Isaac Santana : 2nd world war was a very long time ago so I doubt your supposition. What was the type of these fighters. Spitfires/ Mosquitoes/Mustangs??
You never realized the complexity of a plane until you get in one and then it hits you as your looking through it how overwhelming it can be. Enjoyed seeing both planes and I loved the paint job of the face on the first one. Thanks guys!!.......
It's planes like that that has great history and a story that goes along with them on what they went through that should be saved in honor of the veterans that flew that... it's a shame if they didn't get saved... Great video thank you
Absolutely amazing edit on this one Ross, loved the history parts! No idea how you found out what type of plane that small one was, I did manage it for the other two though
Ross Wallace Adventures Hopefully later today, I've had a pretty bad week for editing this week. But yeah that's pretty cool, I got the impression from the video that you were really quite interested in them
also search and rescue , airbourne early warning, and anti submarine warfare. they had an amazing engine sound with 8 props , I was runway controller once and had to abort one take off as there appeared to be smoke emitting from starboard side of one aircraft. turned out to be the galley vent , impatient crewmember had put kettle on early !! slap wrist...lol oh the joys of 8 sqn.
The Pembroke shown in the introduction was outside the site of RAF Long Marston in South Warks. It has gone now but I spotted the remains between Stratford and Alcester in a field.
@@terrymoore7293 The planes in the boneyard aren't abandoned, they are in different forms of storage. Some can be put back into service in 24 hours while others may take a week, others are simply cannibalised for spare parts for the active fleet. In most cases, by law the planes are not allowed to be sold to private owners.
Only comment to make is it would be nice if you showed a picture of the Aircraft back when they were still in the RAF. Just as a point of reference for others. While stationed in the U.K. (1968 - 72) I was able to travel around and visit several old and abandoned WW II airfields and talk to some of the locals about the units there, both RAF and American.
It’s heartbreaking to see the planes in such derelict conditions, particularly the Shackleton as there are very few of them still in existence. I can see some 50 years hence, a group of enthusiasts will try to rebuild this one to flying condition as have a few Lancasters. Ie: we have one flying in Canada, & just recently, they have started on a second one in Victoria, BC. But it’s a long way to certification.
First aircraft is the Percival Sea Prince Tmk1 - used by the royal Navy's Air Fleet Arm and ths Royal Air Force as a Multi engined training Aircraft.for Maritime Reconnaissance crews, light transport and currency proficiency for Multi Engined rated air crews Percival built other aircraft for the RAF such as the Pison Provost training Aircraft which was a forerunner of the Hunting/Percival/BAC Jet Provost. 2nd aircraft is the Avro Shackleton AEW mk 2 used as a mobile early warning and control aircraft. Powered but the same Rolls Royce Griffin engine that powered late models of the Spitfire. The "Shack" as it was known to crews had contra rotating propellors and it was usual practice for 1 or two engines to be shut down during flight to save fuel and extend tome on task. It was replaced in 1991 by the Boeing E3D Sentry. 3rd aircraft is the Gloster Meteor F mk 7 The Meteor was the first Opperational Jet Fighter Aircraft in the World entering service with the RAF in 1944. The F mk 7 was the first Meteors to be powered by the Rolls Royce Derwent Axle Flow Turbojet which was also used in the DeHavilland Vampire and Venom Aircraft. This particular aircraft looks like it ended its days as a target facilities aircraft towing canvas sheets in flight to allow other aircrew to check the accuracy of their commons.
2nd aircraft us not an AEW air craft, it is a standard Shackleton for Maritime reconnaissance it having never been fitted with H2S and having Tricycle undercarriage and tip tanks.
For all those bemoaning the state of the aircraft in this presentation examples of all these types are preserved in a number of collections. The examples here are way beyond saving and will undoubtably end up as scrap
Whaaat? No plane is beyond the skills of many old geezers (still kicking bits of aluminium scrap off their workshop floor) who love restoration, given the opportunity. This would never happen in New Zealand, where they restore old war birds better than anywhere.
Hi. Watching your new year video. I noticed I missed one. Checked and I had. So watched it now. Gosh that plane is really something special. Takes a lot of fully trained skill to master all the works of that plane. The best training in the world is British military. or was. This plane has everything. Even got beds on it. WOW what a find. Thanks for sharing & so thoroughly. Awesome. Except for the poo room :D & I liked the smaller plane too.
Excellent and informative film, I can't believe these wonderful examples of British engineering are just laying in fields rusting. May I make a suggestion, try panning a little slower, otherwise it looks like one of those 'found footage ' american movies that make you giddy looking at them.
the 1st plane was either a flying Electronic warfare plane or a flying command post used for coordinating air and ground ops or possibly a navigation trainer back in the days when you use compass an radios
Did you find a skeleton with an old leather jacket on and a tatty bag full of baggies full of strange white powder..........? Hmmmmm Im an ex aircraft engineer guys......the long storage boxes down the back were for DROP SONDES sonobuoys. This looks like a research aircraft or maybe a sub hunter? The bits on the end of the Shackleton wings are long range tanks!
Very interesting is the small two stroke motor on the bulkhead of the left removed Meteor Jet engine, i suppose it is used as a starter motor just like the System on the Messerschmidt 262.
This is NOT an AVRO Shackleton was a Sea Prince as used by the navy, or 'Percival' As used by the RAF. The amount of vandalism displayed shows the mentality of the idiots who have visited the machine since it was dumped.It would be a good idea if the producers got hold of a Library book on British Aircraft, they could better identify the airframe. as every one knows, a Shackleton had FOUR engines to start with.!!! AGh yes, The one at the end was a Shackleton. What a shame to see it in this condition
Hunting Percival ‘Pembroke’ as used by the RAF used for VIP/Comms and photography(I was on 60 sqn at RAF Wildenrath - Germany where we flew them) the “storage’ space at the back was where the elsan shitter was
@@RossWallaceAdventuresThe third aircraft was a Gloster Meteor - a two seat variant so perhaps a night fighter. Hard to tell in this condition. The Shackleton was a long range maritime recce and sub hunter.
It also carried torpedoes. 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. It was painted blue for camoflage from shipping against a grey cloudy sky. It carried flares to make it stand out from the surface of the sea. The tops were white to camoflage against a shiny sea. Late variations became AEW aircraft - superceded by the Boeing AWACS in 1991.
Surley Bournemouth air museum could use these to expand collection ,should get government for help relocating them Surley be in history point to save these before lost scrapped which would be disaster
Oh no need to beat yourself up over it. I have been a total plane geek since I was still in nappies so I have an unfair advantage over you with the parts recognition. Thanks for posting the video as I enjoyed it.
Well the Meteor is WWII as it first flew in 1943 and was the first operational jet aircraft in the world in July 1944 contrary to what some Americans believe that it was the Me 262. This looks like a 2 seat trainer T.7 or a Target Tug TT.20
@@RossWallaceAdventures Hi Ross Wallace Adventures, I meant I like your channel and this video and think it was hugely interesting. Giving you a like because of that but didn't "like" the way these beautiful aircraft have been abandoned, if that makes sense. The video was excellent and will be coming back to see what else you've been up to in future :)
C cG thanks, I get it now and I appreciate any feedback good or bad. I've recently uploaded a new Plane video on my channel if you like this you will enjoy that. Again thanks I appreciate it
I'VE GOT ANOTHER ABANDONED PLANES VIDEO COMING VERY SOON ON THE CHANNEL. I FIND 5 ABANDONED RAF PLANES. SUBSCRIBE TO STAY NOTIFIED 🛩✈️
What ever happened with these planes and the housing development?

“Still got the gears” 😂
Not only the gear comment,also a picture of a Shackleton,which was not in use during the Second World War!.
Ohhh look at you two cuties getting all upset because the bloke who said he knows nothing about planes - knows nothing about planes.
Ross Wallace Adventures; this video lives up to your name. Well done.
Another great explore!! Loved all the info on the planes. x
Hey buddy, great video 🙏🏻 really enjoyed that Ben from 401 files
Absolutely amazing edit on this one Ross, loved the history parts! No idea how you found out what type of plane that small one was, I did manage it for the other two though
Lost With Lou thanks mate when's yours going up ? I learnt a lot on this explore, I think I've found a new passion for Planes 😋
Ross Wallace Adventures Hopefully later today, I've had a pretty bad week for editing this week. But yeah that's pretty cool, I got the impression from the video that you were really quite interested in them
Shackeltons were used by coastal defence, and most likely finding of downed aircrew, hence the marker flares, and lots of windows.
also search and rescue , airbourne early warning, and anti submarine warfare. they had an amazing engine sound with 8 props , I was runway controller once and had to abort one take off as there appeared to be smoke emitting from starboard side of one aircraft. turned out to be the galley vent , impatient crewmember had put kettle on early !! slap wrist...lol oh the joys of 8 sqn.

Here in the US you would never see planes like that sitting around. They would be snapped up by collectors. I do hope those are as well.
Go to the Arizona desert and you will see thousands of abandoned of all types of planes.
terry moore First thing I thought of, too.
Yep, over 4000 at the lat time I heard.

Its interesting to see these old planes. I love planes but don't know much about them.
I came here last week and all the planes are still here, i uploaded a video about them last night
This is so good, we’ve done several vlogs exploring RAF Lindholme, the moors, airfield, control tower and bomb store 👍

That aircraft has now been scraped and much of the airfield is now housing
It's "nose art," not graffiti. Nose art was painted by air crews. Graffiti is what people do to to "tag" things.
@@TheGrumpyEnglishman Syracuse the Pedant
Not 'aircrafts.' The word is 'aircraft', for both singular and plural. Thank you.
Where is this airfield
The shackleton was slated for removal and restoration
That's great to hear, thanks for commenting 🙂
Do you happen to know where it's going?
Hi do you know if the aircraft have been moved yet and who owns them.?
The avro shackleton is a very uncommon plane there is only a thew left sad to see plane abandoned and not restored
You can fly a Shaleton in X-Plane 11 flight simulator also Spitfire, Chipmonk Gazelle etc!
Did you find a skeleton with an old leather jacket on and a tatty bag full of baggies full of strange white powder..........? Hmmmmm

you are right .these aircraft were used by coastal command for maritime reconnaissance in the north atlantic.
Very interesting is the small two stroke motor on the bulkhead of the left removed Meteor Jet engine, i suppose it is used as a starter motor just like the System on the Messerschmidt 262.
That is actually a gearbox driving a small compressor, a vacuum pump and a (missing) generator.

The other aircraft later on in the video (4 engine) was a shack. 40,000 rivets flying in close formation .

0:38 That's "Percival", not "Precival".
1:36 This is where I baled out: when you called the throttle controls "gears". Bye!
And" the cables that coordinate everything" !LOL, So what, not everybody is an expert.
"still got the gears" lol.....that's the throttle quadrant like the accelerator in a car.
Honest Dave Speaks I'm no expert but that was fairly silly of me.. we all make mistakes to learn from them lesson learnt

piece of human history. Maybe they should be kept in the best condition for the next generations?
Where is this
Long marsdon Warwickshire
Do you mind saying the location? I'm a aviation enthusiasts and photographer
TheGreatAviator 67 looks like Long Marston
No WW2 aircraft here. The ones shown are a Pembroke and a Shackleton from the 50s to the 70s.
Well the Meteor is WWII as it first flew in 1943 and was the first operational jet aircraft in the world in July 1944 contrary to what some Americans believe that it was the Me 262. This looks like a 2 seat trainer T.7 or a Target Tug TT.20
Go to RAF Spadeadam in Scotland and you will see dozens of aircraft and vehicles in a post nuclear scenario for training purposes.
these boxes are where the landing gear is stored inflight
Hopefully they find a worthy place in another Museum!!!
pewilsh hopefully
Gone now, fucking houses.
Where is this based
As previously stated on another site: '' The Avro Shackleton is Ten Thousand loose rivets all flying in close formation ''. LOL !
I worked on and flew in Shacks, trust me the statement is spot on
Its a shame realy used and abused done ya bit. Put to graze like a knackered race horse! It helped save the world! SAVE IT.
What a waste. Thank you for showing us that there are still interesting places in overcrowded Britain.
Nice bit of horseradish in front of that plane.
