While I was aware of the operation and it's goals, I have never seen a video cover all of the information in such detail as well as real footage. Well done!
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic rest of your week :)
Same here. I've wondered for years how the pipe could have been flexible enough to coil on a drum. Congratulations on your research.
That they only ended up providing 8% of the fuel isn't the point. The point was that they ultimately didn't need them to provide more. Had the conventional means to deliver oil been unavailable these would have ended up having a huge effect on the war. The cost of winning the war includes the cost of contingencies both utilized , and unutilized.
Great insight! Appreciate you watching and have a fantastic week :)
absolutely, if ship-borne supplies were interrupted it would have been 100% of the fuel available.
My late mother worked for Perelli in Southampton England. Her job checking the quality of the lead lining of one of the Pluto pipelines. Pluto pipeline under the ocean. Mum lived to the ripe old age of 94 passed away in 2014. Not affected by lead ever.
Very cool, and thank you to her for her service!
Thank you to her for her service…
Lead isn't exactly toxic. The term 'plumbing' is because all water systems were made of lead for centuries (millennia if you count ancient Rome). Another shot of Hidden History perhaps.
Just think they did all that without the add of computers all they had was a pencil, slide rule and there brains.
THEIR brains
And just think, today you can't even get your fast food order at the drive thru window correct.
Thanks for watching and have a great rest of your week :)
The Tay Bridge was designed using the same technology, and just look what happened to that.
@TK-ri7pl what do you expect from minimum wage workers?
Im from Corby and we have an estate called the PLUTO and used to have a pub by the same name
That is very cool! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
As an eleven your old boy would see things from a bedroom window- For days Swansea Bay was full of every kind of ship, then one day, on opening the heavey black-out curtains every one of them was gone. Then, bits of Mulberry Harbour - from on shore and from every small drydock took their place, and they too wer gone. The difference being - we did not know to where the ships had gone, but we had some idea to where Mulberry Harbour was taken. OFF THE SUBJECT BUT VITALLY RELATED
That is absolutely incredible! I would definitely be fascinated for life having seen that as a boy. How I wish I could witness some of those things from WW2, even if they would’ve been terrifying!
Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
just incredible the planning..the adaptation of factories and machines to produce and benefit the war effort..the multination effort and the willpower, determination shows why this generation will be always considered the best..great detail in this video..thank you HH..
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic rest of your week :)
Yes, the majority of innovations, engineering breakthroughs in WW2, etc, came from Britain's wonderful, hyper-adaptable Small Companies..
Just when I think, there can't be much more to learn about WW2, you go and surprise me. Great detail again, thank you.
right!?! Ive literally never heard anything like this. Brilliant!
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic rest of your week :)
Millions of people's stories of a 6 year war.....surely there is a massive amount left to learn.
how have i never head of this story before.. Where do you find this gold?? I guess its called HIDDEN history for a reason haha. You da man!
Hehe
Another well done, well researched and expertly presented story few people know about. Keep them coming!!!
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic rest of your week :)
Everyone in Britain who is even slightly interested in the War knows about PLUTO and the fake ice-cream shop.
Fascinating! I'd never heard about this. Great upload, thank you.
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic rest of your week :)
Fuel is the ultimate ingredient to any conflict
Indeed! Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
The Germans had had a huge demand for hay and grain
Never to late to learn something new, thank you
To or too ?
Thanks for watching and have a great rest of your week :)
@@HiddenHistoryYT did he mean to or too and in which order, could you help please ?
Thank you for a very detailed video
Thanks for watching and have a great rest of your week :)
Very well done, thank you for the work you put into this.
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic weekend :)
Good video. Didn't know Corby steel works produced the pipe. My old man served his apprentiship there in the 1970's.
Wow, that is so cool! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
This man is a wealth of knowledge. Wow, I never knew about this.
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic rest of your week :)
I am impressed with the dress of the factory workers in this show. They display more class in an industrial plant than most people do getting on an airplane in today's generation. How I miss the classy ways of old.
Very interesting point that I had not even considered, but you are correct! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
They had proportionally more funds to spend on clothes and luxuries. Rent was cheaper. Food was cheaper. Regulations were less strict.
The dress of people who had been told that a camera crew was coming to film them.
They remind me of my grandfather (born 1905). Working class through and through, and probably only owned one suit, but I never saw him not wearing the suit with a waistcoat underneath.
Clothes were much more expensive proportionately in those days, and also they were rationed in wartime so people had to do a lot of home mending, adaptation and buying second hand clothes. But people felt that their appearance displayed who they were, and that persisted. It was always drummed into me growing up in a middle class family even in the 1960s as a boy I had to be "a credit to my family" when I went out, and expectations were higher still for girls and women. My mother and her girl friends would have been horrified by the thought of leaving the house without a fashionable dress, high heels, hair done up, full makeup and nice accessories - even just to pop to the corner shop! They really looked down on people (especially women) who dressed badly.
The pandemic seems to have made things worse and nowadays, nobody seems to give a toss about their appearance. Scruffy clothes, trainers and cheap-looking sportswear dominate everywhere. The big marketing budgets of the sportswear companies have brainwashed people into thinking that their ugly, cheap-to-make, high-profit plastic shoes are somehow "fashion". I make a point of dressing smartly wherever I go, and people are always asking me "are you going to an interview?" or similar!
Like you, I miss the days when people cared about what they looked like.

The prototype sections for this were tested over the seawall at Queen's Dock Swansea. Two pipes were hocked over the wall. . the hose sections were linked run out into Swansea Bay and connected to the other pie alongside the out flow. The Anglo Iranian Oli Refinery was at Llandarcy. Pumps were already on hand to do the pumping.
Very cool, thanks for sharing! Appreciate you watching and have a great rest of your weekend :)
Wow what a great vid.Never knew about this great work .Also i dint know about the Seamans brothers being involved in this great project.
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic week :)
Really good video thanks 👍👍👍👍
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
What feats wartime necessitates..! I never heard of this before. Nice compilation of various video and great narration.
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic rest of your weekend :)
This guys voice needs some PoP Otherwise what a great video The footage and info is Top Level. This guy has some serious potential to make history buffs take notice. Have a few drinks and try the narration. Sounds like he is reading a book to us, That's minor but its so good it could hold its own against any video out there. This was awesome info as I am a D-Day nut
Nice vídeo man
Greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic rest of your week :)
Pluto was a failure, Lines snapped, swept away. At one time several groups of American bombers were converted into tankers flying tens of thousands of gallons of fuel into France for tanks and trucks. 100 octane flying 80 octane.
Thanks for watching and have a great rest of your weekend :)
Never heard of this before. Remarkable achievement. Thank you. Lack of fuel is often cited as a primary reason contributing to the fall of Germany.
Often forgotten important part of war! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
I had never heard of this either and 25 years ago mixing with WWII vets - was never told. Most likely they never knew.
If you walk between aling the beach between Calshot and Lepe in Hampshire in the UK, you can see the place where Pluto started from. It was pumped from what is now Fawley Refinery.
That is very cool! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
@@HiddenHistoryYT there are sections still visible on the Isle of Wight plus in the tiger sanctuary grounds a pump used in the system is still in situ in one of the older buildings
Very interesting film. Showing it was not quite as easy to lay and use the pipelines as we were led to believe.
Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Incredible
Fascinating.
However, this wouldn't be possible today.
Between the multiple year-long feasibility studies, the weekly lawsuits from environmental groups, and the dozens of monitoring stations that 'someone' would insist on using to do daily sampling for leaks and contamination, the Germans would have had an easy time of it.
Thank you to the greatest generation.
Appreciate you watching and have a great weekend :)
Sometimes people forget about logistics when fighting a war. That's why Ukraine targets any Russian supply lines they can find. I still don't understand why Ukraine doesn't sabotage the rail lines at the border, and of course keep tarketing Kerch bridge.
Maybe the most important part! Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
Keep hitting Moscow.
Rail lines are very easy to repair
The resources are better spent on more valuable targets
A basic rule of warfare is to leave your enemy a route to retreat.
Be interesting. Thank you
Appreciate you watching and have a great weekend :)
The importance of planning ahead
Indeed! Appreciate you watching and have a great weekend :)
My appetite has been whetted as your comments have come. Among my musings, in the light of what L have gained, I can see why the strategy would be to approach the Anglo Iranian Oil Company. The Government owned 51% of the shares. The Company itself was set-up because of the change over from Coal Burning to Oil Burning for the Navy. It's only refinery in the UK was at Llandarcy (named after the French oil prospector xxx deArce. Their other refinery was at Abadan at the head of the Persian Gulf.) The Queens Dock Swansea was built especially to facilitate the importing of oil - the 28ft to 42ft tides providing the deepest entrance water (in the western approaches) to the King's Dock. Everything needed to get PLUTO underway was conveniently at hand.
Should do one on ice cream lol
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll have to look into that! Appreciate you watching and have a great weekend :)
When trying something new and innovative it is difficult to determine whether it will be successful or not. If it had succeeded as it had in the trials then I'm sure everyone would be Praising the accomplishment. Not only do we learn from our accomplishments but also from our mistakes.
Completely agree! Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
From the Mother Ship? Oh wait, that's allies not aliens!
😂😂
I can’t believe these guys are wearing vests
Pluto? Are you sure the American military did not develop this tech? America LOVES their acronyms...
😂😂 Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Only failures lead to future advances. Everything that we consider successes today. Have com from previous failures
Spot on! Thanks for watching and have a great week :)
The US was a major oil supplier! We were selling oil to Japan before the war!
Appreciate you watching and have a great weekend :)
Use maps when you talk about cities, islands, etc..
Have since! Appreciate you watching and have a great week :)
Boolonya is in Italy; Booloin is the French port . . .
Where did you get some of the info? Cause somethings are completely wrong
Such as?
PLUTO.
Should be a planet!
Not Roo-enne, but Roo-ogn. As the French would pronounce it . . .
Not so good! By providing so many names and details you appear to have this exciting event rather boring. Also, you might provide a few more maps and have pertinent information on them. Great effort! Best of luck!
The facts of the operation are amazing. Yet you sound so bored it's hard to listen too
I always wondered I see history of ww1 and WW2 how planes ⚓ ships could travel but it's fuel ⛽ consumption needed cryogenic applications comming and going through places usable requirements...I did for getting curiosity a month or two sa componsation talking about this subject s... OMG 😱😳😳😅 it's tooo much oilyed driving those stubborn vechiles weights and lifting mud stuck vechiles slowed down and got fired for late delivery 🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚🚚 men work
Thanks for watching and have a great weekend :)
😉👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks for watching and have a great rest of your week :)
I would be interested to know if the pipeline is still down there? Someone should get a dive expedition organised! The channel isnt that deep. What happened to the big floaty drum??
I believe less than 10% is still there. Appreciate you watching and have a great weekend :)
Petrol Line Under The Ocean. Pipe line, might have been a American abreviation. Not it's name. There were some nine in all. Several came in father northand manu shiploads of jerry cans and 200 litre heavy steel drums.
Thanks for watching and have a great rest of your weekend :)
Delivery was very flat. Makes it hard to listen to you. The best adjective to describe how you speak is "droning." You really drone on. If you look History Guy: History Deserves to be Remembered, study how he delivers his own lessons. He has a gift for story telling that brings history to life as he speaks and doesn't come across as droning at all.
As to the topic, this was quite interesting. This is not something I have ever seen covered before, but there can be no doubt this was an absolutely critical piece of history regarding WW2.
WTF IS A LONG TON 😂
1.12 US Tons haha
@@HiddenHistoryYT wonder why the difference in terminology
@@rileyontheroad England being on imperial and the US isn’t. So makes making videos fun having to switch between the 2 or choose 1 of the 2 to say terms in haha
Too long. Should be edited to half. If anyone wants extreme detail let them look it up.
Watch on 2x speed then 🥰
😂🎉😅😊
