When is Guy Martin going to show up on the Queen's List? Imagine, "Sir Guy Martin."
No doubt
Brew in one hand explaining that he has to get back and fix a box on a scanny
I hope NEVER We don’t need the recognition of a Queen They are now irrelevant
We have taken back our power ✊🏻😏
I think he wouldn't accept it
Not worth hassle
@@lukejennings3128 I'd support that. He's like a modern day Fred Dibnah.
Occupies the same sort of space.
Did Fred ever get a gong?
Bloody should have.
Luv and Peace.
Don't forget the helicopter pilot that flew the helicopter for all those air to air shots, that would be me and Peter Thompson the cameraman who made me look good. 😎
Hats off - I am one hour away from my PPL(H) skills test and it's not as easy as you make it look...
I will never forget, when I was 14 ,me and my mate waved at a spitfire going over my dads farm in rural Leicestershire , He saw us and dipped his wings, I'm 40 next month.
Reading that give me goosebumps
Bet that was amazing!
@@Lew699 It was, I'll never forget it, when ever I hear that sound it takes me back, I was brought up on war films and WW2 battlefields tours, and now I work on the site of 207 Squadron at Langar Nottinghamshire.
Knob head !
imagine going into work and Guys destroyed half the building playing with his RR merlin engine
yeah i havent stopped laughing at the movie in my head
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would take one of them buckets of tea, Stand nex to him arm over his schoulder ald laugh my @ss off.
I've never had a smile on my face for 11 minutes, 9 seconds until today.
Yeah my cheeks kinda hurt too...

@@parkeranderson5074 of course, you would know Mr PowerStrokage
BFB-DanceySteve I own and work on PowerStroke diesels. 👏
the fact that he appreciates all these things that have happened to him because of his hard work makes me like guy even more. actual legend
I nickname you the telex. no capitals. excited to see you applying one full stop. incredible. TA TA TA TA TA TA TA DOT TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA TA
Are you a steel machine smelling of weapon oil? You are not human. Period.
@@voornaam3191 what in the good and holy fuck are you talking about?
Guy Martin is literally my spirit animal. His passion for anything mechanical is purely addictive. How he acts is 100% how I feel. Like a kid in a toy shop at every thing that moves. How he hasn’t been knighted I will never know 😂
Before Guy Martin gets knighted, he will first collect antique bits of steel, blaze a coal fire and forge the sword for his ceremony himself. Only a perfect sword will do.
Sorry, chances are, his head will be chopped off, by accident. Oopsy, knight! Sir Guy, thy shall not believe me, however, I tell thee, a sword can be too sharp! You'd better make a blunt sword, and sharpen it later, when thou art a knight. There is a novel by Dostajetski, named, The Rather Old Royal Lady And The Heavy Razor Sharp Sword And The Dead Knight. Very rare indeed.
That sound. That his daughter's got to see it fly...majestic.
Wonderful. As a brit in the US I got the same emotional reaction when I stood next to a Spitfire in the Air and Space museum in Washington DC. I tried my best to explain the importance of it to my US friends. It isn't a plane, or even an Icon. It is a symbol of the moment when the British dug the deepest and the bravest were called upon to literally defend a nation.
Its far more than the greatest plane ever made. It is the soul of a nation.
Although the Hurricane………….
@@falconeaterf15 Was the plane that won the Battle, poor old Hurricane is the true star of the show. The Spitfire was like a shiny new E type Jag and the Hurricane was the Austin Allegro on steroids, the spit has it beat for looks but the hawker could be patched up in 10 minutes if damaged, 10 days for the spit.
@@gonzo3915 & falconeaterf15, there were twice the number of Hurricanes, and they got the easier of the targets going after HE111's, DO17's and JU87's.
My Grandad was a manager of a jute mill in Dundee and that was a reserved occupation so he was never drafted but he volunteered to be a fighter pilot and joined up.
He crossed the atlantic on the Queen Mary dodging all the U-boats and ended up in Canada to do his flight training. He was there for about 2 years and graduated with his RAF wings as a fighter pilot.
The war ended before he could be deployed.
He always talked about how much fun it was to fly.
In his late 80s he bought me a flight lesson on a small 4 person single engine plane from the local airport.
We went but I insisted he take the yoke and fly again.
He did and was still good at it. He performed level turns as he'd been taught and the instructor was satisfied he had no comments.
I videod the whole thing and it was a very special and lasting memory for me.
His RAF wings are displayed on my mantelpiece.
He was a very special man.
Luv and Peace.
That's a really nice story, glad you got to share that with your old man
Guy is probably the biggest reason I am so proud to be BRITISH. He is an absolute legend and what makes him so wonderful is the fact that he just thinks he's a normal human being.
well said such a down to earth person 👍🏻
I was born in the UK too. Not sure I class being born somewhere as an achievement to be proud of though.
@@PhyllisGlassup2TheBrim i don't see why you wouldn't unless you're embarrassed/ lack nationalist pride
What a legend you can see the love and emotion in his eyes when he's in the Spitfire....seems like such a down to earth bloke and doesn't show off his many amazing skills and talents. So humble, he doesn't need a sword to make him a Sir, he has more respect now than some knight's have ever had
"To get an emotional response out of me would take a bit of doing." - Guy Martin, world's most excitable twelve year old boy. 🤣
Guy is just a guy who loves life. Bloody Brilliant
Soon as he said "Dog fight Ai.... AHAHA LUCKY BA****" cuppa at hand 😂 he really appreciated the opportunity. go on guy 👌
Guy has an amazing capacity to be intrigued and fascinated with things like a giddy child. Too many of us lose this when we grow up. More people need to be like Guy and truly experience and enjoy life. Never lose that quality Guy. It's rare indeed.
A genuine decent down to earth bloke who I could listen to for hours over a few cups of Rosie lee, only guy would start a engine from a Lancaster bomber in the garage at work🤣
You could see the memories flooding back in as he watched that over.
Best noise in the world.
Guy is the modern day Fred Dibnah and for that I'm so grateful, I'm only 29 so never knew about fred until a few years ago and he truly fascinated me, I feel guy exudes the same energy.
Just Brilliant, on every single level, to restore a crash landed Spitfire. It's a honor, dedication and a wonderful tribute to the Pilot & his daughters.
Built to Perfection with the help of Guy Martin's high Standards. A dog fight with a BF109, absolutely amazing. I love to see those two aeroplanes fly in harmony. Brilliant.
I flew in a Tigermoth from Duxford this year,
what it must be like in a spitfire would be out of this world
Guy smiling with absolute joy, just lights up your day. Proper down to earth Brit.
Hi guy martin.
Proud of you Sir.
U r so humble.
But no doubt u r a superhuman.
Seen u on a television series touring India.
Respect to you.
With Love from India
Loved this clip, I liked that he stopped racing and concentrated on other passions. He had nothing to prove as a TT racer. He was on podiums, doing it part time! PART TIME! Imagine if he had done it full time? That must have annoyed the other competitors lol My man
They all do it part time.
@@hoonaticbloggs5402 Not true, some competitors are circuit racers, and some are wealthy 'jobbies'
As someone putting a tiny bit of work on restoring a DC-2 (PH-AJU) I can relate to the immense amount of pride in being allowed to do so. The idea of some of your life being inside rebuilding a historic airplain, there's no words to describe.
During my education I was lucky enough to end up in the company school of Fokker and I've been lucky to work on some very special projects (including the unicef flyer), but that DC-2 was just something different.
Paul Farnes, a BoB pilot who died about a year ago, in an interview pointed out that at the time, the Spitfire was not held in awe and enormous admiration as it is today. It was just another weapon as many aircraft were, and whilst he and his squadron mates were happy with the performance and fighting ability of the machine they also understood that it had an equally deadly foe in the Bf109. So unlike today, nobody was wandering about gushing over the Spitfire which was busy making it's reputation and the reputations of those who wielded it as a weapon successfully.
Spent time as a boy in the 70's at the Duxford Military Air Shows ... every time a Spit made a low pass I got the hair stand up on the back of my neck ... brings it all back!
No fear very humble and a nice guy
This guys dangerous 😂
I was lucky enough to be able to sit in this spitfire a few weeks ago at Duxford what a machine.
What a thing of beauty!!! Best looking plane ever!
this lifts my spirits like nothing else, Guy inspires people with his enthusiasm and hands on graft
Oh Guy, yer such a fan boi! We love you for it! Good for you! Fond memories, and absent friends, even and especially the ones we never got to meet. God Bless!
I could listen to that all day.
Living just down the road from Duxford, I’m lucky enough to see Spitfires fly over my house almost everyday. Still get goosebumps every time.
Isn't this the guy that also won the TT Race? Wow!
Guy Martin makes my very proud of being British, which is funny given I'm Italian.
This aircraft is such an awesome piece of history im 27 and used to love reading war based comics and making models from the hobby shop when i was younger. My respect and passion for it all has been reignited. thank you guy and your crew from new zealand 👍
Hell yeah, fantastic achievement, complements to the whole team who worked on the project for so long. Awesome and bloody well done....love to see those legendary planes fly again,restored in their old glory,gives me the shivers.....
"You're flying a spitfire" ... not many people have had that said to them 😂
Especially as he was being flown by someone who was formally the third ranking officer in the RAF, Air Marshal Sir Cliff Spink , also of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight before he retired from the RAF. To be flown by him must have been extra special on top of going up in a Spit.
I know if I ever got the money and privilege to get a trip in a Spitfire I'd dearly love to be flown by Sir Cliff.
That one made me a little misty eyed.
I did my work experience at the BBMF and it was insane! Love his love for WW2 planes!
Goosebumps just watching that flypast
Was recently a air show near my house at arbury hall they had a replica ww2 plane doing dives and the sound it makes instantly gives you chills its just crazy
The bit with the massive grim on his face where he says like a little kid at Christmas "I'm aving a go in a spitfire, I'm aving a go in a spitfire" made me laugh so much that would be my exact same reaction haha.
My grandfather was a Spitfire mechanic with the RCAF in WW2...
The look on his face...... I loved working as a volunteer at Duxford in the 70's. I was based at RAF Hendon...... not too shabby either.
So good I nearly cried. Wonderful thanks Guy.
Wonderful ! Love Guy’s enthusiasm !
He's just brilliant! Thanks for sharing.
I sat in a mk1 spitfire once...I actually burst into tears, I felt like I'd been there before.. a deeply strange experience
Maybe you were there before in your previous life.
@@overthewebb that was bit deep there
I’m very, very fortunate to have a sat in a genuine Mk9 Spitfire which had confirmed “kills”..
The mechanic going over the start up procedure, while I hung on his every word.. Certainly had goose bumps and even a tear in the eye..
It was certainly a mind blowing experience, looking up along that huge Merlin engine in front of me, thinking about the young men who were fighting for their lives..
What struck me most was the lack of visibility out of it, especially considering other young men would have been out there trying to shoot it down..
Heroes each and every one of them, along with all the ground crews keeping them in the fight💕💕
I also got up close (but not into) a Mustang in the same hanger. Then stood feet away as a two seater prepared for a flight, then took off..
What a day, certainly one I hope I never forget🤞🏻🤞🏻
This guy does everything. What a legend
Best sound in the world!!!!!!
such a genuine bloke,perfect for this type of show
i live on isle of wight and see a spitfire fly nearly every day and always get choked up my ears pick up when ever i hear that engine
My god he looks a proper wolfman with a beard
What a sight and what a sound the best sound. What a great achievement 👌
Hadnt seen this, ( living n the in the USA), till tonight , magic !
Guy is a young Fred Denbigh - a really nice guy!
BRILLIANT! I LOVE THIS!
Amazing Guy..Amazing video..very emotional..thank you
tears watching this i cannot imagine the feeling
good video guy really enjoyed it we need you back out there telling these stories bud!!
We can seethat beuty and the beast in the air 🔥🔥🔥
love the plane's sound
He just lived my dream.
Must have been really special for the ladies to have see the spitfire their father used to fly soaring through the sky again!
I like the Mk 5s with their Kenneth Williams "Oooooh matron" lips on the air intake thingy beneath the prop. Cheers for the upload. Great stuff
The MkV was considered a sweetheart by most pilots
Great aerial POV/footage, and a genial host; kudos.
Awesome Guy 👍
Spitfire...best looking and sounding plane ever. Living in Australia I have never seen one flying except on video, but I would love to. Trouble is these days they can't take passengers and can't fight, so they are redundant and not worth building but for curiosity.
Magical
Great video mate.
Thank you so much for this video
From a bloody yank
Brilliant
I literally weep with emotion when I hear a Spitfire engine.
❤ The spitfire !!
my fav plane everrrrr !! nothing like it ....
LOVE
Amazing....
FUCKING LOVE GUY MARTIN, TELLS IT LIKE IT IS, NO BULLSHIT, SHOULD HAVE WON A HANDFUL OF TTs, + HE IS A NORTHERNER, SAME HAS HUTCHY, AND MR MCGUINESS TO 👍☦️
10:07....that noise! goosebumps! listen to that Merlin roar!
My father pasted last year... there is only one thing I have wished to inherit from him... an aluminum sand cast model of a spitfire made from a downed Japanese zero in Port Moresby PNG made by my grandfather, serving as a sergeant at the Australian POW camp based in Port Moresby. during WWII
Quality 👍
Pure soul food.
how could life get any better
For a moment to me it sounded like he said the Lancaster bomber still runs with one missing engine!
daka!-daka!-daka!-daka!-daka!-daka!-daka!-daka!
My mate Chris was working on fitting the engine there.
Top, top bloke 👍👍
3rd .....the spitfire sure is a beauty of a machine!
Nice 👍👍👍
There we go lads, proof that in this world Guy Martin is the player character and we all just generic NPCs
Lucky Barst :) TFS, G :)
Now help restore the Lancaster Bomber NX611 Just Jane!! She's being made flight worthy, will be amazing to see Guy involved with this
That would be a job many men would give everything to do to sit in that spitfire! Envy is rife here 😉 that Rolls Royce merlin engine is sounding so good to the ears. May whoever fly her for the many years to come stay safe.
This awesome. Wish we had the same spirit here in germany about our ww2 tech. But it’s mostly gone
Jammy git,😁👍👍👍👍👍
Jay Leno was saying how when Packard got the blueprints for the merlin to make them under license, the tolerances were to wide for mass production.
What he failed to mention was that wider tolerances don’t matter when each engine is hand measured and assembled. Yes it took longer but each engine was put together how a race engine is, where as Packard mass produced them.
Niice
grinning like a cheshire cat watching this!!
