- čas přidán 8. 04. 2020
- WW1 and WW2 History and aircraft are something Ian Baron truly loves. He also happens to be a talented builder and welder. So when he retired from being a millwright (someone who repairs equipment at a mill) he turned his attention to making incredible full size replica military vehicles. His incredible collection includes a 1916 Sopwith Camel (Snoopy's plane); a 1918 Fokker DR 1 (Red Baron's plane); a 1944 Spitfire MK IX; the Spitfire's rival, a 1944 Messerschmitt ME 109G in Adoph Galland's colors; a Sherman Tank; Willies Jeeps; a U-Boat in the pond; a Hawker Hurricane and the front end of a 1911 Pacific Type steam locomotive.

Maybe a P51 Mustang for his next war bird.
I have sat outside this house many times looking at the planes . did not know they are clones .
Ironic that you built the worlds only metal Mosquito.
Harry Irvine let me know if you want to sell any of these. richbuckley7@gmail.com
This guy is significantly cooler than I will ever be.
ww2Mollison: welcome to the club
You are not alone. Cooler than 98.7 percent of us. Including me.
I agree
Don't sell yourself short!!!!!!!
Search your soul and find that passion.
You are limitless from within.
Perhaps deep within, but no less.
Jesus loves you!
ww2Mollison same
It's people like this that make the world go round.
Actually that's the pull of the sun.
Excactly.
Im pretty sure its not
@@bastogne315 actually its not. The earth rotates itself on its own vertical point. Think of it as a rod going through the planet. The sun just makes it go around the sun in the solar system

"My dad's gone, and I miss him". If your dad or mum is still around, spend some time with them. Now.
Cool airplanes!
l recently lost my dad to cancer, he was my hero, l choked when he said he misses him
@@woodlanegardenequipmentrep9149 I'm sure he left his mark on you and lives on through you. I hope you have lovely memories of the man.
My dad hit the road when I was 10, but when my mom goes it will kill me for at least a year (metaphorically).
Tom Bloom : I do...see my 95 yo mum twice a day...
Great advice....life is not the same when they're gone somehow
Gazzaplayz ok
It's people like this gentleman that puts a smile on other people's faces. The full scale models are awesome, it's a great way to help promote history and it's all recycled material....who could complain about any of what he does.
Exactly
History? Eww
It's good how he builds the replicas. But the paint shemes are not very historic accurate. Would love to support him in this case :)
Happy to say that the Calgary Mosquito Society has been supporting Ian and his work for several years. When in Alberta, Ian stopped in to see our Hurricane under restoration and to take a number of measurements and photos of the project to aid in building his replica.
great to know. Thanks
Must admit I was wondering how Ian had managed to get them so correct in scale / size and width the aircraft he's built are second to none they look absolutely amazing many of us out here would love to have a spitfire Hurricane or Mosquito grace our gardens Ian has "all three lol All I can say is It must be great to have the space to accommodate that many such awe inspiring War bird facsimiles not to mention also having the skills to build them .. it must be even better to have a wife who doesn't give you a hard time for all the hours you spend on them and "then, go on to have them displayed on the lawn LOL
Ian any chance of a favour buddy ;) I'm currently getting ready to start working on a full sized replica/facsimile spitfire myself made from wood Aluminum and steel I've extended my work area and built a home made jig for the airframe framework set up but am stuck for engine bulkhead and airframe frame measurements .. any chance you might be able to help please? ;)
Brilliant!
Now next project has to be a dambuster Lancaster Bomber!
He will empty a lot of scrap yards with that one .
Oh yea.
B-29?
No a 262 would be nicer
Yeah Ian seems to have a thing for adolf Galland -That was his Jet plane ! Towards the end of tne war !
Beyond cool, this man is an artist.
credit to the Spitfire BUT P51 Mustang took the war to Europe with their excellent range. And saved thousands of bombers and their crews escorting them. In the early days Spitfires used 303 rifle rounds. But later changed to canon fire. Spitfires were only a defensive tool. Had no range.
@@butchyshoe Thank goodness for the Americans who arrived after the war was already won. It only took them four years to get involved (other than selling equipment to both sides)...Spitfires and Hurricanes did ok in the Battle of Britain - P51's weren't there.
@@Kootenayflier r ffr
I can't watch a video like this without getting bitter towards my dad. All the time in the world for his work in his work buddies but none for a son.
A retired friend of mine built a full scale Stuka and several props for the Omaka Airshow in Blenheim, New Zealand. The Stuka is still on display along with a full scale model Hawker Hurricane in the museum. The Stuka actually flew during a gale, because it was a replica no one actually thought about it’s aerodynamic shape and didn’t bother tethering it down. It was found the next day about half a kilometre away in a dried river bed
the coolest thing is this mans attitude. I was impressed with his work but it was a joy to just hear him talk.
The way he remembers his father is really sweet.
I would love, love, love, love LOOOOVE to see this gentleman build either a full-scale, B-17 Flying Fortress or a B-29 Super Fortress.
Absolutely amazing! Such a talented, but also such a modest person. A great tribute to his father, as well. I am speechless.
I met Ian yesterday and had a chance to walk around and see his works. I love how this man's mind works.
"You've got to have a reason to get up in the morning! "
The world is an infinitely better place for gentle eccentrics. Brilliant .
I know that your Dad is smiling down on you as a proud father would.
Yep, you've got to have a reason to get up in the morning. I'm spending my retirement building WW2 Aircraft in 1/32 scale. But this man is doing it in 1/1 scale!
Nice!!
Very Nice ... and connections to family for me as well. My grandfather retired from the RAF as a Wing Commandera few years after WW-II. He was in the RAF from its beginning, first as a mechanic & later a fighter pilot. My father served 2 years in the RAF immediately after the war as an aircraft mechanic, mostly on the Mosquito aircraft. My mother was a native Londoner & lived & worked in London throughout the war - she saw many Hurricanes fighting to protect the people on the ground. A great way to preserve history and memory.
Stunning work and that guy should be awarded something for pure endeavour and ingenuity
We need more kids to be involved in making things and learn a trade.This is perfect lawn art!
That's the perfect solution for western society decadence man
Build functional planes
Fantastic legacy to your dad and the fundamental skills he taught you to live this life. Great job!
For sure! Just shows the importance that an involved parent can have on their kids!
I could spend a lifetime helping this great guy, I miss my Dad to, toolmaker and taught me everything thank god, or I would be stuck, so he’s still with me, that’s for sure.
This guy is probably the nicest war geek
The irony is building a plane out of metal (the Mosquito), which in real life, was built out of plywood
Balsa-wood too it was a mIx of both that come from were I live right now B.C. Canada. a lot of people don’t know that the plane was built here in Canada.
Yes you are right, but let's face: It is or it isn't a good piece of art work?
@@paulolodicora4471 Oh, don't get me wrong. I think it's great.
@@RCcunuk Yes I know you do! Cheers from Brazil.
Paulo Lodicora yah it’s amazing how much time he put into it
Can't wait to see the 1:1 scale battleship or aircraft carrier he builds next.
And floating in a giant universe ground pool put together from old pools ! 👍👍😆😆
There is a company that builds replicas like this out of fiberglass . Great work!!!!!
This guy is awesome. .....his father is very proud of what he has became
The man's a genius absolutely brilliant would love to see them.
His dad will be proud.
This man, is a legend
Millwrights are phenomenal craftsmen.
He'll be a national Canadian hero if he makes a replica of an Avro CF-105 Arrow.
Very cool!
Bf-109E, I believe
Awesome to see people build and create things like this
It was in that moment, when he said:
- I bet you didn't know that the fender of a Ford A is queen sized.
That I decided to donate my children to him as labor force for his models ...
Lol
The guy would be the coolest uncle of all time.
These cannons were the legs off my mum's coffee table! What a wonderful man and artist! Love it!
I would've wanted this guy to make my playground when I was a kid.
Question: "So what's your favorite scale for airplane models?" - Answer: "1/1 scale." Very cool!
I think I found one of my favorite new channels thanks for posting these are some very inspirational people that everybody should know more about what they have created in their life
Thank you! And thanks for your kind words!!
Everybody can be creative, but nobody tends to actually do it. This guy did exactly that!
they are very cool, i happen to live close by and drive by often just to see what is new. i am a ww11 warbird buff and almost drove off the road the first time i saw them. keep up the good work
I'm a pilot/engineer and I love this guy. Way to go!
This man is my spirit animal.
The tank would make a cool 'man shed' or alternative to a caravan if space were made inside for a little cooler fridge for a few beers, a small TV set to watch your favourite programs or sports, a few good books, maybe even a small fold out camp bed, a really cool place to get some domestic peace and quiet! Kudos for the amazing reuse of materials and machines!
What a legend, well done and i hope you get thousands of people coming through to see your talent and inspire them.
One of the coolest most awesome thing I've ever seen.
You say you dont have a favorite, but...you have a Spitfire T shirt....you rock.
This guy can saves the world in both ways
Creating weapons from recycle stuff
This is one of the coolest man aver So joyful and happy I would to visit him and see his airplanes colección.
This gentleman and his creations are an inspiration!
So i was amazed at the planes Being a WW2 History buff myself And a Grandfather that served in the Canadian Army in a 155mm Open tank overseas
This man has the set up as a B&B in Ontario The website shows Nice clean rooms And a good price for a B&B. And his Wife cooks fresh local produce foods with a Canadian country flare Even grows alot of their own fruit and veg Would be a perfect spot to have peace and quiet Take in the airpcraft And have a 1 to 1 chat with the maker While supporting his craft ...For sure a stop over for me on to the Montreal drive
4:45 that pain 😥
Yup, you could feel it.
I empathized immediately. Miss my dad every day, know the feeling. Nice tribute to the greatest generation and his father in particular.
Oh yeah. My Dad has been gone for 3 years now and I miss him everyday. Made it to 90 and lived a good, clean, hardworking enjoyable life. He actually trained to fly fighters in WWII
I guess one never really gets over it.
I have kids, and a good relationship with them, at least most of the time ;) It saddens me to think they will look back someday and feel this way, so I tell them: when I'm gone, don't look to the past and be sad I'm not there anymore, look inside your hearts and know I'll always be with you guys. Not only does this help, I think, but It's also probably true... I hope he looks inside himself someday and finds his dad smiling at his models.
Now that's a hobby....lol. Very cool planes and such a talented craftsman.
A millwright is a high-precision craftsman or skilled tradesman who installs, dismantles, maintains, repairs, reassembles, and moves machinery in factories, power plants, and construction sites. It's been a long time since millwrights were only employed in mills.
This guy has a hobby and I respect it. Great Job Dude!
"fastest plane of world war 2"
Hitler: "Hold mein Bier" comes up with Me 163
Babula Piderazi yea when he said that I was like “oooohhhh boy”
When he said that I thought no, that's not quite correct, although the mosquito was the fastest plane in the world when it first entered service. But not the whole of WW2.
@@tempusfugit9796 In terms of piston fighter engines, its record got broken in autumn 1943 by the Dornier 335 Pfeil
der Ameisenbär, ja (ant-eater bear)
@@chaowingchinghongfingshong3109 and then Ta-152
This is officially on my bucket list.
This guy is bringing model making to the next level. Airfix should hire him to design life size kits. XD
No collection would be complete without a p-51 mustang , this guy is so cool and his creations are a pure aircraft lovers dream . I am speechless !!
Nice to have the land, time & money $$$ for this Cool hobby !!! : )
Irony: The Mosquito was famous for being constructed of plywood. His full size replica is built from sheet metal instead.
True. Hence its parts were in fact manufactured by furniture companies and pianobuilders.
The Hurricane had fabric covered hull, just like the World War 1 era fighters were made from wood and fabric.
@@AudieHolland I don't think the 'fabric covered' statement is entirely true. The outer skin of both the fuselage and the main wings was a very light weight plywood designed for that specific use. Perhaps the control surfaces were fabric covered. as they were on the nearly all medal B-24. My father was a pilot in a Eight Air Force ill fated B-24 bomber group. They were stationed on an air field with a group of Mosquito bombers. When my fathers bomber group was disbanded, he was offered a chance to fly Mosquitoes. His test flight (as passenger) was a single engine take off with a full barrel roll before the reached the end of the runway. He loved the airplanes, as long as they were on the ground with him not in them. He declined the offer. The Mosquito was the plane he had the most war stories about, even more than of the b-24 he flew.
@@cdjhyoung *Hurricane*
@@cdjhyoung the Hurricane's fuselage was covered in doped Irish linen
and a 144th 72nd and 32nd etc. scale mosquito is made of styrene...irony?
Wonderful hubby. You keeps yourself busy. And things you create for us to see. Very unice.
I've always wanted to build a full-size P-51 replica for the yard, this is awesome!
"Something special coming" a Lancaster bomber.
A B-36, lots of pools needed for that.
people: buy cars to drive
Ian: makes his own cars to drive
Lol! True!
Where do people like this get their energy. Colin Furze on CZcams is another example. The list of stuff people like them have produced goes on & on. This man & others like him certainly add spice to life. More power to their elbows! 👍👍👍
I am totally shore this Gentleman can build real fighter plane with no problem, keep excellent work ! Live long and prosper :)
The man is brilliant in his ideas. Those planes are super cool.
For a second I thought the planes actually worked lol
I think they could fly...not sure if they would land though...
Yeah, like if dropped from a helicopter or so....
in theory if the wing shape is correct and the weight low enough it would fly
@@RoverIAC the triplane looked like it had zero airfoil. The 109 had a weird triangle shaped airfoil. Might generate some lift but not ideal I would imagine.
If one of these had been in a playground when I was a kid my world would have been complete.
Ian, you are a treasure to Canada. Thank you for making me smile like a little kid. I am in awe of you sir!!
««And It Keep your mind fresh»» ! That man is a legend.
Now that is the way to spend your retirement. The heck with golf and crossword puzzles!
Lol! True!
This guy is an inspiration to hobbyist that want to show what can be done if you set your mind time and skills.
Well done, fabulous work.
Just hope you have enough room for a Lancaster bomber, :)
I was smiling through the whole piece. What a joy to watch
Glad you liked it!!
Your planes are fantastic and the neatness of your property upon which they sit is superb!!!
I didn't know anybody had done this. Strangely, I was thinking of doing something similar. I was going to build a Stuka dive bomber because it is an interesting shape!
Bob Marshall just do it!
This is amazing, thank you for such content!
Anytime! Thanks for watching! Cheers - Guy
What a cracking chap! Love people like this. ✈️🛩️
Wow! This is cool. I hope he makes a P51. Would love to see it. Great work!
Be difficult to do the blown canopy.
He should team up with an aeronautical engineer and they should build real flying versions of these replicas. Not true to the actual version. But ones that maybe have lighter and thinner fuselages and maybe a modern Rotax motor. But nevertheless looks very convincing in the air.
Gary Pulliam as long as its got similar characteristics, id love to have something that flies like the fw190
Maybe he could convince one of his neighbours to convert part of their fields to a runway - I'd fly in for a visit!
Fantastic collection and an inspiration to us all.
This guy is remarkable! Truly creative and damn his work is astounding! We need far less politicians, but more fellows like this!
Wow . That's wonderful ..
Thank you! Thanks for watching! Cheers Guy
@@CoolestThing I'm not your guy, buddy... I'm not your buddy, friend... I'm not your friend, Guy ... etc
Not everyone has a chance to follow their dream, so jealous. Most of us have to work our ass off until die.
Younger generations don't have the option of retirement like older generations did.
These are the people that should inspire our young generation, not the Kardashians and so called entertainers. This is a skill and passion that inspires
Great stuff!!! Very cool. I know a man who builds full scale replicas of vintage aircraft. He moved to South Africa from Austria after WW2 being a teenager during the war. He is a perfectionist and creates the most amazing aircraft for clients around the world who want them.
Very cool
One mistake though, the Mosquito is not the fastest plane of WW2, the DO-335 was.
Very impressive. They would look nice in a museum.
How could anyone dislike this, Ian Baron you are a legend.
I love your show. Awesome video
Thanks so much! More coming soon!
its awesome that you can retire in Canada...
Most famous planes of WWII? Where’s the Yak? The Il-2? Etc? Anyway bless this man and his hard work!
literally no one cares about russian planes they were terrible pilots
So much energy and happiness about what he enjoys doing. That's the only contagious thing there should ever be. Well done!
This is exactly how the germans made planes during the final stages of WW2
Oh my god, I'm so absent minded that I thought I was watching an old upload.
Until the guy at the end popped up and mentioned not shooting and quarantine. Wow!
Thanks for watching! We have even more coming out soon! Cheers! - Guy
What a top notch bloke . These are REALLY art , not a pile of bricks in the Tate Modern. Keep on recycling , mate , Greta will love you .
Awesome, great work including the experten Adof Galland with the cigar. Congratulations
Come on you know the Mosquito is Not the fastest plane of WWll !!!
It was when it was first introduced.
