Thank you AGAIN my friend for the FANTASTIC support you are contributing with. We are speachless and it is appreciated. There is a special package on its way to you by the way so look out for that. Greetings from us and be safe out there.
Fine Job Thank You .The costs over there are Unreal ..😁😁😁😁
Wow, ❤ thanks so much. That will really help HH and crew to go on more historical adventures and share with us.
We can only imagine the costs incurred doing these explorations with the cost of literally everything rising. Your very generous donations will definitely help defray some of these costs. You're the man Muttley. ❤
@@HaGirl10 Thank You Laura. I enjoy his videos and do what I can to help.
With the expertise of a aviation expert we dug the small remains of a very rare He 177 German bomber that was shot down by a Mosquito it crashed and burned on one of our fields in Essex UK, i believe some crew survived, we found 13mm bullets, perspex and I have a big lump of melted aluminium. Obviously the RAF had cleared up most of the wreck during the war, good work cheers
Thanks for watching.
I love that German Bomber I would love too know that there is one underwater somewhere that can be brought back from the depths , and one day be restored to fly conditions . I know I’m dreaming but it would be a dream of mine ..😊
@@stuartsharples9520there's a couple of Heinkel 111s lying in the Firth of Forth The first German craft to be brought down over UK
(9:08)Did anyone try to fire that up and see if it's still flight worthy? I scuba dove onto a sunken WW2 German submarine in 2021, but I couldn't get inside of it to fire up it's engines and power it back up to the surface. But I'm pretty sure it would've worked. It only had a few gaping holes in it's hull. (Lol)
My fellow Americans, perspex is a substitute for glass canopies on airplanes.
I think it is a predicessor to plexiglass.
I think the Americans began using it in January 1941 (for example, on the Curtiss P-40B). I think the British began using it in August 1940.
What you are looking at is part of the wing main spar. From 16:25 t0 16:43, you can see the wing ribs attached to it. The brass fittings at 16:42 are possibly part of the fuel system, as is the tube you see at 22:18. The number on the frame is possibly a part number or serial number. Well done on your research, outstanding find!
Thanks for watching.
That is the stbd wingroot and centresection floor that gear part is part of the cabin heating air intake heater mounted inside the stbd wing leading edge beside the fuselage
Bit of t-cut and she'll be a runner.
@@limecutterlex don't forget the Kroil, gotta use Kroil on everything lol
@@Peter.w Man knows his Lancaster's heavy bomber probably carried the biggest payload minus B 29. Beautiful plane Rolls Engines those Royce motors made all allied planes better faster altitude reliability.
Isn't it so unique the things you can discover through a by chance encounter. Such a stroke of luck getting to talk to the gentleman who witnessed the plane crashing all those years ago. Thank you guys!
Yes Bill , sometimes we feel that it is all about chance and luck and talking to the older gentleman made this even closer and interesting. Thanks. for your great support :)
Unfortunately it won't be there for long now 😢
You have THE most interesting history channel on CZcams! Your research is flawless! What an interesting story of the wreck and then going to the location and finding it! And then, talking to the locals who added context to the story! OUTSTANDING! Thank you so much for taking us along on these adventures! Stay safe and stay well!
We were very lucky on this one and the added talk to the older men was just superb Donald and that is why we do this and share this. Thank you AGAIN my friend for your very kind support.
@@WW2HistoryHunter That's why I LOVE to travel u meet Nice People..
That is so very very special and the gentleman who was 4 at the time who came and told his memories ... just amazing. Thankyou HH and EE !
Agree and so very glad for that. Thanks Stephen :)
What an epic find. Makes you wonder how much more is buried in the ground if a tractor couldn't pull it out. Thank you and EE for taking us to see this piece of history.
So true and if we are lucky we can share something totally amazing later from this area. Fingers crossed. Thanks Allen and greetings from us.
We could answer that with a GPR (ground penetrating radar) unit. Any volunteers?
@@RaoulThomas007 What does that Cost ??
I am thinking a helicopter but that would be exxxy; also a tractor/winch from a distance on hard ground with a long long chain or strap may work ???
@@jimshoe402 Because of the historical nature of this plane, you could probably find someone with a GPR unit that would donate their services for free.
So amazing to find even that piece still out in the open. A tribute to the Lancaster builder that so many parts have survived. Great history in the stories and your research. EE found the number, of course, living up to his name.
Yes ultra rare to find any of the bombers still out there just laying around. Thanks Stephanie :)
HH and EE, we owe you such a debt of gratitude! One day in the not too distant future, much of these fascinating historical things will be gone, rusted away or blown up or looted by souvenir hunters. Your hard work and obvious joy in doing it, are making a very serious contribution to the recording and preservation of information about significant human history! Thank you both, and BBG too, for all that you do. I’m very proud to be a member of the team and look forward to more interesting and exciting episodes! ❤️❤️❤️
We are honored to have you with us Scottie and we love to share with you :) Thanks for your great support :) Greetings from us.
Fascinating find! So glad you got to talk to them and find out about what that young man saw all those years ago
Was a very good experience and loved to share it with you James :)
Thank you HH and EE. Your hard work is much appreciated.
We appreciate that and thanks for being here with us Kurt :)
I love your enthusiasm and pure joy in finding this historic relic!!! So cool to hear somebody loving what they do and appreciating history!
Thank you for that and greetings from us.
Another amazing location HH. It’s a pity there is not more wreckage located there, as it would add to the story of this aircraft. We really appreciate the time and effort that you put into bringing these adventures to us. Stay safe, and cheers from Australia 🇦🇺!
Well there could be :) Time will tell. Thanks Gary :)
Another great adventure my friend! Getting to meet the locals and learning more just adds to it all on a very personal level. You and EE had an epic trip!
Yes that was a very special moment for us and so glad for that :) Thanks for being here.
Thank you for sharing that story. It's incredible what the pilots went thought during the war. And thank you and your son with all of these finds and story's you tell the world.
Appreciate your kind words and greetings from us.
A truly incredible find! And incredible work you put into finding all these things. Thanks again for your incredible work!
Great explore and thanks for watching.
What an amazing find, 80 years buried in the ground, with locals not even knowing. I am glad the crew came home to rest after the war. Thank you for sharing with us, and I do hope we get to hear more about this site. Stay safe and well my friends, and a very good spot by EE on that serial number
Yes EE do see things that most will just pass by and so glad for that. This is a very special part of history and we loved that and will share something pretty unique from this area in the future. Thank Barry and we hope you have a great day :)
Amazing work on the model planes. Can't get enough of my favourite, actually only WW2 history channel that I watch. You seem to always connect with someone that knows some personal history on some of those events. Thank you for sharing their stories. Its sad, that at some time in the future, historical events pertaining to this era may be forgotten. Thank you for keeping them alive as we learn from past history. Sad for the pilot and crew who died. They must not be forgotten. ❤ Thanks once again HH & EE.
This experience was so great and i just cant say how much i enjoyed talking to the elderly gentleman. Just so great. We thank you Laura and dont forget to smile :)
Part of the wing spar of the Lancaster from the looks of it. Being one of the most solid structural pieces of the aircraft, it is no surprise it survived the crash, and to see it still in place, almost 80 years later. Amazing. It has probably survived this long because, especially nowadays, hardly anyone knows it's there, and hopefully, it stays that way, so future HH's can re-discover this amazing piece of lost History. And well done to EE, for spotting that serial number. Living up to his nickname again, and again. Great stuff! Thank you both for sharing this remarkable find with us. Definitely one of THE most incredible pieces of History you have ever found. Cheers to you both! Stay well, stay safe, stay dry!
Seems to be that yes Peter. For us , this piece of history is a very interesting one and so glad it is there even today and hopefully it will be for a very long time. Thanks and more to come my friend :)
96 Lancasters where lost over Germany one night. A tragic loss in a time of utter Hell.
It's sad to think of the crew members lost on the aircraft but, what an amazing find, and for no one to really know about it being there is just wow! Thank you both for sharing this and as always " Good Hunting "
So true my friend and we loved to find and share that with you. Greetings from us :)
It's great that you do research so that you understand what you find, but your sense of awe makes it that much better.
Appreciated Bruce and thanks for being here .)
Why people would want to skip parts of your videos is beyond me, you create the best videos and explores going.......just like this one 👍🏻
Well the sad truth is that so many people just dont have the patience or will to actually watch anything longer then click and click and then to the next one. Sad but true. Thanks my friend.
History Hunter, Thanks to you and Eagle Eyes for the great videos you put on CZcams. You are my favorite youtuber.
All our pleasure and we are honored to have you here with us.
Thank you so much for this exploration! Its hard to believe that its still there and you had access to it. EE is just amazing! I would've never seen those numbers either. Hes a very special young man and I've loved seeing him grow up. This small piece of history would have been lost forever if not for you and EE. Thanks again for all of your research and hard work. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯
Eagle eyes is a great explorer and he say hello to you here on his way to school Julie :) Great explore and thanks for watching.
Awesome work guys! Thanks for all the content!
That is appreciated and we thank you for that :)
It is just awesome being able to see and touch something from WWll. Cause so much has been lost over the years. I've been collecting stuff for a long time and now my kids are doing the same.
It is a great way to connect with history yes. Thanks Kris.
What an interesting finding, HH! And to get a story from a bystander is fantastic!!! I love this!!!❤
Yes i agree Cynthia , what a great addition talking to a eyewitness. Thanks so much for your great support and be safe out there.
Just again how much your attention and information gathering put into finding these locations. I watched with interest again with my son and it is just respectful how you bring it
How great to read my friend and say hello to your son from us. Thanks so much and greetings from us.
Great video! Relaying the eyewitness account of the bomber (and crew) last moments, coupled with panning your camera from the wreckage to the sky, made me visualize the entire scene as if I was there. You provided a voice for the wreckage after almost 80 years.
I bet there is a Merlin engine deep in the bog,.
Most of the Lancaster might be deeper down, needs a professional excavation of the site.
Thank you, great video.
i think there could be yes. Thanks.
Depending on angle if above 45deg they go in deep esp if that grounds boggy!. There is a ME110 still in the ground in Clacton Essex shot down in Battle for Britain on around first day when they attacked North Weald/Hornchurch/Areas north of Thames and it's sandy ground and they dug down something like 40ft and never found main remnants of it just bits so still down there.
Shallower angles they will often impact break up with some imbedding in ground depending on soft/hardness then parts will rebound and spread all over with predominantly a forward spray of parts
What an amazing find! Thank you for all your work, both of you.
We agree , such a great location and history there. Thanks.
Good job guys ! Love the wreck searching videos , EE is right in his element.
Indeed EE is doing so well and very proud of him :) Thanks Dave :)
Wowsers! Thank you HH and EE for showing us this. I live now not very far from on of the Commonwealth training bases where bomber crews were trained during the war. Very interesting to see how much of the Lancaster still remains. Am very excited for any follow episode you do with the newly acquired information.
Thank you for that my friend and thanks for sharing. We will return for a very special explore around there but it will be much later as we have so much to do first :) Greetings from us.
Another excellent adventure HH and EE! Lucky stroke running into the locals and learning more about the crash site! Looking forward to the next adventure!
Thanks for being here :)
Fantastic job of researching this and making the discovery. Quite rare to find someone alive who witnessed WW2 now, glad you got to spend some time with them.
RAF Waddington in the UK have a heritage centre where the parts of a recovered Lancaster bomber are displayed. The bomber flew from Waddington and crashed in Scotland.
We loved to share this and find this. Such a great little story. Thanks my friend :)
Finding a airplane, cool! Another great find, thanks again for all your efforts and travels.
Loving it and thanks George :)
That was very exciting...... thanks for all the amazing information.... good job.... ❤️
Appreciated and greetings from us.
So amazing, Lancaster my favourite plane seen the plane very close and in flight. Thank you for sharing.
They are icons from that time period and we love to share such with you :)
Thank you for yet another great video, You would be one of THE best, if not the best you tube channels I watch. Great work.
WOW that is so kind of you and we appreciate that. Greetings from us.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for taking us along!
Appreciated :)
Thank you❣️ What a great video! I hope this helps with future History hunting trips!
Your incredible support will keep us out there more for sure and we thank you for that. Be safe and keep smiling :)
Thank you for taking us with you and honoring history.
Appreciated and greetings from us :)
Awesome video, thanks for giving us a lens into the past!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome video and great job guys! Thank you!
Appreciated Bob :)
Thanks for this video… My great grandfather was rank LAC in the Second World War with 617sqdrn RAF, based out of RAF Scampton. I have a personal soft spot for the Lancaster and this period of history. I’m currently serving in the RAF and watching videos like these gives me a huge sense of gratitude not only for my grandfather but for the many men that flew and unfortunately lost their lives in the planes that he looked after. Great video
Be proud and we thank you for being here with us :)
Haven't watched in a while and huge back log of videos! Still 100% love them!!!
How great to see and thanks for that my friend.
Yet again another awesome video can’t wait for the next.
Appreciated and greetings from us.
Great work. Love you guys. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Appreciated Alan :)
Wow! What a find. Well done HH and Eagle Eyes😊 such nice touch taking the model to the wreck. Brilliant!
Appreciated Richard and greetings from us
Thankyou for another interesting and informative show about WW2 of which my dad was in the RAF
Appreciated and be proud of your dad. Thanks.
Thanks!
I loved this episode. Course anything with aircraft gets my full attention. That part is may belong to rudder section. Lower. As always stay safe and thank you both.
We loved that too my friend and even more glad we could share it with you. Such a great little story and thanks my friend for your great support :)
Love your enthusiasm and passion for the hunt - thanks for sharing
Appreciated my friend and greetings from us.
I always find your videos intriguing and wish I could be with you on a trip through history. Good luck with your history explorations.
My friend you are with us in spirit every time we go out and do this and share with you. Thanks for being here :)
Great video, great find. Really enjoying your videos. Catching up on older ones too. Love the history!
Appreciated and greetings from us.
Keep up the great work HH, EE, BBG! Will try to help out when I can. Friend from Pennsylvania USA
@@jameshein-jo8je We are honored to have you coming along my friend :)
What a great find and a amazing story two keep up the great work you two.
Thanks so much Jacob :=)
Completely amazing report. Thank you from the UK.
Appreciated and greetings from us.
Fantastic as always thanks for sharing very cool find 😎
All our pleasure my friend and so very glad you are here :)
What a find! Thanks for the video!
Very glad you liked it and thanks :)
The fact that the piece of wreckage shown was assembled 10 minutes down the road from me at Woodford Aerodrome is crazy, nice job on the video!
Col to know and thanks for being here :)
Eagle Eyes his name says it all. nice find on a piece to go with model plane and spotting numbers too. you two rock the casbah. can't wait for more!!!!!!!!
Thank you Enrico :)
Thank you my Brother from the U.S! Definitely love to come there and hunt! Thanks again for the Amazing videos and finds!
Appreciated and thank for being here.
Great video, very touching and well done.
God bless the brave crew who perished all those years ago. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will ALWAYS remember you and all of the other war heroes/victims.
Appreciate you watching and greetings from us.
@@WW2HistoryHunterMy pleasure and yes greetings to you too.
Thank you for showing us one of the most amazing things I will ever see a real part of history
All our pleasure. Thanks.
Many would say this is a piece of scrap metal. You are one of the few who seek out this kind of history and there are many of us who thank you for yours and Eagle Eyes hard work !
We think it is one of the greatest examples of surviving history in the open and so glad it is there and we could share it. Thanks John :)
Excellent find HH, of course only EE would find the assembly numbers. It is a surprise that it is still there. Kids using the aluminum for rocket fuel, the aluminum there has a high magnesium content. They would spend a lot of time grinding it into powder, but they were Germans who pioneered fuels. The initial fuel being kerosene and aluminum, powder, having worked with it, it is hot burning. Another great video my friend, this was an epic trip. Stay safe and well both of you.
Yes EE does it again and so proud of him. What a great little explore that was and we thank you for your great great support William :)
❤ Wow!!!
Your research definitely paid off on this adventure.
And meeting the elderly gentleman with his childhood memories of the aircraft and location.
Very special adventure and explore.
Thank you sharing.
Keep up the excellent work History Hunter team ❤
yes Casey that was a very special explore indeed and so glad e could share that with you.
always a pleasure for your educational vids.
Appreciated Roy :)
😮 looking at the wrecked parts of the Lancaster. Knowing that the crew didn't survive is 😢. My mother was living in New Jersey near Lakehurst in 1937. Her father drove them to see the wreckage of the German Air ship. She is 98 now living in assisted living. ❤✌️👍
Thank you for sharing Robert and history is out there and everywhere. Appreciate your great support and greetings from us.
I think 1980 DC-10 that crashed right after take off from Ohare (ORD) Chicago Il..I was 20 miles North much higher and the Fuel Plume was Huge. I figured it was the Huge Fuel Tank Farm 5 blocks away. Back then it was 2 days before we saw the film on TV at 6pm..🙄🙄🙄🙄
That is really cool. Great find. Whomever gets the model and the piece of plane is going to be very happy. Very nice!!
We hope so and it will be a great piece of history to be the future keeper of. Thanks.
The fact its sitting waterlogged land could mean there is more below the surface great find.
Any serial numbers off parts may give an identity to the aircraft and crew.
Keep up the good work 👏
Could be and thanks for watching.
Extraordinary discovery especially with the witness statement to support the wreckage. Good spotting EE, you are doing your nickname justice.
Indeed EE is so good at this , proud of him. Talking to the gentleman was just such a incredible moment for the story and for us. Glad we could share that with you :)
My uncles B17 was shot down in Germany, and doesn't show up on crash site maps. Going in for a crash landing and clipped a treeline. Several members died, several taken as POW's.
Another awesome video
Appreciated John :)
That's frickin awesome dad and son exploring history together
Yes that is such a privilege to be able to do. Thanks for being here with us.
Love the way kids can make toys out of anything
Yes i agree and thanks for watching.
Awesome video! Subscribed.
Thanks.
Thoroughly Enjoyed a job well done
So appreciated Garry :)
I actually think this is the main front spar of the plane but upside down. The part that is in the ground is actually the part that was in the plane behind the radio-operator. The four eyes on the top are actually the attachement points for the large clamps for the middle (large) bombs in the bomb bay. Thats a pretty unique part of the lancaster bomber. Love your videos! Keep it up!
Could be we dont know for sure. Thanks for comment and for watching.
Another very interesting video. History is all around. Sometimes people just need a nudge to look for it. We can always count on EE to find just one more thing. ... You learned something from the child witness, other people learned from you, and they will tell additional people. The ripple effect continues onward. ..... It's appreciated that people at the time gave the crew a respectful burial. ... Keep well.
yes it is how history works and i love it. Thanks Helen.
What a wonderful find! I love it!
Agree Mary what a great story. Thanks.
I enjoyed the narration of this great video. The passion!
Glad you enjoyed it!
How fascinating to find such a huge piece of the lancaster wreckage! Such an interesting story of the people living in the area. And the treat of EE finding pieces and spotting numbers. ❤
Agree Beverley , such a interesting story and we loved to see that. Thanks.
Another brilliant video! I'm just reading Paul Nichols Lancaster book (Lancaster: The Forging of a Very British Legend) regarding losses such as this, the crews that survived and crews such as this that did not. This brings this book regarding the war years back into the modern day - what a find! Thanks HH and EE!
Goo dot read and thanks for watching.
It was great to see an airplane. Does look like a wing piece. Take care and be safe out there. Thanks for the story too, that adds a lot to the discovery.
We agree Larry. That is such a special story and to talk to the gentlemen was so great. Thankd for your great support Larry :)
Well done 👏
Great video, the wings for Lancasters were built in on the industrial estate next to my primary school before transport to Woodford for assembly to the fuselage. They still have the air raid siren test it out, at playtime we got scared that ww3 had started!
How interesting and thanks for being here Simon :)
Thanks!
Wow my friend , that is so greatly appreciated and we thank you for that. Will come in very handy indeed. Thanks and be safe out there :)
Big $$$$ Thank You Sir !!! 😁😁😁😁
Thank you for the great video!! Is there any information on the crew that was onboard?
Absolutely brilliant work guys so fascinating ❤❤
Wow Marcia that is so kind of you. Thanks for that :)
Love the content good work
Thanks for that :)
Brilliant work guys i just subscribed 👍
Welcome aboard!
Amazing Video
Thanks my friend :)
Utterly fantastic from you and Eagle eyes.
Thanks Robbie :)
Well done guys..great job.....
Thank you 😀
How cool it must have been to meet that old man who remembered the crash. Heck, I would have to take him down to the local pub for a counter lunch and a couple of quiet ones. The stories he must have. So cool. Take care guys.
This gentleman was so humble and polite that it taught me and EE how easy it is to forget to be just that in every day life and very glad for that conversation we had and we learned so much.Gret explore and experience. Thanks for your great support.
As I am watching this a number of WW2 planes are flying around, they are visiting a local Commemorative Air Force base about 5 miles away. Ive seen a Dakota, the DC 3 that was used for paratroop drops, and it's painted in Invasion stripes! This is a very fun and exciting video!
How interesting and so glad you got to see them Cliff. Thanks for sharing with us and for your great support :)
Goldsboro?
Only you and EE could put the amount of effort and dedication in tracking down and finding this part of a Lancaster bomber. Thank you for sharing this adventure my friends. Take care, be safe and stay healthy..
Indeed a great little discovery ands o glad we did that. Thanks Ted :)
Thanks again.
Appreciated Steven :)
great video
Thanks Rens.
Thank you !
