Lancaster "Just Jane" Flies Again?
Переглядів 10 тис.Рік тому
Just Jane Lancaster NX611 is currently 6 years into a 10 year restoration at East Kikby, Lincolnshire to return her to flight and along with BBMF PA474 and CWHM VERA KB726 will be a much anticipated third flying Lancaster Bomber. This initial taster animation video shows the three Lancasters flying together.A full video will follow to show them flying low over the Ladybower Reservoir and Dam co...

Ater 15 years, I thought it was about time to bring Victory to life to encourage me to complete it. I was going to animate a full 52 gun (one side) ripple broadside but all the hypervoxel smoke render times were horrendous! The music is Vaughan Williams "Fantasia On A Theme" By Thomas Tallis, being an excerpt from the film "Master and Commander".

    Just spine tingling.......well done...when the Canadian Lanc was here both Lancs ,Spits Hurricanes flew right over my house several times VERY LOW tree top level on the way to Eastbourne Airshow and back.The whole place shook , and the sound was deafening I shall never forget it, perhaps one day all three will be able to fly together low over my house.......can you see thousands of Lancs flying in formation behind them,Ghost Riders in the sky? they are there, if you close your eyes.........lest we forget. The front of a Lanc always reminds me of a British Bulldog, coincidence? don't think so.... STOP PRESS ! i DONT BELIEVE THIS ! SPOOKY.....Just now after writing the above about 10.30 at 8/8/23 what sounded like a LANC flew low over my house, I rushed outside ,I didnt see it a few mins later I heard it in the distance but couldn't see it....Universal synchronicity or coincidence ? its not the Airshow as far as I know. JUST READ The Eastbourne Airshow is from 17th Aug to 20th, so what I heard wasn't hallucination just a practice...WOW

FR47 Seafire (VP441) in the 'Reflectaire Aviation & Military Vehicle Collection' based @ Blackpool's 'Squires Gate' Airport from 1970 to 1973.

  • @luotio
    @luotio Рік тому

    Nice looking but some physics is definately wrong. I have been wondering this since the series. As soon as the platform releases the shuttle from clamps, the shuttle would need to use its thrusters to maintain angular momentum as it is not dead center of the rotational axis. To make docking and undocking anyhow maintainable with a rotating station, a ship needs to be exactly aligned with the center of the stations rotation, have its own rotation matched and a platform with docking clamps raised to meet the ship. If a ship would get even slightly of the center it would require a use of very complex thruster patterns to match the rotation around an imaginary point of space, or the walls would come crashing to it.

    • @jdgindustries2734
      @jdgindustries2734 Рік тому

      Keep in mind, it was mandatory for any ship docking to slave their nav computer to the docking computer. Probably for exactly that reason.

    • @luotio
      @luotio Рік тому

      ​@@jdgindustries2734 But the thurster plumes should be visible on the scene. After the ship undocks, it needs to be firing thrusters on sideways towards the rotation of the station and at the same time up from the opposite side to stay in sync with the station. I know this is a minor detail and does not really matter for the story telling but this has always bugged me.
