A solo traveller from Norfolk, England, exploring new places and capturing them in videos is what I enjoy most!
TravelDan is all about bringing you places from my travels, some that are well known and some that may be very obscure and missed by most tourists. All of my video subjects will be with a historical background or aviation related as these are the two things I go to see on my travels!
Join me on my travels to see just how many historical sites and countries I can get to! I'm also on Instagram as traveldan1994
@@traveldan1 It’s definitely worth a trip! Free admittance, you can bring your own F&B (no glass bottles of course) and there are plenty of camping opportunities as the Red Bull Ring is right across the road! It’s again September 6&7 this year, so you still got some time to think this through!
Love to visit this most iconic city. As a lover of classical music it's a must see. So much history. Not only the birthplace of Mozart but a place where Beethoven spent a considerable amount of time. Thx very much for this! ❤
Greetings from England! I'm glad I managed to visit the museum, was well worth the journey 😁 Are there any more Aviation Museums in Austria I should have tried reaching?
I have a theory that a tower, near to where I grew up, is a Norman tower. I believe it was built at the same time as Dundrum Castle. You mentioned in your commentary, on this video, that Welsh builders built round castle keeps. Would you know of any Norman building experts, who might be able to identify Norman architecture? Here is a link to my video showing the tower. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N2CqDfh4r_I.html
Good question, I'm not sure about that one. As this looks like a small and basic design, there's no particular things like a decorative arch entrance that I would know as being characteristically Norman. I'm no expert by any means, but sometimes it is nice just to have some mystery surrounding ruins like these
Great video. Thank you for that. I’m visiting Sofia in August and plan to go to the Bulgarian Air Force Museum in Plodiv……..no chance of seeing a Draken there!
You should visit The Norwegian Aviation Museum in Bodø, Norway and also the Norwegian Armed Forces Aircraft Collection in Gardermoen, near Oslo in Norway
@@traveldan1 Also, the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology in Oslo has the first ever jetliner to serve with SAS Scandinavian Airlines: - Sud Aviation Carravelle "Finn Viking" LN-KLH on display. Only the third Caravelle produced in the world and the first to enter service outside France. I believe you can enter it, atleast on some days.
Las iguanas fueron interesante porque no tenian miedo a los humanos. Probablemente vivieron generaciones cerca y rodeado por turistas. Pero me da miedo pensando en el daño que las turistas hacen a los animales y a las ruinas.
I think most visitors would be respectful of the ruins and the wildlife that live amongst them. There weren't many people at all on the two times I visited this site, so the iguanas will probably be safe ☺
Two beautiful Saab J-35 Draken preserved in great condition and one shows its built!😍 Very well done!👍🏻 And a Fouga Magister, another very much favorite one! I have to visit this museum.
It is a great museum, well worth the journey to get there! I heard some of the Eurofighters take off whilst I was there but wasn't in time to see them 😅 Hope you get there one day!
Ive been to nearly all the forts in the UAE The heritage village at Fujairah fort was still being built, its good to see its open now, so i will be going back in winter I watched your video on sakamkam fort too, that was closed when i went due to restoration works , and Kalba fort is open now too, so its on my list 🙂
Very nice, these places are great to explore as I've been pretty much the only one there at each fort I visited. I would definitely like to see some more of these, especially the forts at Al Jahili and Al Bithnah
little Known fact too, That the first British built prototype Concorde 002/ G-BSST is also owned by the science museum. The Museum purchased it on the 26th July 1976 after it retired from test work. This was before the Science museum set up it's reserve collection at wroughton airfield near Swindon, which has a few airliners like a hawker sidney trident. Given the London site too is too small for an airliner, It was decided that she would go on display at the Fleet Air Arm museum at Royal Naval Air Station Yeovilton, where she is still open to the public today. Many think she is owned by the Fleet Air Arm museum but in fact she's still owned by the Science museum.
They definitely would not be able to get a Concorde anywhere near the Science Museum unless they were to keep it in the grounds of the nearby Natural History museum!
There are 2 runways at Norwich. Numbers 9 and 27. And since April, we have RyanAir doing regular flights to Alicante and Majorca and other destinations. Great video. Thank you and I have subscribed.😊👍🛫🛫
Thanks for following the videos I'm making here! 😁 I've really enjoyed seeing the Ryanair aircraft come in over the last few months, so when I do another video from here, they will feature in it
@@traveldan1 Probably, but the restoration strengthened the materials to prevent any damage. However, many sites which have been neglected may have suffered some loss.
@@creamsicle1678 I did notice that some parts looked to have been restored with modern techniques. There's nothing else around the area other than a lot of rich people's houses from what I remember 😄
Hey Dan. I strongly recommend you to visit Museum Pusat Dirgantara Mandala (Central Aviation Museum of Dirgantara Mandala) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Managed by Indonesian Air Force, it holds numerous of mostly aircraft operated by IDAF. Love your contents. Keep going 😊
Thank you for your kind comment, glad you are enjoying the videos I'm making! 😁 Of course, anywhere in the world there is an aviation museum, I will try to get to it!
The tour was arranged through the GetYourGuide website. There are quite a lot of variations of the tours which include other stops - mine also stopped off at a place for a buffet lunch and at a cenote. One that arrives at Chichen Itza as soon as it opens is completely worth it though as the site gets very busy by 10am!
As a young lad my Dad took me a six of my pals to Hendon for my birthday in the late seventies. As we were going to the cafe for lunch a low loader was parked up with a dismantled aircraft on it. I recognised it immediateley as I had one hanging from my bedroom ceiling as part of my model collection. An Me110 I even got close enough to turn the rear tail wheel. Happy days!. Nuff said.
There is a picture of a Handley Page 42 airliner being refueled in Cairo. The guy in the picture has a toothbrush mustache. It's not Charlie Chaplin so it must be Hitler! LOL.
Norwich Airport has a website that lists arrivals and departures, so it's easy to know if it's worth taking the trip up there 😁 Will see what other places I could get to for some aviation filming!
What a shame so many iconic aircraft at the museum are outside slowly deteriorating. I hope in time facilities will be available to house them all under cover.
The aircraft are well kept at Newark, certainly in better condition than some I've seen at other air museums! Having them housed inside hangars is good, but for photography, a nice blue sky backdrop does look good! 😁
@@michaelhayden725 Except for the Roulette's Aermacchi on a pole out the front and the 747, haha. I grew up surfing around Kiama and Shellharbour back in the day and remember when the only thing that you were likely to see at Albion Park was the odd Cessna. I think I need a visit to see the completed Southern Cross.
Yeah, I’m surprised the Blackburn Buccaneer wasn’t kept in a hanger. It looked to be in great condition. In our British climate it won’t stay that way much longer.
In the 1950s. My great grandfather was tortured to death by the British and my grandmother survived but she had to run to escape rape, and torture and she managed to hide in a well, gashing and breaking her leg on the descent. She died a few years later in my mothers arms. She [said] that she was lucky that Cyprus has the oldest wells in the world. I know that some British people had nothing to do with invading our homes and land, but there is still some semblance of hate within me towards them. My grandmother found coins from Salamis single-sided silver pieces. The British thieves stole everything. Never let the British people cover Greece and Greek history.
I'm not sure what to say to that, my understanding was that the British were on Greece's side during WW2, then we had not much to do with the country apart from maintaining an airbase on Cyprus post war. There were some dubious characters in the 19th century that siphoned Ancient Greek treasures back to England, but Greece kept most of its history within the country.
I was lucky enough to see the only Saab J-29 at Coventry yesterday but next year I'm planning on visiting here and seeing the other Swedish jets. The collection seems huge here and yet they are planning on expanding more is just crazy.
I remember seeing the Tunnan too, though it was squeezed in their hangar quite a bit! We are lucky that Britain is pretty good when it comes to aviation museums
What an excellent museum! I had a great day the Spring 2023 with my boy and grandson. I fully intend to revisit in 2024 sometime. Great vid, thanks!🏴☠️🤘
