Lancaster Take Off From Southend Airport
Переглядів 193 тис.8 років тому
Video of Avro Lancaster PA474 as she taxied, held and then took off from Southend Airport on Sunday 14th August 2016 bound for Eastbourne and their annual airshow. Note the crewmember looking out of the hatch just forward of the upper turret. Fantastic noise from the four Merlin engines as the crew power them up and I am surprised at how quickly the tail lifts as she moves down the runway.

Two Stanier Black Fives double heading the Cathedrals Express railtour to Norwich on Saturday 6th December 2014. The two locos make an impressive sight as they enter Southend East. Apologies for the grainy footage, it was shot in full HD believe it or not but the light was poor as the sun was only just coming up. It was also very cold!
Their is nothing like the sound of Merlin.
Never gets old!
Wonderful .. I took my PPL at Southend in 1975 ... last flew from there in 2014! Learned to fly with Edward Clack's club, SLAC ... The most used aircraft was a PA28 .. G-ATVK but several others over the years. The Lancaster backtracked down what was once runway 24 (now 23) and took off on what was once runway 06 (now 05). There used to be a runway "15" in the 70's and probably previous decades. It was a pretty short runway and is mostly still there as an access way crossing the main current runway, 23/05. I don't know anyone who ever landed on it but no doubt Edward Clack did at some point.
That is an expensive aircraft to keep flying, those Rolls Royce Merlin engines are not cheap
Just seeing it sitting there my thoughts were just imagine a fleet of them waiting to go terrified and scared stiff Young boys thanks for posting a great video
A pity the camera hadn't been positioned so that the plane took off over it.
We should put one on a plinth in traf square London
Very brave and courageous chaps. The debt of gratitude is enormous.
How big are the front tires?
The best British had a real 4ugged machine. Manned by guy's pushed to the wall no wonder the Success......
Lancaster is my baby I love it...❤️🌼🌺🌸🌹🌹🥰
Like a bird. Good job man 👍
we had a free delivery OF ONE courtesy of a 110 mm Flack GRANADE on our Farm LAND STOP WAR MONGERING
I'm surprised they even manage to get off the ground considering the sheer size and age of them.
Along with B17 Flying Fortress, won the war for Allies. Germany had the FW 200, Goering was a fool not to use more often.
The lightweight Fw200 was a converted airliner and could only carry a light bomb-load: the same applied to the Ju290. Only the He177 was a true heavy bomber but it had many faults.
Wow
When the Pilot opened the Taps @ 4:38, a shiver went straight up my spine!! Seeing the Old Girl get up was wonderful. In the air, where She should be 😊 Thank You, BC, Thank You. Per Ardua
Thank you KC
A fine ship that served well!
Boy that was a tough assignment in the first half of WWII The 8th Air Force bomber crews had a 33% chance OF LIVING out there tour! Thanks god we figured how to extend fighter ranger and the P51 came along!
There was one Australian Lancaster squadron, that a book was written about that I read . His was the only crew when he joined as a pilot who survived the 24 missions . All the others shot down or killed .it must have been hell living through that .
The flying fortress indeed.....
It was so very nice seeing a Lancaster here in the States, at the Reading, PA WW2 weekend several years ago. I can't help but notice the old church at 4:52 and wonder if it was witness to the roar of Lancasters in the dark days of the '40s.. No doubt...much respect from this side of the pond.
Thank you. That church has indeed been witness to a lot of aircraft movements over the decades. So just some background - During World War 2 the airfield was known as RAF Rochford after the nearby village. There were squadrons of Spitfires, Hurricanes and Bristol Blenheim's based there but Bomber Command did not base Lancasters there. Southend On Sea is right on the Thames Estuary and so they would have been an easy target plus the length runway would not have coped with fully laden bombers. Today the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight occasionally uses Southend for refuelling their old warbirds during the summer air show season.
@@maitken2852 Thank you for that extra information; nice knowing the history of the airfield.
@@hovanti My pleasure.
My Scout group is associated with that church. It dates back to 1100 AD. In the graveyard are graves of fallen soldiers and airmen of both World Wars.
Never forget.
My uncle Fred was a rear gunner in a Lanc during the war, he did 27 ops over Germany. Survived the war and lived in Peterborough.
A Blessed Man. I Salute Him, Monty <o
looks like you don't need much of a runway for takeoff.
Just beautiful ❤️🤍💙

My dad was a mid-upper turret gunner on Lancaster’s with 101 Sqn. 32 missions completed between March -October 1944. I visited the area where he flew from in the UK back in 2015. Significant losses were experienced by the Sqn during that time. I have his aircrew log book. As I was also military he eventually shared a few remembrances. Brave men. Challenging time. Never forget.
we fish very near the war museum duxford and all day long spitfires and hurricanes flying in and out and regularly tip their wings whilst flying over the lakes.
Ultimate Warbird. This one's empty, imagine taking off in a Lanc with full bomb load!
Thanks for recording this.
It is a beautiful aircraft, but I don't think the Germans thought so in the early 'forties!
No mockneys were harmed during the making of this wideo....but a table full with jellied eals and pie and mash and watery beer was blown over😬
My Dad would have loved this! He loved Lancaster Bombers And worked at Southend Airport for a time! Thanks for this!
RIP to the 55,000 RAF lives lost in WW2 in Bomber Command. This video symbolises their sacrifice.
I live on the flight path to Biggin Hill, about 5 miles away. So on special occasions, the RAF Memorial Flight flies directly overhead at relatively low level & there's no mistaking those Merlins from miles off, I rush outside to watch them pass overhead!
I was in The RAF at Biggin hill in 1958 when the memorial flight was formed( spitfire and hurricane) we rebuilt the Spitfire! We were 41 squadron flying Hawker hunter jet fighters. I was an aircraft electrician.
Lovely aircraft, good see. We sale CCCP turbine heli (HIND) jet warbird ( MIG) . Lancaster slow bird graceful. Sorry bad English spell, no interpreter tooday. Greeting from Russia (Girood) airfield/hanger. ♥️
I believe there are only 2 that can fly, its a big shame for freedom of europe
Yes, 'Leader', the BBMF (Battle of Britain Memorial Flight), Lancaster, based in Coningsby, Lincolnshire, and 'Vera', the Canadian Wartime Heritage Lancaster. 'Leader' changes her identity once every few years to honour a particular Flight crew. When 'Vera' came over to the UK 7 years ago, she was in her 'Thumper' identity. Haven't seen her in the air this year. She's been undergoing maintenance and is currently elsewhere (but we're still hoping she'll come back to Coningsby, even though we're nearing the end of the flying season).
I thought that thing was never going to take off
My Uncle was a navigator on Lancasters. 406 (Goose) Squadron RCAF
It looks deadly. Glad they were on our side.
this is the sound of modern britian. long live brexit
NUTTER!
The Nazis had no chance with a mob of these overhead...
you can never forget the wonderful sound of them 4 merlin Engines
They weren’t much fun for crews any of the RAF, Australian & Canadian Heavy Bombers . A member of one Australian squadron wrote a book . I forget his name , but his was the only crew of his squadron when he joined who survived the 24 mission tour of duty. As well as being very cold & uncomfortable, think of the fear that those crews must have experienced .
That was true of pretty much every plane of that era. The B17 and HE111 were no more comfortable for their crews.
The escape-hatch on the 'Lanxaster' was too small for an easy exit if you were wearing a parachute: there was no attempt to enlarge the exit hatch.
One beautiful bird.
My Dad flew these surprisingly graceful beasts with bomber command, and talked about them with great reverance for years after the war. Such a special plane, every bit as much as the Spitfire and Hurricane!
you can just imagine being a German Fighter and you have a spitfire or a hurricane be-hide you with 8 303 gun's firing at you stick your head between your knees and kiss your bum good bye
Majestic machine.
My dad was a fitter and loved working on these fabulous aircraft.
There are only two in the world now after 17,500 were made the other on is in Canada a lot of brave men never came home to their loved ones so R.I.P. to them all we will remember them all
I could feel the air vibrating just by watching this! One can only imagine what it felt like during the war.
What's better than the sound of a Spit Merlin engine? 4 off em in the Lanc.
the unmistakable sound of freedom, 4 merlin engines.
Freedom? Whose freedom?
What a sight. What a sound. Goose bumps at first sight. Love it and respect it and all of there crew 👍. 🏴
best sound in the world is hearing 4 marline Engines rowing down a run way there was 7,500 make and now only 2 in flighting conation one in the UK the other is in Canada
