I love the F-106. thank you for this story.

I'm from Belgium and saw the F-15's screaming over our heads. Never saw an F-15 before. Belgium has F-16's right. I was on my way to France and just made a pitstop on rhe highway. To learn like an hour or so later that 'a jet' had crashed on a farm.

Why oh why are these brave young men not celebrated more. Every day we enjoy freedoms thanks to their bravery and sacrifice. Thank you.

I had given up my flying in this 'job' for H.P. shortly before this sad incident occurred. I later met John Tank, who I had known well. Too sad for the others.

that 360 roll took my breath away!

great account and detail thank you

The sdtupidity of war 2 months later we were having to rebuild the viaduct.

I was on 92 Sqn what you say in your transcript is not quite true, I was a FLM on the day of the incident working out of the HAZ next door

Some 35 years ago, as a young first officer on L1011 Tristars, I flew with Captain John Tank. I remember him as a very pleasant man to fly with. I remember him telling me the story of this incident. One amusing part was that when he landed he gathered up his parachute in his arms and walked along a country lane to a bus stop where he politely joined the queue. Those in the queue paid little or no attention to a man with a parachute. Quite normal.

6 years from first flight to service. Not very impressive.

Wonder what generated the yaw element for the spin to initiate. Were the leading edge slats automatic? Could they deploy independently?

Beautiful plane.

Those pilots were fairly low time to be test pilots Why were the extra crew members aboard during a dangerous test

Stubton is in Lincolnshire, a small detail I know.

I miss her 1967-1968 journey entirely. She was present at the Aden withdrawal and has visited Fremantle, Singaport, Tokyo, The COcos Islands, Gan, etc. That commision also gave new crewmembers the opportunity to gain both the Neptune certificate and the Bluenose certificate.

The best thing to call her was a test bed for the aircraft carrier! A place to test out new concepts to see what works!

I thought it was called the bunker breaker.

This is a lot of huffing and puffing for little blow. The real story about the tall boy comes in their use on German U-boat pens. The British waited until the U-boats pens were finished thinking their tall boy bombs could be used to destroy them after so much work had gone into their construction. Too bad they were completely wrong yet AGAIN! The roofs of the U-boat pens were 20 ft thick reinforced concrete. The much ballyhooed bombs barely scratched the surface. Same for the flak towers in Berlin, Hamburg and Vienna. Those massive concrete structures are still there to this day completely undamaged and indestructible.

Robot voice has odd speaking metre. Interesting story.

Let’s just take a look on whats going on the amount of money blood damage involved in a was is unbelievable but governments find it easy to get from the banks. If spread out t amongst the people there would be no wars 😂

An excellent and very informative film. Well done! I'm now a subscriber.

Sry nukes don't exist

Great netflix movie about this raid "The Bombardment "

Love the video, thanks. I feel like I'm having a red pill moment though as I've literally just read a book about exactly this and an hour later your video comes up top of this list. I didn't get the book on line and don't search or look for this stuff on line, it was just happenchance. Sorry it's just weird.

They were all really young

another officer getting decorated for killing his men, typical.

The crew should have deployed the aircraft’s parachute. A BAC 1-11 was lost due to a deep stall. Future test aircraft were fitted with a parachute

I remember well the crash of XM716 in 1966 as my friends father was the Captain. It was a big shock as I was 12 at the time. The cause of this crash was a structural failure looked like the pilot exceeded structural limits during a demonstration turning too tightly during a turn.

Wow, thanks for that inspiring story of courage.

The air ministry would not agree the extra £180 per aircraft to fit ejector seats for the entire crew, suggesting instead handholds in the floor and swivel seats. The flying coffin springs to mind.

Great video, Dec. Give my regards to Ant.

====================== The Fog of War - it happens ======================

I'm a former Phantom Armourer and I know the guy who taped up the white cross over the Master Arm switch, I know this guy and I'll tell you he says it was taped up. Even if it wasn't the pilot should have Noticed on his pre flight check. This is 100% Aircrew error and doesn't surprise me they are trying to deflect the blame elsewhere.

British way of constructing a battleship: Crash! Boom! Bang!

I joined up in 83 so very much my era aircraft. Many people tell of being there at that time. 'Apparently' the controller had to ask the pilot his missile status on return to the airfield several times because there was a number missing. Also the ground crew looked at the aircraft and missing missile. I think a fortunate miss of the pilot but a heck of a lot learned, not obly for aircrew, but also ground crew. In 87 I was posted to Guttersloh on 18 SQN Chinooks.

10th Parachute Battalion, not regiment.

I started myapprenticeship at A V Roe Woodford on Vulcan wings in 1954.

How on earth would these be expected to deliver nuclear ordinance into Soviet territory when they couldn't drop conventional ordinance to the Falklands? Refueling was their main obstacle not radars or aaa or enemy fighters. Just flying straight south until tanks need topping off? I can see this old gal delivering free fall atom bombs in the 50s or maybe with 60s technology but nothing past that.

I've visited winkie many times at the McManus galleries in Dundee & really enjoyed telling the story to my grandson, pigeons are such fantastic birds, god bless you oor winkie 🫡🕊️🎖️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧

Didnt this craft haul tourists and thier cars to Europe?

Any relation to Alcock and brown?

A good ship with a good crew who did their duty for their country and each other. May they all truly rest in peace.

I wonder why such a trial would not be conducted over the sea?

great channel, thanks and regards from germany.

RIP To the 115 United Colonies forces (20 POWs who were captured died) and 226 British soldiers and officers who were killed in the Battle of Bunker Hill

A system using thrust vectoring to push the tail up therefore nose down using bleed air from the engines could be used to recover from a deep stall on T tail planes, but i suppose it would be quite complex and not make economical sense. Just a bit of outside the box thinking.

Wow, didn't realise Dec was doing aeronautical videos now, makes a sober change to his clowning about with Ant😂

On a T-tail aircraft the CG must be about 5% forward of center of balance to avoid a deep stall failure of recovery. The FAA requires all commercial airlines to pass a deep stall recovery before certification.

The Victor is the most beautiful aircraft ever produced..!
