- NAS - the Nanton Aviation Station presents Karl Kjarsgaard and the Halifax 57 Rescue Canada crew as they start up a rare Hercules engine at the Bomber Command Museum of Canada.
A NAS Nanton Aviation Station Project
Beautiful. I can only imagine what that would sound like at full torque and full RPM...... Thank you guys so much for keeping her running and sharing here. Very thankful for the freedom which all have fought for.
This seems like full power to me: czcams.com/video/pEbDlNeMtLM/video.html
they brought that engine to kamloops. it was so loud I couldnt hold the phone to record it. it was awesome.
Just imagine 160 of those powerhouses running at full throttle does anyone need a wake up call 😂 awesome video I would love to have one of those pictures
Well Said Sir .👏
These Bristol Hercules radial engine is probably the only successful sleeve valve engine in aviation history!
The Centaurus wasn't too bad...
Painted jugs on an air-cooled radial. That makes a lot of sense. Of course it's right on par with sleeve valves as far mechanical common sense goes.
Radial or inline they are music to me.
you are living in the past saw many shot down was 9 yo in berli in 45
Best thing about this video is when he’s talking about the sound of freedom, there’s a crow in the background calling b.s. Awesome engine though.
Hercules engines where put in some of there bombers and avro Shackleton plane as well and that plane was used for the raf and the royal Canadian air force units as well during the cold war submarine patrols
The sweet sound of success
Perfect presentation and a great engine....👍
I was there for this.
Beautiful engine the sound is music to my ears as a gearhead I like a lot of the old radial engines they have such a sound that is different from a flat 4 or flat six aircraft engines they are a work of air to look at too far me anyways.👍😀😮
Someone should tell Urkle to stop pretend shooting that thing and stay the hell away from the propeller before he becomes the last victim of that fine machine 😂
He is well behind the prop. He is using an infra red temp gun to check the cylinder head temps.......
God bless all those Canucks who stood by us 🇨🇦🇬🇧
Liked it all,I live in Ireland and was surprised to hear about the sunken bomber off the west coast,I wonder if was recovered or is the effort still continuing.
Nanton air museum?
Start-up at 6:20
get this man a mic or speaker.
The Lancasters used Merlin engines..
Mostly correct - B. Mk I and B. Mk III used Merlins, the B. Mk II used these Bristol Hercules radials and was mostly flown by Canadian crews. Although this engine is from a Handley-Page Halifax as the artwork shows.
Everyone loves big Bristols....
These engines had no valves, springs, pushrods and lifters. Sleeve valves were used. Flat head with no rockers
and hemi combustion chamber with 2 plugs, 2 exhaust, and 2 inlet pipes per cylinder.
larrylewislarry especially the soft ones with nipples..
Greta thurnburg doesnt lol
Are they putting a Halifax to airworthy condition?
Can't hurt em' at idle.
That was his last run. He was killed by a June bug that got sucked into the prop !
God save the king and god bless America with the us military forces working the the raf units as well
No reve ???
How much does it cost to buy one of these ??
? hi... why did you run it up to 350 on the head temp...
roger Johnson that is normal running temp
On these engines, there were extra cooling ( top hat ) baffles which directed air into the deep centres of the cylinder heads which are surrounded by a moving sleeve. It is desirable that the temps are kept within limits to avoid oil breakdown and possible damage to the head around which the sleeve slides, the sleeve cylinder itself, the cylinder in which it slides or the piston which moves within the sleeve. There are close-fitting baffles around the cylinders but no top hat baffles on this engine so cooling air is not being directed into the head. This engine is not flying in an aircraft and cooling is only from the shortened blades of the clubbed propellor. During WW2, these engines in some aircraft with full sized propellors were likely to overheat if kept running on the ground too long before flight in hot tropical or desert environments. Later builds of this engine type used tin plating on the piston shaped part of the heads which extend inside the sleeve cylinders to reduce the risk of "pick-up" or partial seizing in hostile conditions of the aluminium wearing surfaces onto the moving steel alloy sleeve cylinder walls.
VERY GOOD ENGINES , BRASIL OK.
hmmm....where is epa now?..all this smoke. we have to buy special chainsaws and weed trimmers..and boat engines.mbecause of the emissions. think about this.
I'm as much an environmentalist as anyone (although it sounds more like you just enjoy moaning about having to make small changes to your lifestyle for the sake of protecting the climate) but there are millions of people using power tools and driving boats; you can count the number of these engines on your fingers. I'm sure they have a worthwhile exemption.
Too much talk, not enough motor.

I bet that twinkle toe 🐓🍭 Trudeau cried and pissed himself when this started up and made Canada 0.000001 degrees warmer due to global warming
soooo loud wow just as loud as a jet engine.
Німці . Вони ж д ураки . Все зробили рЮські юпт.\
YerBRITshadnothingtodowithi tCANADAWonTHwAR. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸Ithink it was A combined effort. Including the bloody zrussians an don’t forget the polish.
and that prop is way too small. not the right prop for the plane the engine was in. do your homework better.
Have you not seen these trailer running shows before? Of course it's a cut-down prop, if you had a full length one it's entirely impractical and would blow the operator and half the crowd away. It's a show-piece not a representation of how it goes on the plane.
Idiot
It’s a test club. It’s only there to make enough wind to keep the engine cool.
boring .
Agreed.Far to much japping …
