I generally have the feeling that Guy gets to do a lot more because people see he takes it absolutely seriously. He's not some TV idiot faffing about going "oh, look how much I suck at this!" while laughing his arse off... No, it's go in, and go in 100%, as a result, they allow him to do much more. I admire that about the man.
It doesn’t seem to matter what it is, but if it’s mechanical and moves, Guy has a natural ability to understand and operate anything… he was the same on the army hovercraft.. the instructor said it takes days to get it…. Guy had it sorted in minutes.👍👍
😂 I love it! Only Guy go do something like this as just a "beginner show him how the cool plane works" type of thing and end up getting offered a job doing it regularly by the end of it because he did so well!
Mike Chatterton was the pilot when I did my taxyrun in NX611 back in summer 2018. Wonderful chap to speak to, and I think him and his dad feature briefly on one of the Just Jane dvds available at the LAHCentre
@@simmonsrenos9111 Its a tragedy that the Lancaster is the only WW2 RAF bomber we have flying, pity no one thought to park a couple of Halifaxes and Stirlings in an old hangar somewhere, god knows we had enough redundant airfields at the end of the war. 👍
If you follow them on fbook etc, you can keep up to date with the plans to restore her to flight. I think Lincolnshire would come to a standstill on the day she takes her first flight! 😃

One my first model aircraft builds (in the early 1970s) was a Lancaster, and I was blessed to see R5868 at Hendon as a teen in 1980 or so... such a beautiful aircraft. Later in life - served as USN Naval Aircrewman in Helicopters and then the Orion
Typically unphased Guy!. Working at those speeds would be like waiting to fall through the sands of time. Not to mention owning a Merlin himself.. what a cracking opportunity to be on the official taxi list for a Lancaster. Well done fella. Becoming a National Treasure with every escapade.. (already is to die hard fans!)
I experienced a taxi ride on Just Jane last summer. My dad was a bomb aimer with 101 squadron and 156 squadron. He did 43 trips. I elected to take my ride in the bomb aimers position, wow, what an experience! Fantastic.
I still don't get why they're not teaching the kids in school. What our lads, and women supporting them went through in the war to fly these aircraft in the conditions that they did, site in a mall when you stare at TikTok on your phones. Realise you're doing that in peace because of some very brave people that sacrifice their lives for you.
lmfao you mustn't have been to school in a very long time because they do teach us all about the 2 world wars and the sacrifices everyone makes. They just don't glorify it and hold it up on a pedestal like older generations seem too.
@@jethromaris624 thank you for your reply. At debate is very good with someone from a different generation but your assumption is I'm out of the loop. Not only do I have children at school now, I have somebody works in the education department as my partner. Although they might teach some of the history doesn't mean that the different generations. Appreciate it. Also know that my generation, if there was national service, would step up to the plate and help countries like the Ukraine. Now I don't think most of the generation now would.
@@Android-vk8yh I'm 47 and spent an entire year being taught about WW2 in history lessons in the early 90's and I would much rather have spent that year learning cooking, basic car maintenance or something useful day to day. They should absolutely be teaching kids about the dangers of fascism and racism and WW2 is a good example for them to use, but teaching kids about WW2 pilot training? What a total waste of their school time that would be. That's coming from someone who loves history and have seen untold numbers of documentary's about WW2. As for your claim that you would step up to help Ukraine? Nonsense. You could do so already but haven't. You say you would if there were national service so you're saying you would if you were forced to lol You think younger generations don't step up to the plate? Who do you think makes up the majority of our military right now? Pensioners? Sadly there will always be people who look at the generation after them as being weak or useless. Your parents generation probably thought the same about yours. Just get on with your own life and realise that future generations are no better or worse than yours, they just grew up in a different world to you.
@@Redswipe appreciate your reply. But yet again, I don't think you read my first or my second post properly. The reason I made the comment is because the program highlights the difficult conditions they had to fly and fight in.The reason why we're both able to sit on this platform and discuss anything is due to the fact those servicemen were protecting Britain during world war II, my parents just about survived world war II,n and maybe yours did too being bombed and my dad was a serviceman after the war so I will continue to put those service persons on a pedestal, I will also continue to teach my children how important the poppy appeal is.
Difference is there mostly all gone now I had people like my grandad to tell me stories and ment more coming from him than some teacher at school especially after going Normandy and the somme with him
Shit my mates dad had 4000 hrs in Bostons boltemor ,kitty hawks , Dakota , blenham fw 190 Macchi , cobra ,meteors, mostly on the deck with chipped props can’t remember the rest . But blenham was unregistered as he was a machanic 1940 but due to shortage of pilots he assisted from flight engineer to pilot but still ground crew then his co sent him for flight training and in 4 hours he passed flight in a tiger moth as a pilot . Because of his experience in twin engine planes that what he flew but during Africa Italy and far east he supported the group that didn’t exist started with s finished in s and he also did Berlin air lift he also showd us defensive moves at 13 fifty years later some things he told us is now on you tube . What a man . My life long hero always my solo was for him .
I was watching military aircraft on adsbexchange on May 15, 2022 and saw this Lancaster flying circuits. I was amazed to find that a WW2 aircraft was still registered as an active-duty aircraft. Is it part of a British "Confederate" Air Force similar to what is established in the US with many historic aircraft?
Whilst the overwhelming majority of the young pilots wanted to fly fighters, selection of pilots for the multi engined aircraft was based very much on their ability to being able to coordinate 2 or 4 engines. The fighter boys got the glory but the bomber pilots with their 6 hour or longer sorties in a dark cockpit over a well defended Europe with searchlight belts and night fighters to contend with did the hard flying. Full kudos to the pilots (and crew) of Bomber Command and to Guy for his role in supporting them.
I used to know an old man. He was a Lancaster pilot. DFC and bar. I think he had been shot down and had escaped. I had watched the Dambusters and spoke to him about it. Oh yes, he said they asked me to be on that squadron. I said no. He said when he found out what they had done, he was pleased he said no.
WOWOWO.. i'm very proud of you Guy.. It doesn't mean nothing to you i know.. but i felt happy for you .. Hope to see you someday .. in your truck shop..
I have had the great pleasure of being on board that Lancaster and being taken for a ride round the field, lying in the bomb aimer's position. The experience of a lifetime.
About 40 years ago, I worked with a guy who was a rear gunner in a Sunderland flying boat with Coastal Command. He spent hundreds of hours patrolling the North Sea, and reckons he spent most of it asleep. He said he often used to periodically wake up and find cold mugs of tea wedged into the nooks and crannies behind him.
Guy has that innate ability to handle anything you throw at him. Most people would struggle with something that big whereas guy just seems to have hydraulic fluid flowing through his veins.
When that one is ready, along with the one here in Canada, that'll be 3 air-worthy Lancasters. I believe there's a 2nd one here in Canada undergoing work, and I think another in Australia or New Zealand? It would be quite a sight to have them all up, flying together.
@@1234nagel1582 When I was a young lad during the 60`s & 70`s, there was a Lancaster atop a plinth in a Park in Toronto across from the Main Entrance into the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition), and it was removed decades ago. Could that be the Lancaster you`re referring to? I always wondered where it went, and I would LOVE to see it fly again...and hear those engines roar!
@@iankirkpatrick264 Thanks! Now I am really curious to know where the Toronto Lanc went! Maybe it`s also being restored somewhere in Canada...hopefully!
430 of those lanks were built in Milton Ontario Canada at Victory Aircraft. Hamilton Ontario has a museum with an airworthy Lancaster. The sound of those engines, goosebumps.
Is this part of a TV series? I saw the one where he trained as a Second World War Pilot. He started on the Tiger Moth, then the Havard, and eventually the Hurricane, all in the capable hands of Anna Walker.
Anything mechanical, Guy seems to able to "get" it quite quickly..... Guy landed a Tiger Moth biplane fairly soon after having a few lessons. Guy can truly claim his crown as the Fred Dibnah of all things mechanical...... he seems capable of building, fixing and operating anything with moving parts in or on it.
He has already learned to fly during another tv series he was in. He even got to be in a mock dogfight! th-cam.com/video/Y7kjvZrc_Ow/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/PEgHpBda2Tk/w-d-xo.html
Yes, as Brian says the Flight Engineer had sufficient training to steady the aircraft in the event of the pilot being incapacitated to give the crew the opportunity to parachute but was not trained to land.
The production Lancs did only have one pilot, this restored aircraft has been fitted with dual controls as a requirement of the Battle of Britain memorial flight.
Year 3? That was 2 years ago! What? Why has there not been any involment since & if it has why does it take 2 years to share? My gosh man! Ethier way love the video's a bit short if I must add

I hope the people at East Kirkby manage to get her into the air.
The BBMF Lancaster seems a bit lonely on her own.
Same here
For sure,then get the Canadian CWH Lancaster to come back too....I think there's one in Alberta Canada as well...I believe insurance is crazy.

Did he take the job ?
Oh dear
Just sitting in the seat with power off I would just lose my shit and cry. Firing up the engines would end my life. Such a beautiful creation.
