Thank you Canada for allowing Vera to come over. Saw Vera, Thumper and the Vulcan flying over Waddo. There is footage of Vera and Thumper flying over East Kirkby with Just Jane on the tarmac. Just think, this was 2014
My father was a rear gunner in the Lancaster bomber during the war. Last week we went to Duxford,and my dad and I went into the Lancaster bomber, it was the first time I've ever been in a Lancaster bomber. I was born in Hemswell, where my father was serving in the RAF,after the war, I was born in Lincolnshire, and lived by the base. When I was 72yrs old they used to frighten me when they took off..
May I say thank you to your father for his efforts back then! My mum was WRAF and I had two uncles that flew wimpys one was a navigator and the other a pilot! The navigator! never did lived beyond one raid! the other used to Jon us on our boating hols! Sadly cancer got him in the end! I know that being a gunner was a particularly dangerous job! thank you once again!
Fabulous Merlin octet Thankyou. These two superb aircraft must be preserved as long as possible, and hopefully NX611 flying along with them, In memory of all the airmen of UK, Canada,Oz , SA and NZ who flew hundreds of them around dusk every night heading east over Lincolnshire, to reduce the NAzi war machine, many of whom made the ultimate sacrifice.
My late father in law was a rear gunner in PFF and flew in Lancasters he went to Peenemunde, the Big City and Dresden us others. I also have a dear friend who sadly has left us now, he too was a rear gunner and went with Mr Tait to put a Tall Boy through the roof of the Block Haus d'Eperlecques aka the Watten Bunker, and dropped on another op Grand Slam. RIP Pinkie and Raymond - and all who perished. See you at the bar in Valhalla my brother airmen and you too dad!
I was lucky enough to be camped in a field not far from RAF Connigsby some years ago, early in the year as the lanc made it's pre -eason shakedown flight. It passed me so low and banked I had a clear view of the pilot giving me a wave, yes they sound awesome, but you don't just hear it, you feel it!
It's a very privileged to see two. Lancaster bomers at the same time . Very outstanding plain . as the spitfire brilliant. to see . after all these years .💖
Stephen Diskin, Two of best every airplanes every built. Would have been sensational to watch Vera & Thumper flying. Thank you to all the people who are dedicated to keeping these beautiful airplanes in the sky. Hope one day to see Just Jane up in the sky also. My deepest thoughts to the crews who flew in the Lancaster's and all the RAF airplanes in WW2. God bless
They're aeroplanes ‒ not 'airplanes'. The RAF isn't American. Please use and preserve our English language and avoid adopting unnecessary Americanisms. xx
I've a friend who lives in coningsby,when the jets go over,nobody bothers,spitfire or hurricane people have a look up,Lancaster goes over everyone stops what they're doing and looks up
++Keith Warner++ Odd phenomenon that! You see something similar where steam locomotives are concerned when even the remotest hills are adorned by groups of people waiting in the rain for Tornado or Flying Scotsman to go by. Nobody waits about for a Pendalino!
My first time in an aeroplane was a Lanc during the latter stages of the War. We had watched and heard those marvellous planes coming and going over the years and the sound never got old. My dad was a civilian on Airfield Maintenance and Construction and on this day his lorry was parked near a dispersal area. I was Invited on board by the pilot who was going to do his pre-op run up. Some years later, now in Uniform, I was on leave when the Dambusters' film came to my town. I was escorted past the queue and no-one protested. Just after the Pathe News and before the film, the lights went up and i was introduced. Great applause and much embarrassment to think that I was being linked to those heroes. My own flying was much more mundane going against the Russian Bears. I now get to watch and listen as the Merlins of the static Lanc at the Nanton Bomber Museum here in Canada are run up on significant occasions. We can never match the sound nor can we equal the courage and determination of those men. Those two great veterans will always remind us and other generations why we enjoy the freedoms that their sister kites brought.
Lived in Herts UK for a large part and would instantly know that sound. That deepness was always easy to recognise and I’d be scanning the skies looking for our Lanc. Live in Sydney now and really really miss seeing the Lanc, Spitfires and Hurricanes going over for Duxford, shuttleworth or whatever air day it was. Thanks for posting
One Canadian was attempting to raise another intact Halifax from a watery grave where it's been since making a perfect landing off the coast of Ireland after suffering engine-failure while on a weather-reconnaissance mission (all the crew survived). The airframe was considered to be worth salvaging but the recovery effort doesn't seem to have started.
I am hoping that when just Jane is up and flying the city of Lincoln will fly with her then we in Blighty will be the lucky ones the sound of the Merlin engines is music to your ears
Squadron Leader Young to Wing Commander Gibson in the Offiicers Mess prior to the dams raid "Can I have your next egg if you don't comeback?" Laughter, ! Gibson " I'll have yours if you don't comeback!" Next morning at breakfast, Gibson had 2 eggs. His friend Young was dead.Lest we forget.
Imagine a Bomber Command base in the 1940s many of the Lancs and Halifaxes taking off will never be seen again. Imagine the grin on a Luftwaffe fighter pilot's face when he sees how slow they are. They even mounted a gun behind the cockpit which fired upwards and would approach the bombers from below ( the blind spot ). The bomber crews literally didn't know what hit them and it was a long time before they realised what was happening.
A great aircraft, with great engines, and designed by geniuses and flown by heroes, but why tf can't we get over the fact it was decades ago and no longer relevant?
Imagine a thousand of these flying overhead, it must have been hell for those people in Germany, knowing what that sound meant. No-one could have imagined the sheer loss of life and damage the aerial war would bring. Yes we won, but what a devastating price to pay-on both sides. Thank you for sharing your presentations, both proud and sad at the same time.
My father knew exactly what that would sound like! He flew more than 60 missions over occupied Europe as a mid-upper gunner on a Lancaster Pathfinder during the war. We who came after owe so much to those brave young men. R.I.P. Wilfred G. Young, D.F.C.
@@davidyoung5114 - 60+ missions is remarkable. Your father and his crew mates are a credit to the Royal Air Force, our Queen and Country. Indeed, rest in peace, sir, and thank you. 🇬🇧🌹
And can you imagine the elation on those other European countries that feel to the Nazis hearing and seeing 1000 of these in the sky. Knowing they were going to be liberated.
I saw them flying together at Duxford. What an amazing sight. I'm waiting for "Just Jane" to finally take to the air and see her flying alongside PA474. The future? The two together AND the canadian lanc flying over in formation. Pure magic.
What an amazing video.The sound !!!I It must have taken hours to edit.Must admit it brought a tear to my eye.Well done - look forward to more of your uploads.My Mum would have loved it
Thank you RAF, thank you RCAF. Thank you all other dedicated people who made it possible that we witness and enjoy this, and our freedom today. Bless you all..
What a beautiful day that was...just imagine squadrons warming up for op over the continent...scores of Merlin's thundering all over the place !!!!!....brave crews all of them ... heroes all of them....there must be more lancs in the world in need of restoration and put up back where they belong...I hope that they find them....
a fitting tribute to the brave pilots and crew of these magnificent planes .that they are still flying after all these years.every time i hear the roar of those merlin engines ,it sends a shiver down my spine.
As an American...I admire my bombers. The B-17 and B-24 and such. But still love the RAF's Lancaster! Fabulous! And Packard built some of their engines. In memory to all the nations who risked their lives, and to some who paid the ultimate price for our freedom!
I joined the RAF BECAUSE of this aircraft and became an aircraft engineer. I so wish I could borrow the Tardis and go back to listen to 50 of these starting up ALL THOSE MERLINS! and watch them climb away towards Germany. I went to 2 airshows to see these wonderful aircraft. The one at Easy Kirkby is eing prepared to return to flight one day. On that day they promised that the Canadian one will return and THREE LANCASTERS will tour the UK!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Brilent video ,enjoy it a lot ,I saw the two lovely avro Lancaster's fly at duxford airshow,lovely to see both of them fly together ,and I love the dambusters music 😀
I go to Coningsby often to both sites only ever seen this parked up never getting ready to go would be great to see it ,,, but the typhoons are amazing and the noise ,,wow just wow ,,to all at coningsby you do a great job
Absolutely wonderful show, the landings were superb,as was the musical accompaniment, brought back memories of when I was a five year old kid, watching brand new Lancaster's leaving the Yeadon Factory of A V Roe, doubtlessly flown by ATA girls to their respective airfields ready for action against the third Reich. Many thanks for a good show. Terry Offord.
Terry Offord and VErA made in Malton, Ontario as many hundreds before at AVRoe Canada. Canada contributed a hell of a lot of machines and men to the wars, and were always an also-ran. Eh did our jobs for king and country
One of the most disturbing things about both much recorded History in both Wars. I have seen so-called "historical" articles which ascribe Juno Beach to "British" troops and Bomber Command as entirely British. Many Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis and others manned RAF Squadrons of Lancs and Halis and Sterlings and Wimps and Mossies while 6 Group in Yorkshire was a Canadian Group. WWI was even worse in its "Colonial" view of real History.
@@teaeff8898 Anyone with any knowledge of Britain's history in battle will know that from Vimy Ridge in the First World War to Dieppe, to the D Day landings and subsequent fighting around Caen. The Halifax squadrons as well as the Lancaster crews- the Canadians have earned their battle honours and have always stepped up to the plate. Our respective governments nowadays would hide under the table with their fingers in their, er, ears. Here's to the saviour of Personkind.
The way Churchill treated bomber command and all its air crew after the war was a complete disgrace. These boys were carrying out the orders of high command and in a certain way braver than the boys of fighter command as the bomber boys flew longer missions with little protection apart from the poor machine guns the Lancaster was equipped with. The bravery and stoicism they showed is a lesson to us all, a lesson few will learn.
Churchill was regarded as an interfering ignoramus by one of his top military advisors. He was hyped-up by the wartime propagandists, a politician first and foremost when a General Election was in the offing, someone lacking sufficient integrity to recognise the sacrifice of the bomber crews when doing so might have cost his Party some votes from an electorate shocked by the extent of damage to German cities.
My father was in one of those Lancaster bombers; a Pathfinder no less! And once they returned from bombing rail lines to prevent the Germans from sending reinforcements to attack the beachheads, when my father's Lancaster went back over the English Channel, there were so many ships heading for Normandy, he told me that their navigator said that according to the plane's instruments, they indicated that they were flying over dry land. Just try to imagine THAT sight!
@@davidyoung5114 - fascinating story. That must have been a sight to behold, and of course we musn't forget the Navy lads who did the equivalent of your father and his crew. 🇬🇧🌹
We traveled to Farnsworth to see these two. Unfortunately Vera was disabled. Can't say it was a "complete" waste of time, though. Great trip ( we live on the Pacific coast).
Indeed, no thought is given to the very men and women who gave their all - their lives included - so that we have the freedom to play and win such huge sums of money. Oh well, at least it's reassuring that those who post on this and similar videos would not forget to set aside some of their winnings to their memory.
50 years ago I was 7 years old me and my dad built a Lancaster Bomber airfix kit they hung over my bed a long with a Spit Fire and 2 other aircraft we made I had them for years. I think that’s where my obsession for planes came from.
Would have loved to have been still stationed at Coningsby for the sight of two Lancs being there,thankfully having been there in the 1980's I used to see the BBMF returning from airshows around the country - like a wonderful stepback in time,and of course as rememberance to all who flew,fought and suffered for our freedom from nazi tyranny,and more importantly,to those who never returned,of which there were many,R.I.P. To those who now fly in clearer skies.
Goodness !!!!... I have been behind the news !!!!....I pray that those awesome Lancasters are going to be in flight soon....rip to the young men of bomber command...and God bless you guys if you have not passed and can still see these two in flight...
All of us that are living in a world without tyranny must not forget about the price paid by Canadians , Australian , New Zealand , British , and others that made it possible for you and me to be where we are...I'm praying for the Lancasters to grace the skies once again !!!...
un régal de voir en vrai ces avions qui nous ont fait rêver dans notre jeunesse ne serait ce qu'avec des maquettes mais qui vivait l'enfer et la survie pendant la guerre.

Don't know for sure but I doubt. Griffon was quite a late development and the Lancaster was a mature design that did not need improving for the role it undertook - unless of course STEALTH technology was available.
good news mom and i and bc aviation museum is restoring avro lancaster fm104 after she moved from toronto ontario to victoria bc main goal is to restore avro lancaster fm104 to airworthy conditions

Only three flying Lancasters were available for the filming of "The Dambusters" in 1955.

50 years ago I was 7 years old me and my dad built a Lancaster Bomber airfix kit they hung over my bed a long with a Spit Fire and 2 other aircraft we made I had them for years. I think that’s where my obsession for planes came from.
Would have loved to have been still stationed at Coningsby for the sight of two Lancs being there,thankfully having been there in the 1980's I used to see the BBMF returning from airshows around the country - like a wonderful stepback in time,and of course as rememberance to all who flew,fought and suffered for our freedom from nazi tyranny,and more importantly,to those who never returned,of which there were many,R.I.P. To those who now fly in clearer skies.
Tear to my eye
There are three more in the works! Two in Canada and one in the UK!!
Goodness !!!!... I have been behind the news !!!!....I pray that those awesome Lancasters are going to be in flight soon....rip to the young men of bomber command...and God bless you guys if you have not passed and can still see these two in flight...
All of us that are living in a world without tyranny must not forget about the price paid by Canadians , Australian , New Zealand , British , and others that made it possible for you and me to be where we are...I'm praying for the Lancasters to grace the skies once again !!!...
Wow! Amazing video and aircrafts 👍
un régal de voir en vrai ces avions qui nous ont fait rêver dans notre jeunesse ne serait ce qu'avec des maquettes mais qui vivait l'enfer et la survie pendant la guerre.
LOVELY.....................
wish we could get more up in the air
Very nice!
Hard to imagine the noise of 500 of theses beats on a raid ?
would love to have witnessed one of Harris's 1000 bomber raids!
I HAVE A 12 INCH VINYL LP, OF WARTIME ORIGINAL RECORDINGS, OF MOST PLANES THAT TOOK PART IN WW2--ALLIED AND AXIS. STARTING UP, TAKING OFF, FLYING PAST. --ETC.MY-- FAVOURITE TRACK, RECORDED AT NIGHT, IN A NORFOLK HEDGE- ROW, OF A 1000 BOMBER RAID THUNDERING OVERHEAD, EAST BOUND, WITH BEAUTIFUL BIRD SONG, TWITTERING NEARBY. TERROR ACCOMPANIED BY BEAUTY.
Imagine the fear and the noise of the 1000 bomber raids
Poor little young and innocent children who had absolutely nothing to do with the horrible Nazi regime.
@@Bjornontour shame you forget the young innocent victims in the uk of and the blitz ,the baidecker raids and indesriminate bombing of coventry which had its own type of bombing given to it,"to coventrate" now fuck off
A great video :D Thanks for posting :) I notice that neither Lancaster had an H2S blister.
2:41. Magnificient!!
Maybe someone will know, later in WW2 the Spitfire was fitted with the Griffen power plant, did they put these bad boys in the Lancasters also ??
Don't know for sure but I doubt. Griffon was quite a late development and the Lancaster was a mature design that did not need improving for the role it undertook - unless of course STEALTH technology was available.
Never heard of any so fitted, I'm sure the Griffon was used only in later models, maybe the Lincoln. ??
The Griffin was only used in the Shackleton. Lincolns used Merlins as well
I was able to go through VRA when she was here on Calgary
Bravo Zulu CWH
What happened to the Spitfire ready for takeoff? The Lancasters were a sight to see don't get me wrong

Thanks for sharing this video! Best regards from Sweden.
I was there that day at Little Gransden. Never ever forget the place going silent , apart from the eight Merlin. Breathtaking.
I love this!
I do like this. I got to go inside one as a kid at MOTAT in west Auckland I will never forget it and it started a lifelong passion for flying.
Sounds amazing
Great show. How about flour bombs on a target from 12000 feet or so. I'd love to see just how good they may have been.
Soon there will be 3 flying
Unbelievable,what i would do to go up in a lancaster ❤
Avro Lancaster é o famoso " esquife voador " .
I take it the second Lancaster is from Canada ??
Yes. The one marked VR@A is commonly known as the "Mynarski Lancaster" and is kept at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum outside of Hamilton, Ontario. www.warplane.com/aircraft/collection/details.aspx?aircraftId=4
