My dad was one of the RAF pilots that flew them, beautiful plane. He was so proud to have flown them in formation we still have the Photo of all ten of them in the air at the same time.
What a glorious spine chilling drone from those RR Tyne engines
Went aboard this aircraft 20 years ago when it was loading mirage spares bound for Egypt at Saint nazaire. A captain crabtree showed me on board.
This plane was built by Short Brothers Belfast. Only 10 planes were made. This plane is now retired and is stored in Cairns Airport Australia
More like discarded on the apron!
That's a seriously rare aircraft, awesome to have it preserved in a detailed video.
Thank you for the video. My grandfather was a "fitter" at Shorts Belfast and worked on every Belfast built. Great plane
OMG, what an extraordinary video!👍
One hour pure aviation nostalgia!👌
Absolutely impressive!
Thank you, JP!👏
Wow. A blast from the past. Thanks
I worked on the last one of these in RAF Service - XR366 ATLAS - Her nickname was 'The Slug' for obvious reasons - not exactly fast! Nice to see one flying again.👍👏👏👏
JP....this (classic) video was nice to follow! Many thanks for posting.....You connect the world JP;)) stay safe...lovely greetings Betsy.......
Absolutely incredible ..outstanding as always thanku so much love and god bless x
In the 1980th, I've worked on the Short Belfast Engines Tyne 515 at MTU. A nice remembering !!
Cool cargo plane! Thanks for the video!
Always loved the huge Belfast, as a young lad I used to watch them on their maiden flights out of Belfast Sydenham airfield. Over the years have been on board quite a few of them at various airports. Just two left, Cairns and Cosford.
I worked in Short bros as a radio/radar tech, only 10 were built. A great plane to have flown in! Was on board when flown from Belfast to RAF Brize Norton.
Wow! Now THAT is a real workhorse. Built strong! Also, just to realize how much time has passed, there were no smart phones to speak of yet (everyone was still using those Nokia flip phones) and there was no wireless internet accessible to everyone. Time marches on as they say.
Very interesting video : the old Barajas, Spanair and others... and a DC-8. Thanks
I used to work on these aircraft at Brize, nav, autopilot etc. Brilliant aircraft. Brings it all back.
I recognise the Loadie, Dave Swallow, knew him back in the TMAC days on the CL44. Is the F.E Al Rash?
Just visited the one in Cairns, QLD AUSTRALIA, very impressive aircraft, i hope they can get it to a museum oneday to preserve it, it rains a lot in cairns!
Great video, impressive planes, I believe they had Vanguard engines (Rolls Royce Tynes) and Britannia tail and wings! About the same capacity as the current Airbus A400M, but much slower! A real time piece...
Great vlog as always! «Cleared to FL230» She is very optimistic. After a long struggle, FL170. Lol!
When Heavy Lift acquired the aircraft from the RAF in the 1970's I had the job of moving g the spare props from RAF Quedgley to Southend Airport, Sat on a low-loader trailer, they were 15 feet high. I did 6 loads in all in a week. Monday - Saturday. On arrival at Southend, I unloaded in the hangar where the Belfasts were stored. I could drive under the wing despite the height of my load.
awesome, thanks for this video

Was in Daker Feb 83 was on RAF Tristar as a passenger and we parked up alongside a Belfast was interesting to see we were both parked on a apron quite far away the terminal
Thought we didn't get the Tristar until 84 ? My first encounter with them was around July 85 at RAF Ascension
@@Techy111 hello there you are right my first flight to Ascension was in 83 think this was by an chartered BA 747 it was probably 6/84 when we met the Belfast at Daker I was en route to the Falklands at the time and the third time I flew all the way was to MP airport just with a fuel stop at Ascension this was then again on the BA 747
@@kennethgrindrod6438 Yes mate I was at Ascension for 6 months in 85 and went down on the chartered BA747 and the Tristar took over the route July time, what trade mate ? I was MT and aircraft refueller at Wideawake 👍🇬🇧
@@Techy111 I was not in the RAF although my dad was he did his 22 and a bit more I was in the Merchant Navy and was on a tanker based in the Falklands did 3 trips down there,enjoyed my short flight on the Wessex out to join the ship that took us down there got a couple of photos somewhere of the Tristar would have been a catch to take one of the Belfast
@@kennethgrindrod6438 Maersk lines by any chance? 😊
The Audio is absolutely shocking!!
I wish they had better cameras back then
Ex HeavyLift Belfast still sitting at Cairns airport in Australia.
Seriously. Wow, how many years has it been there?
@@justplanes in storage at Cairns airport since 2009. I think they did engine runs on here in 2017-18 maybe and nothing since. She is painted all white.
@@bearcatracing007 oh wow thats a long time... and too bad she hasn't flown again... likely never will
@@justplanes If you check Wikipaedia, it seems like the plane is stuck there as a result of a dispute about airport fees...
Looking up the registration for the aircraft shows that the aircraft in the video is the same aircraft that's sitting in Storage in Carins. Heavylift only had one of these so now we know where this aircraft is today.
Can’t believe they only made 10 of these magnificent beasts. What a crying shame. When did the last flights take place?, not long after this video was made I guess…
Ok . Shorts ' successor Bombardier could have made an SC 5 Mk II with a two Man digital Cockpit and modern engines.
to where was the last leg??
Sadly the Concorde Fbtsc took off from that same runway just a year before.
Right!
Father of the A 400 Atlas.
Only two survive out of ten constructed. After the Armenian earthquake, Britain donated some JCBs and Heavylift had to transport them with a Belfast because the tiny cramped RAF C130 couldn't even accommodate them never mind carry them!
Enceladus was still outside when I trained at Cosford a year after its arrival. We stood on the internal balcony and looked down upon an internal load area that could have accommodated most of a cricket pitch. A sensation not repeated until seeing inside the AN-22. Imagine if this had been equipped with contra-rotating props, slightly swept wings and... WOW!
As for this aircraft - 'Hector', I wish I had the money to return him to airworthiness and bring him back home - even if I had to learn to fly and do it myself. Doubtless there'd be a serious fight for the privilege though, Ha ha ha. Maybe enlist its last crew too if they wanted to participate.
Is the person sitting in the middle the flight engineer?
Thats correct
Great Memories of the days i worked at Heavylift at Southend in the 80s.
Waiting
The co-pilot could be mistaken for my grandson, and I'm 35.
What kids of plane on this video?
Short Brothers C.1
This is exactly the sort of aircraft you would expect to see a tired, greasy middle aged man who looks older than he is with a moustache sticking a banged-up yellow tow jack on to on a grey day in washed out colors.
😍😍👌👌👌👌
Classic all those now non existent airlines
