The look of lightning is still awe-inspiring to this day, I remember them going supersonic near my home on the coast of east Yorkshire..............BOOM!
So sad when the Tonkas went.. didn't like them at first as used to the lightnings and Buccaneers but i learned to love them and do understand technology moves on in the typhoon.
Amazing Video! Is it possible to use a few sections of your Sounds ?I will of course tag you in the link! I'm currently editing a flight to Skiathos in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020! Thank you and cya!
I can feel my bones shaking just watching this. Cheerio, Tonka, a wonderful aircraft to see and best of all to work on. I don't care what my old bosses said, they could've revamped you cos you were by far the best low level bomber in the nato arsenal. As the comedian Jim Davidson said, any other bomber flew about 15 feet higher than what the Jane's manual described as the highest level missile, whereas the Tonkas were hitting the enemy in the back of their heads as they screamed by 😅
Nice video. Not too rare for a 70 series, but more so a 72! Almost all 72s were private VIP planes, unless she was a freighter when 62 series, and stayed a freighter. Rare would have been a 61/63. She was probably been delivered somewhere. Still, nice video ideed.

It is only when physically confronted by the immense amount of money and resources that every developed country on earth has committed to armaments and military expenditure that the realisation dawns that our species must have a 'mad' gene in our DNA. There is no other explanation. Think of where humanity would be if all that brain power, materials and know-how had been directed to improving our lives on Earth instead of rotting in countless fields everywhere.
Went there early October 2023. Great museum! Much MiGs!!!! Sadly, many are out in the open and need care. Great displays of engines and recovery/restoration efforts. Thanks for a great day. Awesome video by the way.
I flew in one taking RAF pesonel and families to Khormaksar Aden in 1958,stopping in Malta for fuel and a meal,, then a further stop somewhere in I believe Libya for refuelling.
Very interesting to learn about Blackbushe . My last view of it was from a Tri-Pacer before l parachuted down. Information about this place would be good as it appears to have been overlooked ?
London Airport had so many fogs that Blackbushe, Bovingdon and Northolt were used . Luton as well; it was fairly small in the Fifties. Iremember the Cunard Eagle fleet being based at Blackbushe.
For the first 8 years of my life, the Tornado was an important part of it, as My dad was an engineer and ground grew for the Tornado in the RAF, I was born in Elgin Moray Scotland 1996, not far from RAF Lossiemouth, then moved to Bruggen in 1998, spent the last 3 years of Bruggen's life as an RAF station, before closing in 2001 and relocated to RAF Marham where I again spend 3 years having to constantly listen to roar of its 2 engines and loving every minute of it!! Really sad the Tornado is no longer flying in the Royal AIr Force.😥
