- Listen to the incredible sound of the Avro Lancaster with it's four Merlin engines as it starts up, takes off and lands at RAF Coningsby, home of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Also featured is a Supermarine Spitfire.
The planes of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight have been preserved since World War II. The Lancaster, known as 'Leader' and registered as PA474, was built just after victory had been declared in Europe in 1945 and never actually saw action before deployment. The Spitfire, AB910, on the other-hand saw multiple battles and shot down a Dornier Do 217 in 1942.
The planes are intended to pay tribute to the fallen and preserve the history of the conflict for future generations to learn from. They belong to the Royal Air Force. Read more: www.raf.mod.uk/display-teams/...

That fact this big old bird is still flying is a testament
to the skill, dedication and love of the crew that cherish her!
Absolutely. The Lancaster remains in service with the Royal Air Force's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and therefore has a home and a lot of love at an active and very busy RAF base.
My Uncle Billy from Oregon flew these for the RAF at the age of 19/20 yrs. He was one nice man and a big influence on me growing up. He passed away at age 71 after retiring to Mexico. Miss you Billy, you were a real man.
I live in London and I thank your uncle Billy for helping the RAF in there hour of need. We will help the USA in all they do. Peace to one and all.
There is not sound like four RR Merlin engines. It is the sound of British pride. Not many alive today will have experienced the sound of 20 Lancs taking off one after another, but those that did must have been awestruck. And to think many of the crews were in thier early 20's. Love and respect to them all. 🙏
CHEERS 1
Man,, that would of been a concert !!!! 🤘😎👍
My dad would be 96 now sadly passed away a couple of years ago said one off the best moments he ever had was in 1944 in Lincoln when he saw all these Lancasters taking off from all the Lincolnshire air bases and meeting up with each other on there way to Germany he said the sky was full off them that moment stayed with him for ever he joined the Raf himself in 1945 just short off the war ending rip dad
as a Dutchman it's not so common to see one of these legends in person... let alone see it fly. i've had the privilege to see this beauty in flight 9 times so far and it never gets old. chill and goosebumps everytime those 4 Merlins thunder overhead. amazing!
My uncle was a pilot who went down in a Lancaster above France in the summer of 1944. He was 21. The other crew members bailed out and returned to England in various ways. I remember seeing him once when I was 3. I'm 83 now. How sad.
My condolences to you and your family. Such a young age, too, 21. So much life ahead of him. Thank you for sharing your story.
Something about the Lancaster and spitfire that gives me goosebumps,love those planes.
I have the Lanc and Spitfire tattoo's on me. Going to see the Canadian Lanc fly this June. Fr Hamilton to Goderich. Cheers from Canada.
My Dad (RIP) served in the RAF during the 2nd world war and copiloted a Lanc on many bombing missions.
He told many stories of seeing the gunners blown apart and landing on less than 3 gear
Heroic young men back then …
harry the Lancaster did NOT have a co pilot !!!! !
they did have cross-training though and Harry's Dad was likely cross-trained as a pilot :D @@wilburfinnigan2142
Flight engineer dose he mean?
Be very proud of him. I'm so proud of all those who protected us in WW2 on land, sea & air. They all are true heroes.
Can you imagine the kids today who are going around stabbing innocent people having to do the jobs that these pilots and air crew had to do to protect our freedom!!!
My Uncle was on the front lines in WW2, my Dad, who is about 13 years younger and a big plane freak, wanted to go the a Lancaster a couple years ago when there was one in towm, so he asked his brother if he wanted to go with him, he said "No, I saw enough Lancasters in the war and I really don't want to see one again." Fair statement from a veteran, personally, though I was in awe of this beast.
I can understand that! Some veterans get nostalgic, others don't want anything to do with them, and I can see why. Not a nice time! At least future generations can learn from seeing these old machines. I certainly find them awe-inspiring.
dad flew them 32 missions 43 - 45, flt engineer. Thanks dad thanks mr Chadwick. Viva peace.
We have a Lanc here in Ontario and you just know the sound when it flies over. Beautiful
I live down the street from the War Plane Museum, and have the pleasure of hearing VR-A rumble overhead frequently.
My Brother was at RAF Coningsby maintaining City Of Lincoln.till he retired, he now works at East Kirby getting NX611 Just Jane into airworthy condition it's a 10 year renovation job.
Whoever is responsible for maintaining these , my hat goes off to them . Its just amazing that it still flies.
Routine maintenance is done in house, major jobs are farmed out to companies like ARCo
I was wondering if its reconditioned
Seeing these beauties still flying is a testament to all those Bomber Command pilots and aircrews that did not return, leaving do many children fatherless, my brother-in-law had lost his Dad in a raid in 1943.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight serves as an extremely important tribute to those many we lost and educates many younger generations about what happened, and the importance of it all. I am so sorry for your brother-in-law!
The greatest plane the British ever made. A majestic aircraft.
You don't realize how big this this is until you see it up close I saw one at the war memorial in Canberra its big ! my father (RIP) was a tail gunner thanks for your service lads !
Spitfire and Lancaster birds. Beautiful.
There is nothing that beats that lovely sound awesome sound and plane 👍👍
all engines will be the swish sounding merlin ones
the next one in the family
took noise to a completely different level
oh that Vulcan
HOOOWLLL 🤩🥰🤗❤
Bonjour 🐕 ,j'ai 79ans et nous vivons dans un petit appartement à Bagnolet 93 .je suis née sous les bombardements Américains, dans la cave .nous étions entre la gare de triage de Noisy le sec et le triage de Vers s Marne. Heureusement que les Américains visait mal ,si non je serai morte dans la cavé. Merci les Américains.
@michel9999 I am glad you are here to tell us the story.
Lucky enough to have seen this remaining Lancaster fly in person...Amazing Aircraft...
It's hard to explain just how incredible it is in person. Definitely something I'd recommend to anyone if given the chance.
We had those in Argentina. Wonderful planes. I love the sound of its engines.
My mum worked at Avro, Yeadon building the Lancaster. She would rivet the outer skins on to the fuselage. Her partner, Nelly was on the inside of the plane holding a 'dolly' and checking that the rivet had gone in properly and if it was wrong she would knock it back out. They worked high up on scaffolding. Mum said it was the best job she ever had and the money was good. The hangers where they were built had a flat roof which was painted green to look like a field from the air and they made paper mache cows and moved them around every so often in case the Germans flew over.
Now thats a powerful sound in so many ways 🇬🇧
cant beat the mighty sound of merlin engines tbf
Scared the Nazis
@harryt988 this plane is my favourite ww2 bomber ever made absolutely beautiful and absolutely terrorising to Germany
I lived on the South Coast and seeing Spitfires, Hurricanes, was almost common there.
One afternoon there was a similar sound but much bigger. I rushed into the garden and in the sky were two Lancasters!
I remember thinking 'Take this in. You will never see it again'.
I had the one in Hamilton, Canada fly over me once. I couldn’t believe how loud it was. An incredible thing to see and hear and FEEL
Isn't she a beauty, the growling of power from those engines too, for those of us who have been close to one to see a take off and landing that we will never forget. My family and I saw one at Southampton many years ago, fantastic.
Really amazing. I can't imagine what it takes to keep this big aircraft airworthy.
I am very lucky that I live in the Lincolnshire area and see are city of Lincoln she is a very beautiful aircraft l have been in just Jane for a taxy run and boy does the sound of those Merlin engines sound amazing can’t wait to see just Jane take to the skies and meet up with city of Lincoln 😊
these engines have the most beautiful sound in the world
That’s what this country stands for
the only sound that beats this is 2 lancasters flying together I was lucky enough to be able to see the canadian lancaster fly alongside this one about 10 years ago at Duxford. A sound I shall never forget. Another unforgetable experience was walking underneath the bomb bay of this old legend.
Ditto. I've also been able to get inside Nx611 for a tour. Absolutely my dream come true.
Please add a capital C to Canadian in your sentence. Canadian Lancaster? Remember we are thinking about the fallen soldiers.
Amazing design, it's great to see that piece of WW2, that airplane was such an important part of the war.
One of the most beautiful engine sounds in aviation.
1920s: piston engine
1950s: radial engine
1980s: turboprop engine
21st century: jet engine and E-jet engine
They call the Boeing 747 the Queen of the Skies, but I reckon before the 747 was even an idea, the Lancaster would possibly have had that famous nickname.
cpr NOPE !!!!
There is a Lancaster bomber 24 km up the road from me with all engines operating. I have touched it and seen all its engines working
Nothing so evocative as four Merlins going flat chat!. Bril job to the teams keeping this iconic aircraft flying keeping the memories of those who flew them alive. Lest we forget. Nuff said.
There is something romantic about the sound of those piston engines lifting the aircraft into the sky. A lot more appealing than the sound of jet engines. 😍
I absolutely love the sound of such a beautiful vintage propeller plane. I am rather sad they had become so rare.
God, imagine a sky full of a THOUSAND of those. terrifying.
There are only 2 of these still flying and I have been inside the one in Hamilton, Ontario.I paid $5 to climb inside, the money goes to keeping it in shape,and it was amazing. I can't imagine being in one during combat.These men were brave and heroes to go through what they did.Lancasters are just beautiful airplanes even though they were built for an awful purpose.
Saving the world from Nazi fascism is a horrible purpose?
An AR unit code? That's got to be 460 Royal Australian Air Force markings. Their home was Binbrook. The Aussies flew and died from there. Bless 'em all.
My Grandfather was an engineer on the Lank He flew all but one mission when part of his heel was shot off by AA. His crew left wit out him and didn't make it back. He re upped and did another tour.He came back home.
had the chance to hear this beautiful bird fly at bray, amazing sound, like angels on earth
what a beuty ! i probably saw that magnificent beast over golcar huddersfield once and its why im into aviation a tad now and im planning to get a model to be pride of place in the aviation fleet among the avro vulcan
Quel Bel avion.... savoir que le monde doit sa libération à des milliers de ces avions, respect.
Saw this beauty fly over Swansea bay today. Awesome plane.
Years ago I wanted to write to Jim”ll Fix It to experience a flight in a Lancaster Bomber but unfortunately it never materialised. I can only dream 😢
Now that is a proper aeroplane - great capture and upload!!
hi, what a wonderful plane, Guy Gibson would be so proud of this so would the dog.i am sure he is looking down,well done to the maintenance team,
My grandad flew them in the war brings tears in my eyes so proud of him and flying while being shot at
It's amazing how slowly the propellers go round.
This is history. God bless you always. God bless. All. The people in world. War. 2. Thanksyou so much so this plane. In Blackpool. Some years ago loved it lovely 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️✈️😍
I saw a flying Lancaster bomber really up close today it was so fun
Got to see the Lancaster fly yesterday. Looked and sounded amazing
Fabulous! The most beautiful planes ever. And what a sound!
Aw and then she gets tucked away again. What an amazing aircraft.
Wonderful. Flew over my house in Stockport yesterday.
The Lancaster Flew Over My House Around 10 Year Ago On Route To The Sunderland Air Show - However I missed The Photo Opportunity #GUTTED.
A Lancaster flies over my house most weekends from May to October. You hear the four Merlins long before you see the majestic airplane. Love to get a ride in it but I understand there are no places left this summer.
This was and still is the Queen of the sky ✈️
I remember 7 years ago when I was at East kirkby when just Jane started up all her Merlin engines what a great sound it was.
Beautiful!!!
my grandfather was a pilot in the Korean and WW2 war, he worked with lots of brave men, also he probably saw lots of bomber in his missions
Just AWESOME
Rolls Roys MerlinPower.
what a beautiful aircraft after 80 years of flying.
It really is. And they look after it!
Buitifull amazing ❤❤❤
Great vid, This plane played a MASSIVE part in saving England from nasty A H and mob,Respect to all who had to do the nasty job,Im real glad they got a decent shed to keep it dry and warm,you wont get a shed like that in B and Q,they only sell rubbish sheds,my mate got one i did tell him...he is cloth ears.
you can never beat the great sound of the 4 marine engines
The four engines of the Lancaster is a great sound. Iconic really.
I would love to go for a ride in that lovely sounding old beast.xx
Oh, can you imagine? The sound and the sights. Quite cramped inside!
Flew over Blackpool
Has been busy in the North West!
I'm from Newark upon Trent
so.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a beautiful piece of music
Frieden und Glückseligkeit für alle 'Völker
Fantastic 👌🏼
Saw it in the same land
Wow! ❤🇬🇧
I have always loved the Spitfire and the Lancaster!!
Both amazing and beautiful machines that have endured the many years since WW2!!
I almost forgot how huge the Avro Lancaster is!!
I try to imagine seeing hundreds of them up in the sky heading out towards a bombing mission and trying to think what those brave and courageous young men were thinking about...
I know that the RAF bombed strictly at night...because of the huge losses from daylight bombing..
But I also know that nighttime bombing wasn't as good as daylight...
Both times were tough and losses were high and in my opinion unacceptable..
I know that the Allies had to win the Air War.. it was something that had to be done!
But I always stop and think about what those young men who died during the bombing raids...daylight or nighttime would have done with their lives? What would they have came up with to help humanity or the world??
Sadly we will never ever know!!!
The unforgettable sound of our
Freedom.
thankyou
5:32 cranck up your headphones
Them Merlins...YEAAAH
I was standing in my house in the garden, the house was on a hill, I heared one loud noise, then I saw a Bomber, you can't believe, so slowly and so loud. My father said, there were not one, there were 30 Bomber in the war. You can't believe, awful world and death.
Great video of the Lancaster. Can you change your frame rate? The props look like they are either not turning, or they are herky jerky. You should only be able to see the yellow blade tips as circles when they turn.
See the 'Roo below the cockpit. Good stuff.
Chocks away you beauty
Avro Lancaster ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Black Beauty Queen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤RAF Bombercommand.
Poetry in motion..
Great machine....
Thanks!
This is really appreciated, thank you so much. 😊
Yes those Merlins are music,second only to a Handel oratorio.
yeah! incredible sound of a bird at 8:04...
Oh my, can you imagine flying to Germany on one of these death traps?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Imagine how brVWE THE PEOPLE WERE TO FKLY IN THOSE AIRCRAFT DUING COMBT?
Goosebumps, yes. But it is a shame about the wind noise in your microphone.
It is, isn't it? Afterwards I used a wind cover for the microphone, unfortunately it seemed to muffle it.

jai vue cest avions venant de louest est se dirigé ver l est en 194 est1945 pour bombardé l allemagne passé au dessue des vosges des souvenirs de mes 10 ans
Is it real? Or... Cgi?
(I have asked this question without even starting the video😅)
Please excuse my ignorance. Does the tail wheel on the Lanc. retract?
No, it does not.
Thank you. Seems a bit of a design flaw - must increase the drag significantly?@@tim2015
@ardell9267 I think the drag would not be great - certainly much less than the other two wheels and their legs. Other reasons? The size and weight of a retracting mechanism, which in this aircraft would probably occupy some of the tail gun turret's space. Materials: the mechanism and it's control cables, etc would use materials, workshop equipment and skilled craftsmen's time which were needed to produce essential parts for aircraft, army vehicles, naval vessels, also weapons and munitions. I learned a little from my Dad, who was ground crew in a Lancaster squadron, and a brother who is a retired avionics designer.
Yes that all makes perfect sense, thanks.@@tim2015
What is the story behind the bagpipe playing Kangaroo ?
I did a search of Google and came up with this article. It's a story if you're interested: www.aerialcombat.co.uk/2017/07/the-search-for-the-lancaster-bagpipes-kangaroo-artist.html
It appears to relate to an older aircraft whereby the Kangaroo playing Bagpipes represented a crew member of Australian, Welsh & Scottish origin.
@@CobraEmergency thank you, appreciate the reply 👍 love how
They used to do this sort of thing, gets frowned upon nowadays.
The peeps in Western Germany must have loved that sound, too.^^
