right there. Thanks for the video!

She could fly again, it just depends on how much time and money would need to be spent to do it.

Thank you so very much for sharing this beautiful history lesson with me. I truly appreciate you sharing this !⚘

Thanks for the story of this fine aircraft. I too remember seeing it on the pedestal from long ago. Good to know the history of this one.

Great history lesson. I remember seeing this Lancaster on display outside the Calgary airport when I was a little kid.

Great work! You should check Promosm!! ! It will help you get the views you deserve!
