*Heavy Breathing*
+Rom Alsi It really is awful isn't it
I hear Eddie continually breathing into the mic
And you weren't struck dead just by the sheer awesomeness of being in his presence?!
I think I just realized how much I like the sound of your voice, Jingles. Awesome work with the tour; I hope it spurs people to see it for themselves!
Jingles. You should head to the Seattle museum of flight
To think that Jingles is only in his 40s
It's closed for now, limited opening in June, I think.
I've had it for over 20 years. Weyland-Yutani badge on the right breast, USCM badge on the right arm, USCSS Nostromo 180286 patch on the left. ;)
Dude i'm so jealous you get to go to these Meusums! I want to go to one, the big one that has the Spruce Goose model:3!
i picutred him to be a lot younger wow:P
TheIcelandicPatriot Awesome, glad to see we have him to go to muesems, I was so jealous when he went to That Tank even Euroupe
TheIcelandicPatriot I now when half of the rother youtubers don;t( Btw Canada Tanks are on WOT!
Ah ok
there's one where I went two a few years ago that had the spruce goose it was in Oregon somewhere I do t know exactly where but it's huge
JINGLES!! In McMinnville Oregon USA, they have the coolest space and air museum. They feature the biggest wooden airplane, the Spruce Goose!! PLEASE REPLY!!!
I've been there, it's amazing.
I love the 747 on the roof.
i have to lol
I'm sure Jingles would love to go there if you pay his air fare :)
Been there, nice museum. Refreshingly roomy after all the European museums that cram as many display items into as small a space as possible (mostly because they don't have nearly the space they need nor the budget to move to larger premises, if such can even be attained).
I actually live there lol
As an addition to your words at the end, Jingles, the Museum is always happy to hear from volunteers with any experience/knowledge of the aircraft, as well as cleaners, painters and just general staff. Sure, you don't get paid, but you get to spend all your time amid these wonderful planes.
Imagine doing your rudimentary flight/combat training in a Tiger Moth and then a few weeks later you are shoved into the cockpit and in control of a 667kph/345mph/360kts Spitfire , having to dogfight and down Me 109's and Hinkle's , then ending your career flying a Vampire. Astounding.
who is breathing so heavely on your video ?
"If this aircraft was a woman, i'd tap it" - Jingles 2013
Right when he said that, I started to not be able to breath.
The spitfire is absolutely beautiful. I have had the glory of seeing one in real life twice, living in Windsor,Ont where we have two in shape spitfires.I had the same reaction when I first laid eyes on a spitfire. Boy,are they wonderful!
I've been to that museum about 3 times in my life. It's amazing. I used to come there with my cousin who is an aviation nut and loves everything having to do with planes.
Jingles, I live in a place in Norway and right beside the local airport there is a flight museum. In it are a number of aircraft from the Second World War. As far as I remember there is a catalina, and a number of other WWII planes and motors. They're currently reconstructing a German floatplane that crashed into the fjord during the war. It's in a good condition as well. Also, if you didn't know already they've found a Do217 off the coast of the uk in good condition which they will be repairing
Jingles if you're ever in America and in Virginia, there's an air museum called the Udvar Hazy Center, and it has a TON of aircraft including the SR-71 Blackbird. Give it a look if you're ever here!
I used to work across the road from Duxford, in the summer we used to get our own private shows when they were practicing for the big events. It was an awesome way to spend a lunch break, lying in the sun watching a F8F, Sabre or Mustang looping overhead!
I am planning to go on the 26th also, hope you enjoy the show!
If you get to the states, I would highly recommend the Military Aviation Museum in Pungo (Virginia Beach) Virginia. Large collection (60+) aircraft on premise, 90% are in flight worthy condition, RAF Goxhill control tower, and a hangar from 1938 Cottbus Germany. one of the highlights is a flying De Havilland Mosquito
Been to the US twice, Baton Rouge and New York. Visited the Met and the AMNH while I was there. Not a lot of aircraft on display. ;)
I've moved to a town of 30,000 people in New Zealand, and here we have a very rare functioning tiger moths my grandfather is an enthusiast and went up in it and he's 75. That's who'd trust their lives in that plane :D

I live in the States, and at the air museum in my town, they had three Corsairs and a P-51 Mustang. I got quite happy in the pants. Not to mention the bomber with 7 machine guns pointing out the front.
The de Havilland DH.100 Vampire was a British jet fighter commissioned by the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Following the Gloster Meteor, it was the second jet fighter to enter service with the RAF. The Vampire served with front line RAF squadrons until 1953 and continued in use as a trainer until 1966, although generally the RAF relegated the Vampire to advanced training roles in the mid-1950s and the type was generally out of RAF service by the end of the decade.
I take seeing a Spitfire for granted as we have one in our museum in Stoke on Trent. They nearly got rid of it but the city made donations and now it is safe. It is cool though as they have one of the Hispano guns out on display so you can see the whole thing
Jingles seems like the nicest man. Great voice, good disposition. Someone one I just enjoy watching and listening to. Cheers.
This reminds me of the Naval Aviation Museum here in Pensacola, FL. They're working on getting the Kittyhawk Carrier converted into a museum and docked here, it's gonna be great.
Just the one. A much prized Solent Haggis thought to have migrated with a herd from the Highlands back in the 1970's. The leather from the Haggis is much sought after being sturdy enough for jackets and coming complete with buttons and pockets; added bonus being that the Haggis comes in small, medium and large..
if you EVER go to Washington, make sure to check out the air museum. there are two very different ones but one has a b-29, saber, hurricane, all sorts of stuff. super cool.
This video brings mack so many good me.ories of watxhibg ji gles back in my seinor year of high school. One of my favs.
Hi Jingles! You're going to like a lot the Duxford museum visit, but notice that it takes a lot of time to visit the 7-8 halls this museum has. I was there the whole day and I couldn't finish it! When you arrive you must go directly to the planes, RAF and USAF hangars and then to the precious tanks hall, this will take you hours of joy. Then visit the rest of the halls if you have time left :)
The Link Trainer - there is a section of the Roberson Museum in Binghamton, NY with a nice display of the Link Trainer, plus other early aviation items. If you are in the area, check it out.
Jingles I believe that the first plane you pointed out was a flying flea, a plane meant to be built and flown by anyone after a few lessons, it was made illegal to build and fly after a series of accidents from people skipping parts of the building process.
What a great addition to your channel, glad to see you out there promoting history in the real world!
Jingles, you are a terrific guide and narrator. Thank you
I enjoyed your video of your museum visit, and look forward to more videos like this. It is probably the only way I will be able to see these historic machines.
You have got to go to Duxford during one of their summer airshows, they never fail to impress. 20 Spitfires of various mks at the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Britain one, I was only 10 at the time but I'll never forget the sound of the roaring engines.
i went to a carrier once and they had a hellcat,a different variation of the f9f panther i forgot its name but you could get in the cockpit ,some modern jets like the f14 and lots in between only american planes and no bombers.There was also what I think is a cruiser and there was a submarine to.
There is a museum in RAAF base Williamtown called fighter world. I remember seeing a hawker hunter, vampire, mirage III, ME-109, Mig-21 amongst other things. I personally love the F/A-18 and my Father loves the F-111 pig.
Thank you for this video. Not everyone has the chance to go visit places like this, so the guided tour is much appreciated.
the thing you first pointed to is a 'flying flea', I don't know the French name but many people in the UK built this plane :) I visited the Eagle in 1958 at Istanbul - I enjoyed wandering amongst the Vampire jets on the deck. And if you are in Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada, be sure to visit the Shearwater air museum which has a "string bag" on display!!
Awesome video. I've been to this museum a few times and thoroughly enjoyed it. I seem to remember you can ask a member of staff to take you inside the cockpit of the Sandringham. They can only take 3-4 people at a time as its so cramped, and they need accompany you as the only way to get into the cockpit is up a small ladder (see 5:14) Defiantly an experience to remember. On another note, I believe my uncle flew Sea Vixens many years ago but he never speaks about it.
Great video Jingles! That looks like a very interesting museum to visit.
The de Havilland Vampire was apparently a fairly common sight at one point where I live, flying low along the River Bann in Northern Ireland. My father also used to work at Langford Lodge in Northern Ireland where Martin-Baker had (still do I believe) their high speed rocket sled which was used for testing the ejector seats.
Jingles, if for whatever reason you wind up in Oregon in the United States, Head to the town of Mcminville, they have an air museum that has the Spruce Goose and an SR 71 BlackBird. Another museum in Tillamook Or is inside an old zepplin hanger and has a nice collection as well and flies a P38 Lightning and a Zero every few months
If you ever go to Florida, USA, you should check out the National Naval Aviation Museum. I remember it being mainly American planes. You can climb in some cockpits. Great fun.
Brilliant video jingles I can't wait for more and I absolutely love visiting at museums, sixties is absolutely amazing the B-17 there is breathtaking
Thank you for doing this. It was mighty enjoyable and I can't wait for Duxford. Be sure to get plenty of footage of the Blackbird.
Cracking coverage of the museum. The Spitfire really is a beauty. Thanks for bringing attention to an under visited great little museum.
Jingles, your vids are really amazing and especially this one. I appreciate that you are trying to show people there are places like this museum, which needs our help and support. And btw, I highly recommend visiting Yorkshire Air museum. They have Halifax, Spit, Hurricane, BF 109G6! etc. (and a little surprise for you, hint - loooots of wood ;-) ) But the best thing - Its a WW II Halifax air base turned into museum! Keep up the great work Jingles, history should not be forgotten :)
Thanks for putting this online - I live in southampton and to be honest, I thought the place had closed down years ago! Will definitely be making time to go and visit this summer.
You should also try to have a wander round Tangmere museum as well - based at the Tangmere airfield, famous for being home base for one D. Bader. similar style to this with lots of planes, including the first UK plane through the sound barrier.
He is, he is going to Tankfest, that is why he bought the camera. Watch the last episode of Mingle with Jingles. He explains it all at the start. Hope that helps.
Seem's like a Cool place to keep those neat old planes. Looking forward to the other places you see!
Please go to RAF museum London, It has a Sunderland which you can go through so you can compare the two. They also have the ONLY remaining Bolton Paul Defiant. Also, you can't do a tour of a few aviation museums without going to Duxford. I look forward to seeing more of this series.
Definitely worthy of doing narration/presenting documentaries on the BBC or something, oh we love you Jingles.
Jingles! you should go to the Imperial War Museum - Duxford! although it may be a fair way away for you, they have spitfires flying there most days, because they own about 12 or so, it's one of the largest aircraft museums in England, and definitely my favourite, you'd love it!
Fancy a trip to RAF Cosford Jingles? Not only has it got an awesome museum (featuring the TSR-2 no less) but the last B-17 is also flying this years display.
The Fleet Air Arm Museum is located 7 miles (11 km) north of Yeovil, and 40 miles (64 km) south of Bristol.
The sole surviving Westland Wyvern TF.1. Will see if we get it in war thunder.
A little tip if you are considering going outside of the UK for an experience, there is a club about 7 miles from where I live that has an operational old swedish airforce DeHavilland vampire. They offer an oppurtunity to come along for a flight in it, for a price(think it's around 1200 GBP, worth every penny) the flight lasts about 20 min but like I said, worth it(IMO). Hope this didn't sound too much like a commercial, if you want to know more, send me a PM and I'll translate their site.
Thanks a lot Jingles and Eddy for the tour of the museum ! Very interesting !
Jingles, if you ever can make it to California in May, we have one of the best air shows in the nation. All sorts of pre-war, World War 2, and Korean War planes flying.
Some times they fly Spits, they have a Hurricane they fly, they have a Fairey Firefly, a Hawker Seafury. Then all sorts of American planes of course. They have the only original zero left in the world that flies.
They have a Mig-15, an F-86, and two T-33 trainers. Makes for a helluva' Korean Air War show.
It would have been sweet to get in on this tour with jingles and his giant friend. Great video jingles!
I love the look of those early jets!
That was very cool. I am an aviation history buff and cool seeing museums in places I'll never get to visit. If you come to the US again you got to go to the Smithsonian Air and Space museum.
I went there in March and I agree entirely. It's Phenomenal!
Sounds like the Evergreen Air Museum with the Spruce goose that we have here in Oregon, The plane was so big that they had to shorten the wingspan to get it into the museum.
I know the pedal powered plane isn't the Gossamer Albatross, but in 1979 Bryan Allen did fly a pedal powered clear plastic plane across the english channel. There is a fun video on UA-cam about it named "Gossamer Albatross short"
You could be my awesome uncle Jingles. Im glad we actually have a face with that nice voice we hear on UA-cam! Thanks!
Cheers buddy
Great video, Jingles. I hope that many contribute to the museum, so that it can server as a final restingplace for those lovelly aircrafts, aswell as a place for us "mortals" to see. Best wishes from a Norwegian fellow War Thunder / WoT player.
Great video with lots of interesting stuff. As an added bonus, the shaky handcam and Eddie's heavy breathing inside the Short Sandringham gave me the creeps, just waiting for the zombies to attack ;D
This reminded me of the couple of times I went down to Wright Patterson AFB back in the early 2000's, thanks for the vid Jingles!
Jingles, you should get yourself to the Yorkshire air museum! They've got a DC3 you can have a sit in and they've got themselves a Halifax. A lot more jet aircraft there though, like the Avro Vulcan and a Gloster Meteor.
McMinnville in Portland Oregon I've been there and been in the spruce goose it was absolutely amazing and huge could not believe how big it was when I got close to it!!!!
With no hint of a doubt, you (for me) are the best youtuber yet, you never seize to entertain, I watch all your videos and I love all of them :) And now you are also doing interesting documentaries it makes it all the more watch able. You can see the signs of a brilliant "youtuber" when you take a subject, and not only entertain the people interested in that subject but also introduce new people into it. I suspect among all the comments and your 70K+ subs won't see this, i hope you do! :)
The guy is trying his best, they are old. You should be thanking Eddie for coming along to film it. I am glad to finally see Jingles.
I recommend seeing a museum in the United States called the evergreen air museum. They got a b-17 and the spice goose. Spruce goose is the biggest plane made and has 8 engines. You can get in both the b 17 and spruce goose. They also got a c-47 and a p 51
Next time you're in the U.S., head over to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. They have the iconic aircraft of WWII. Your Supermarine Spitfire, the Japanese A6M5 Zero, P-51D Mustang, Bf.109G-6, Fw 190 F. You'd have a field day in that hangar.
Awesome vid, Jingles! With great voice, plus honest curiosity and passion about the subject, you should be a host of a tv show on Discovery or BBC.
Thank you for taking me along on this trip to a museum that I would never have seen otherwise!
Great to see in real life instead of listening to your lovely voice over some gameplay. More of this will be absolutely great! Keep it up Jingles!!!
jingles pleas more of these types of vids i live in Australia and don't get the opportunity to see Museum that much and i love learning things so pleas do more :)
Fantastic place Paul. I lived near Ocean Village, so I know this place very well. However my favourite place is Bovington near Wool, Dorset. I went to Tank Day way back in the 1990's and that was cool.
Keep up the good work!
Jingles it is a very nice museum but in the evergreen air museum we got the spruce goose which you can get into. A b-17 that you also can clime into and a bunch of other stuff.
Thanks for pointing out this museum. If I ever get over to Britain from the states, I'll make sure to pay it a visit. :)
Jingles this is one of your best vids EVER, I have always wanted to go to the Imperial War Museum and now I can see it on one of your upcoming vids.
Keep up the great work :)
Jingles, went to the Hill Aerospace Museum in Utah, your video just makes me want to go back there and never leave
Those old fighter aircraft have so much more personality then modern fighters do. Thanks for letting an American like me see a museum I will probably will never get to visit.
Oooooooo gosh that mk 24 spitfire was gorgeous. After all the years of trying to perfect the spitfire, they pretty much did it with the mk 24
I've heard that the later models of the Spitfire were not as fun to fly at say the Mark IV or V Spitfire because they are heavier, but I agree, they are beautiful airplanes!
His voice and laugh is like a Symphony for me .
Would you ever consider visiting the Oshkosh Airshow in Oshkosh Wisconsin? It's pretty much the biggest airshow in the world. I went when I was a kid and saw everything from WW1 all the way to modern stealth aircraft. Amazing show.
How could you not tell by his voice and mature way he speaks that he's not older?
I highly recommend the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. Been there twice and still wanna keep going. Kind of a trip from way down in Texas, though haha.
Now that I think of it, there's a virtual tour online. Definitely worth a few minutes to check out.
Jingles! You sir, need a Hawaii'n vacation! Come check out the Pacific Aviation Museum at Ford Island Pearl Harbor. Of course you have to visit the Arizona Memorial as well. A very somber experience but one you will never forget. We also have the Mighty 'Mo'. USS Missouri (BB-63) where the Imperial Japanese forces signed the formal surrender, 2 September 1945.
I got in the cockpit of that Short Sandringham when I went there a few weeks ago. Apparently that thing was a sky porcupine or hedgehog because of all the guns that it had.
The interest of this won't die out. I'm only 15 and I'm really interested in all branches of military history and modern military.
It will probably decrease but it will certainly not die out.
I am not 100% if it is the same plane, but I believe that the bicycle-powered plane was the plane they made in the documentary "Flight of the Concord" if any of you are interested in it's history.
thank you for showing us all those beautifull planes Mr. Jingles!:)
Hey Jingles - Have you considered visiting the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville Oregon USA? It's a long flight from where you are, but you could see the Hughes H-4 Hercules "Spruce Goose".
You clearly haven't seen the Spruce Goose at the Evergreen Aviation museum down in McMinnville, Oregon x3 now that's a massive aircraft.
