Cellphone Video. Commentry by Brian Emmenis talking to Gripen Pilot Rehan "Kaine" Venter. Sonic Boom at around 1:50. Gripen flown was SAAF SAAB JAS-39C, serial number 3917. Lots of wind noise as the southeaster was pumping. Sonic boom was a bit soft...

What a fckg machine
I remember the Lightning at RAF St Athan BoB open days back in the late 70's / 80's, they were extremely Loud, fast & the last Move was a Unrestricted Climb, So fast it was unreal, just wish the RAF had kept one flying as a Air Display Machine, Even today I don't think there is anything which does an unrestricted climb like a RAF Lightning Did.
Pretty sure the Typhoon does unrestricted climbs just as well if not better, it's pretty much the king of vertical takeoffs, F-15's don't do a bad job either, don't get me wrong I love a lightning and would love to see them flying again.
Lived 10 miles away from Binbrook and never saw them only heard them as they were so high😅
The wings are only there to separate the nav lights
Powaaa everyday!
ZU-Bex crashed killing the pilot. The crash report says a day before the pilot had difficulties shutting down the engine after a fligh
Yes, very sadly. Despite the owner saying they were all totally blind-sided by the incident and how it could've happened, and with a pilot who supposedly knew the aircraft so well, one read of RAF pilot memoirs 'Lightning Boys' (a great read!) very quickly tells you it was a textbook failure and the next day's crash was 100% inevitable after that issue. Vico649, you likely already know if you've gone as far as reading the Accident Report, but for anyone else, in short: The engine conks out prematurely during shut-down, with pressure build-up in the fuel/oil (I forget which) busting seals and spraying flammable fuel/oil all over the inside of the fuselage. Once the engines next get red-hot again, it's a matter of when, not 'if', that oil/fuel ignites, incinerating all hydraulic lines to the tail's control surfaces in roughly 5seconds from the first of the two 'Engine Fire' warning lights coming on. The RAF quickly learned at great cost the only answer was a total strip-down, clean-up, and replace all the seals before any attempt was made to restart or fly the thing again. It's staggering how the engineering team at Thunder City could do enough background research to get the thing off the ground again and yet seemingly somehow still have _no_ idea _at all_ about its _major, and publicly known_ weaknesses.
@@michael32A Yes. The failure of the engine to shut down after the pilot had landed and brought the plane to a stop was a clear red flag that something was seriously wrong. It's a pity that such a brilliant airman in had to fly again the following day. Probably, the show's organisers may have put him and the maintenance crew under immense pressure to 'ready the plane' to perform the next day.
who needs a harrier
TESLA haha junk
I was there on that fateful day this Lightning crashed at the Bredasdorp Air Force base, South Africa, November 2009. It was really sad. Fortunately it crashed out of sight of the public so we were saved the horror. Everyone was devistated. The show was them called of.
I read a report on the crash that the pilot had difficulty shutting down the engine the day before after landing following a flight. The engine had continued running by itself for a few minutes. RIap.
@@Vico649 There were a lot of speculation and I dont think there was any clear conclusion on the cause of the crash. The pilot did radio in that he was going to dump some fuel over the sea. On his way back, the aircraft basically went down nose first. Unfortunately, there were no flight data recorders or voice recorders so the real cause was not established, or fully established anyway.
There is actually a full flight and crash investigation report available online, hard readt@@johansteyn59
The full crash report is available and paints a damning picture of [maintenance] mismanagement. Terrible story.
Converting noise into lift...brilliant.
With power like that I sometimes wondered what the wings were for.
Because without them it wouldn't be able to take off. Duh!
@@MarcGordonChandler You've completely missed the point. Duh!
Worked on them at RAF Wattisham (29 and 111 Squadrons) and in Cyprus (Akrotiri, 56 Squadron). Happy days!
I was on 111Sqd in 1974/5 ,armourer ,then finished up in the armoury ...Brilliant aircraft
My father (an armourer) was also at Wattisham in the very early seventies (I had just been born) and while I was too young to appreciate the Lightning then it was around long enough for me enjoy seeing at open days years after that. That thing was fast!
Two x's and one x.
@@seanjoseph8637 That's right! Dates back to a Painter & Doper when the squadron was formed, back in the days of biplanes.
Bought a 1/72 Steel Model, i often just stare at how beautiful it is... My wife said we weren't having it as an item of decoration in the lounge, now she loves it😂, and i mean the plane!!!
Wait til she gets the full-size one in the front garden!! 😊
23 Sqn flew these. Some of them were at CFB Baden Solingen some time in the 70s. When they left one of them screamed over at low level. I was in the laundromat at the time and the roar over head put such a look of alarm on the face of one of the women that was also there.
ZU-BEX suffers technical issues.Pilot fails to eject due to faulty ejector component(s).
Very poor sound unfortunately ...
I was browsing the air museum at Old Sarum in Wiltshire and there, of all things, is a prototype Lightning!
Is that Mike's Lightning? If so RIP legend
Man that was 1 Big Fucking Weather Balloon, I Have 3 Weather Balloons 72 inches which measures Im gonna Take Guess 7 Ft.
I would ad a distortion to the (video) sound.
So this is an amazing engie run of an at least more amazing aircracft.. - what has happend with that wonderful aircraft since 2014.. ? All best wishes from germany!!
Saw one at Farnbourough go vertical, both candle lit, we could feel the heat............then it was gone
the mic peaking omg
12 ft off the ground, then vertical
That was with doubt the greatest sight I ever saw while in the AIR FORCE a light go vertical
Yes , I saw that at an air display. Very noisy.
Just a shame they couldn't have maintained Pelican 16 as well as this one, then maybe it wouldn't have ended up crashing in the Sahara desert!
The thing is this: that plane is SOOOO heavy. The thrust needed to make that thing go vertical is unreal.
28000 pounds empty weight compared with a Typhoon 22000 pounds.
To go vertical the thrust from the engines needed to be equal to, or more than, the weight of the aeroplane . It’s known as “unity”. In its’ day, the EE Lightning was unique, and must have been quite a sight when exiting clouds, vertically, to confront the Russian “bear” bombers!!
It's a crying shame that none of these are flying any more. Hopefully the one in Georgia will make it into the air & we can all see how amazing this aircraft was & still is. BTW, for all the armchair pilots, the lack of range was NOT a "flaw", this aircraft's mission was to get very high VERY QUICKLY & intercept incoming soviet aircraft. It didn't need range because by the time the intruders showed up on radar they'd be pretty close to RAF bases anyway.
Hey, how you liking this $7.50 gas and WWIII? Bet you wish we didn't have a spineless elderly pussycat in charge.
Mississippi. Not Georgia. There are also three in South Africa and one in England that may fly again. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Electric_Lightning By the way. How much did it cost you to fill your gas tank recently Dump Trump? Do you miss him yet?
@@garybaker6067 biden sucks
there wont be anything flying at all if we dont stop this new green deal BS. trump 2024
@@andrewdonohue1853 Maybe 2023. Could happen.
Eat your heart out Phantom.
Those Roll-Royce Merlin's are a dream. Thanks for posting the video. I hope they invest the money and get this beauty Air Worthy! Albany, NY USA
There mk58 griffons inside
Beg pardon sir, but Those Merlins are Griffons
That's what I love to see a build speed up in the horizontal followed be a vertical climb out. I've seen this many times and always worth the wait to watch the EE Lightning in action at past airshows. Some folks think with the modern jets full on vertical accent is new but lightnings were doing this in the 60's . Before Concorde was retired, in a NATO exercise with a number of NATO planes taking part to catch a Concorde being the target plane the EE Lightning was the only plane to catch and overhaul the Concorde. If Concorde was around today there is still only a few planes that could achieve it.
OK, it was a "hot ship" Lightning from RAF Binbrook but yes, it caught up with Concorde as you stated. The same Lightning also dived down on a U-2 at about 70000 feet! To say the American pilot was surprised is a bit of an understatement!
@@stephenphillip5656 Mark Felton has an excellent episode covering this on his channel.
0:47 sounds like a turbo prop plane. Or a helicopter.
British and beautiful!
She's so ugly she is beautiful.
As a teenager growing up in Cape Town, I'd be out surfing and watching these lovely planes flying out to sea on patrol. Loved watching them.
Wickedest prop display I have seen a long while!
The British Shackleton's you see in the picture's are Mk2 a improved version of the Mk 1 the original aircraft designed from the late 1940's and they both had tail wheel arrangement. They were both phased out and replaced with this aircraft the Mk 3 that was given a nose wheel as the length of the fuselage had been increased. The Mk 2 however out lasted the Mk3 and was later brought back into service as the AEW 2 (Airborne Early Warning) that the one everyone remembers with the big chin mounter radar, they stayed in service until the early 1990's.I don't know if the South Africans had them but in the British Mk 3's had two Viper jet engines housed one behind each of the out board griffons that had a electrically operated air scoop this help take-off with max all up weight.
hello nice thanks
Why this airplane have nose gear and de british have tail Wheel.?
Tricycle landing gear allows for a shorter landing space and better visibility while taxiing. This was one of a few modifications requested by the South African Air Force.
Now there's 18 minutes of my life I'll never get back!
That's my old friend. I made the documentary The Death of Pelican-16. Now available in the UK. 4xforum.com/product/death-pelican-16
did yall find it
Fuck yeah!!!!
zoom out too
move seats next time to get away from the glare if you can. other than that, nice clip
just loved the burnout!!
Very Good!
