You can’t fake or buy the passion he brings to these films, in the same way the fortitude, resolve and endurance of the people who contributed to their creation was genuine, honouring astonishing efforts in the best way possible, a smile, unceasing energy and a love for another icon of yesteryear. Never stop Guy, please and thank you.
My Dad joined up in '39 and trained as a pilot and got to fly many aircraft, Wellingtons, Short Sunderland, PBY Catalina and during the last 2 years of the War, the Lancaster. He said it was by far the best plane he ever flew, big fast and very maneuverable. Many years later I remember the look in his eye watching Canada's only "Lanc" fly overhead at the Abbotsford Airshow...He was a lad of 23 again.
There has been no creation of man that can foster the feeling of pride that four Merlins running in unison can muster.
Gotta love guy and his attitude to everything 💯
There is no faking the passion Guy has for these aircraft. He fully understands their significants in world history. Of course being a hardened gearhead helps a lot as well.
Yes guy!! The David Attenborough of machines.
Thanks Guy.. I have much more respect and understanding of the incredible engineering of the British thanks to your content.
I have a new found appreciation of the resilience and effort of my British cousins ( I’m Australian)
Cheers mate
Ah but commercial refrigeration was invented by an Australian, for a brewery!
The respect is mutual mate. Many Ausies, put these fine machines to damn fukn good use.
God bless you all 🙏
My grandma was one of those millions that help build the Lancaster, she built the landing gears at the Cockshutt Aircraft Division located in Brantford Ontario Canada. Cockshutt also produced the Mosquito fighter bomber, the "Wooden Wonder". She was so proud.
Love his commitment to preserving and keeping historic bits of kit going and their stories for generations to come! To quote the man, 'nice one!'.
I think the Canadian Lancaster makes me proud,toured like an old rock star. Canada to England,did the venue's then home....what an adventurous flight.
And privately funded.
You get to have more fun than anyone has a right to Guy. Actually, you're probably the nicest and most sincere person around.
You are genuinely passionate about these adventures and it's evident you do tons of research before filming.
Your level of involvement makes your show fun as hell.
He is mechanic first and foremost, so whether it is trucks. Cars, motorcycle, or venerable Lancaster. Working on the engines , etc is what gives him the most enjoyment, and the speed is the reward, or the means to feed the adrenaline addiction.
I could watch 2 more hours of this. Great information of history.
Lancaster PA 474 (BBMF) is not based at Duxford. It is kept at RAF Coningsby (Lincs).
Yes, it was at ARCO at Duxford last summer for maintenance.
@@andrewwaller5913 Thanks, Andrew. I had only seen it at Coningsby. But then I only visit from 12,000 miles away every few years. Check ee138 for my interest..
Would love to guy get involved with the people's mosquito project. Would be really what he likes. Twin Merlin's and the fastest plane of its time.
It would be sweet to make a full size fuselage VR version with hydraulics, movable fake turrets with recoil, large rear projection screens, lots of fans or fake engines with props, and a concert speaker system.
My Grandfather joined the RAF in 1937 on his 18th birthday, was a tail gunner on Lancaster bombers and Wellington bombers before that. I admire his bravery to this day.
I've seen multiple vids now where when he's spent time with very random people in their trades they keep saying you'd be good at this or joking he could have a job. That shows the amazing work ethic he has which shines through.
To be fair a good work ethic is about the most valuable commodity a working person has to offer an employer, that and enough intelligence to learn the job quickly. Everything else is just details.
Guy your adventures within everything Technological is always inspiring
Really love your videos man and all the best to you and your future endeavors
Nice bit of history. Helps me understand why my dad speaks so highly of this aircraft. My grandfather, great grandfather, my dad and his two brothers all worked for Avros during these great times👍🇦🇺
Hi, Simon. Im the "blacksheep " of the family.......Im the Ilett that never worked at AVRO or joined the RAF....i joined the RN and served in submarines. Did send rick a photo of my model lanc.... "the last lanc to be built by an ilett "....unless.....you prove me wrong............GO FOR IT............cheers mike in orkney (uk)
@@d165354 Hi Mike!!
Thanks for your reply.
Wow, it's a small world.
Hope you're well.
Pretty sure you're right about you building the last lanc.
I don't think my dad (Rik) has ever built a model etc, and I certainly haven't.
I think Rik would've been too young at the time to have worked on a lanc, but he has mentioned he, John and Dave spent some time at AVRO, although I'm pretty sure Grandad, and Great Grandad probably helped build a few.🤣👍🇦🇺
@@simonilett998 Gill and i sent rick our / your grandads personal notebook on what to inspect on the lanc....he was one of the chief inspectors on lancasters (one of many all over different factories)...your dad has it now. Your dad/my dad would have been at AVRO in the shackleton / vulcan time . gran remarried bill who had been on Vulcans then she joined you lot in australia. recently sent rick a photo of him leaving UK in 1966. all the very best, mike.
Such a good presenter
Keep it up guy for all sides
brought a tear to my eye without the factories there would be nothing the longest hours for the worst conditions without them we would not have done it
I like the jiggling!
used to play in this plane when a kid and lived in Cranfield
hi, i am sure Guy Gibson would be most impressed by this.great video.
Love your work 👍
Guy is a lucky guy
Could they keep Guy in tea?
My granny made gunpowder in the day time. And worked in a chippy on a night salt of the earth smoke tea leafs in a pipe,till,she was 98
Your granny must have been quite a Lady my friend. I had read that people used to smoke Tea Leaves during the war, so, back in the days when I used to smoke, a mate of mine and myself decided to give it a go. If I said it was Harsh with a capital F I would be making an understatement. I thought my Lungs were on fire. An experience never to be repeated.
This is what TH-cam is made for & you won't find a better teacher of everything except the kitchen sink anywhere.
I'm waiting for Guy's College 🎓 to open up next to UCC 😉
The best ever aircraft British
DUXFORD? Thought the BBMF were based in Conningsby
BBMF is based at Conningsby, but they only do annual services and kick the tyres. Minor, major and major plus inspections are carried out by ARCo at Duxford.
@@arunkhatri4840 bit more than tyre kicking going on last time I visited the engineers at Conningsby 😊
Explains why the lanc flew back to Conningsby on 3 engines lol
What a shame there’s only two left although I suppose they are big planes I’m sure a few were scrapped after the war
My uncle was a Lancaster pilot, never had the opportunity to meet him and say thank you 😟
A proper knighthood for this man 🍺🇬🇧👍😃
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
hello mr i am a big fan, i would like to work with you. I'm an inventor, I'm working on creating a spitfire from scratch.
I wonder if he's going to quit his day job being a mechanic n do this instead?
What does a Bradford Muslim, care for the Lancaster??
R
you dont ge toffered a job for nout
