I fell in love with the Lancaster after building an Airfix one in the 70s as a kid. I was fortunate enough to take my dad on a taxi ride in Just Jane in 2010. We were lucky to have an ex pilot who flew them during the war as well. As we taxied around we were at 2,200rpm..everything was vibrating. The old RAF guy explained that take off power was 2,500rpm with an overboost of 2,800rpm available - I can't imagine what that was like as during wartime these aircraft would be loaded way beyond their peacetime limits. I'll always be in awe of those quiet heroes who flew these aircraft, until 1944 the RAF was the only way we had at hitting back at the Nazis and the fact that these men flew night after night when statistically the odds of them completing a tour of 30 ops were negative is beyond my comprehension. Lest we forget.
I had the privilege of a taxi run in this aircraft for my 60th birthday present from my wife, I will never forget it, god bless all aircrew who did it for real 🙏🏻
Myself an my Dad went for my 40th birthday in 2010. I had a taxi ride an my Dad got to come on-board afterwards. Was on board for well over an hour. Was an amazing an very humbling experience, the bravery an devotion to duty that those who served in Bomber Command showed is almost incomprehensible. Truly an amazing generation of people, I consider myself very blessed to have had Grandparents from said generation, they were people to truly respect an look up to an learn from. Thank you.
I visit Lancaster VRA at the Canadian Warbird Heritage Museum (Hamilton Ont) a couple of times a year. Its my way of supporting the project and saying thanks to those who flew it in earnest. I've seen it fly many times and it always gives me a chill. Lest We Forget.
I went there in 2018 , a fantastic place . Had a fantastic flight in the Lancaster 800 feet above Niagra falls two wonders of the World in one day ! What a trip
My dad joined up in June 1940, aged 18. RAF ground gunner, then gunnery instructor, then aircrew- rear gunner on Liberators, Coastal Command flying out of RAF Aldergrove, N Ireland. Used to say very little about it except that most of the time he was scared. He wouldn't fly after the war, said he used all his luck up then.
Went there for my 40th birthday. Absolutely fabulous place, went in the Lanc myself. Please go and support them there. Wonderful day out, lots and lots to see.
Had a ride in "Just Jane" for my fiftieth birthday in the cockpit behind the pilot , the short take of run felt absolutely exhilarating , a must do for any aviation enthusiast . My father in law was a Merlin engine mech & worked on the coastal command version carrying the ASR lifeboat .
Discovery.... how about helping the Hawker Typhoon Preservation Trust to get RB396 back in the air? A bit of publicity, or better still, Bruce and the boys finding some bits for them!
There was a flying Lancaster in Northern Scotland in a private aircraft museum owned by a man named "Lord Strathallen " . This place was just outside of the town of Pirthshire Scotland . I've been there and seen it . The Lanc was purchased from a Canadian oil prospecting company and flown over to the UK in about 1980 .

Saw Bruce shopping at Halesworth Co Op last year.... @ 02:40 they were Typhoons on QRA. There are no F-16s in the UK. For all that its great publicity for the brilliant people at East Kirby doing so much to restore the Lancaster. They also have a working Mosquito but sadly not to airworthy condition.
My grandad was a tail gunner in a Lancaster , on the way back from the mission they were set upon by me109’s he was shot up and had shrapnel in his leg, he absolutely loved the aircraft . Pity there aren’t more of them flying
It's television companies not doing their homework. There are worse cases on TV with German planes being shown in the footage as British or vice versa. I actually find it disrespectful to the men who where there be they British, American, German, Japanese or Russian. It's just laziness.
I saw just Jayne last year. What a privilege, she’s absolutely beautiful, I would recommend anyone if they have the chance, go and see her. She’s an awesome sight and it really does hit home what those brave airmen did in ww2. Must of been terrifying flying over Germany being shot at , it must of been pretty terrifying for the Germans aswell, seeing hundreds of Lancaster’s above them about to drop their bombs.
Check the schedule online. Their always moving it around. To show the garbage programs no one wants to see. The good ones always get moved to hours you can't watch them. Good luck.
I think just Jane was stud outside the Wellington bomber factory in Blackpool for years. If you want to see something awesome then the poppy fields in Lincolnshire will knock your socks off when they are in full bloom
FEBRUARY 2021 nice to see Bruce and Co helping Just Jane,, shame about the vintage footage, which shows two different bombers ie the Bliemham and the Halifax. I just wish the researchers would check the footage first it let's down the end product.
Lancaster was a flying coffin. Plenty of space for bombs but no space for ventral gun turret which would have saved 100's of crews lives. Also a very difficult aircraft to escape from.
Imagine being in a German town or possibly berlin and you hear a Lancaster above you and the sound of bombs dropping how would you react I would run away
You can book a VIP Day here which includes a taxiing trip on the Lanc. Most definitely put this on your Bucket List. A unique, once In a lifetime experience.
My uncle Pat was a Lancaster rear gunner, I can't imagine how he did that, staying in that small bubble for hours in one of the deadliest positions on the plane to be assigned Edit: uncle Pat is my mom's uncle but we all call him uncle Pat
I live in the area and often see BBMF flying over. So sorry to hear about the crash last weekend, my heart is with you all 😢. Love a day out at east kirby ,and watching Jane taxi is awesome, esp in the dark ❤. Bruce and his team are legends to 😂
An Avro Lancaster Mk1 of the 106 Sqn RAF crashed behind my house in a field on the 26th of July 1942 at 02:05 AM. The plane was shot down by an German Bf 109 from the Nachtjagdgeschwader 1 the Bf 109 had taken of from Leeuwarden air base to intercept the the Lancaster. Behind my house the Lancaster was hit by the BF 109 and exploded mid-air. Debris from the plane landed scattered around the fields behind my house and the remnants of the plane crashed into a black peat bog close to my house. Four out of the 7 crewman died, the other 3 who survived the crash got captured by the Germans but survived the war. Three of the 4 casualties are buried close to my house, the remnants of the 4th casualty were never found. Sergeant (Flt. Engr.) Joseph John Cooper, 778188, RAF, 21 year Sergeant (W.Op./Air Gnr.)

Ops ..Yanks flew missions. Bomber Command flew Operations. My father completed a tour of Ops with 90 sq. on Stirlings. He would always point that out to me. His brother was KIA when the 51 sq Halifax he was bomb aimer on was shot down on a raid to skoda iron works Pilsen.
The Lancaster shown had the replacement 2 .50 calibre machine guns in the rear turret which replaced the four .303 machine guns. The same modifications were also added to the Halifax's
I grew up in Windsor Canada we use to have a Lancaster that sat in Jackson Park as a memorial my father knew people that use to maintain it back in the day so i got to bugger around in it on occasion.I moved came back about 10 years later it was gone in its place was a Spit and Hurricane (not real) but apparently they're fixing her up to fly hopefully they do only been 20 years so far lol
@Harold Amiss as far as I know it is due to close, it was in the news regarding where would the red arrows go. I agree it does have Typhoon QRA based there but no F16's unless my information is seriously faulty!
There used to be one parked outside Perth airport Western Australia that you could climb inside for a small fee. Not sure what happened to that it disappeared in the 70’s.
The most recent series after Bruce's bad parachute landing. That's why he's lost weight and wears neoprene wrist supports. His trimmer waistline just shows how good hospital food is for overweight ex paras.

@hmalik Combat Dealers is on "Quest" in the UK. They don't seem to run in any particular order but the first ones after his accident are called "Combat Dealers Reloaded". They are just a rehash of previous shows with Bruce adding on screen links. Hope that helps.
@@fus149hammer5 Okay, thanks, which episode of Combat Dealers Reloaded is it? Is it the first episode? I can’t find somewhere to watch it online for free. Quest doesn’t have a website or an app.
@hmalik There isn't much about his accident in the series apart from some phone footage so if he's fat, bolshy and loud it's pre his bad landing. If he's slim, using a walking stick and less annoying it's post him headbutting the ground.
If I win the lottery Bruce will be getting a new customer, Although as part of the deal I'd like to spend a few days with the twins, I'd learn loads from them
If you what to know what is was like get the book THE BOYS OF WAR it tells the story of an air Lancaster crew from start to finish and how some of them survived after being shot down it's a true story.
There is 1 in Western Australia Bull creek avaition museam. That flew from Canada to Australia. Sad to think the British never saved much from the war for museum's. 6000 plus aircraft an 17 remain. Wtf did they do to them.
please create content about the KM ship accident. Tanto Bersinar vs TB. Mitra Jaya XIX vs TK. Makmur Abadi the accident occurred on January 23, 2021. Losing 5 crew members, OPSAR is currently being stopped due to weather problems. OPSAR is operation of safety
Yea it can carry more but good luck when ya get a fighter etc on ya gonna be hella hard to get him un like american bombers where they got loads of guns
It had one major flaw how the hell do you escape when it’s going down? They had few survival chances when in a plane dropping like a brick when at the front trying to get to the back! The young boys who left home that never came back, who gave the ultimate sacrifice their lives for our freedoms! That today’s society in just coming 80years soon, don’t give these people the respect they deserve. Do not forget it wasn’t long a go, that every nation in Europe was in flames!
@@alexcc8664 Problem was where the factorys were, there was the flak. That means the planes laying the Christmas trees, layed it like half a mile to early, because they didnt want to get right into the flak. Then the bombers dropped and yeah you can imagine. And Moral bombing was a tactic
@@Ko.Wi. there's was an interview with Sir Arthur Harris. He said factories were impossible to hit so when he took over he introduced Area bombing.

only 2 of the 17 still around are flyable, and I get to see it fly every week in the summer.
