Brian, knowing the dangers of flying above previous known ceiling .... assessed the criteria , and knew he had the skill to take it to 87,000ft...incredible !!
Thanks so much for this!! Yesterday we were at Airforce Museum in Ysterplaat where they had a show. In the museum we saw a video playing (at that stage we saw how they climbed of the plane and reunited with their families) but we had no idea what the video was about so we walked on. At 1pm they started the Shackelton and it was very impressive. So last night my husband decided to search about this plane, as he knew about this one that fell in the desert. He searched and found these videos on RU-vid and I couldn't believe that you created these videos. We have been following you for years and love your 4x4 stories. We watched it now and enjoyed it. Thank you for these amazing videos!! Unfortunately we saw nothing about this crash at the museum. 😢 So if my husband didn't know about this and searched some more, we would never have known.
Thank you for sharing your work on RU-vid. We appreciate you. Yesterday they started a Shackleton at Ysterplaat and it was so wonderful to see and experience. What a beautiful thing! Now for this great series. Thanks also for the airforce museum at Ysterplaat. Great experience!
Hi from South Africa, I am a keen viewer of your programs and videos. I have a D4d Toyota dcab 4x2 and I want to do overlanding and doing as many trips as possible . I have just recently gone up Sarni Pass in my bukkie, problem I had was shocks etc and a little clearance as it’s standard 15” tyres 50/50 What can I do to make my vechile better handling off road and who would be the best person to give the vehicle a once over and who would be the best in supplying bumpers Thank you Keep up the amazing shows and reviews
Fabulous interview. I was in Saudi in 1969 and only a few days after arriving the Lightnings apeared one after the other until 20 were there. No maintenance facilities , setting up the instrument shop and hoping there were intelligent and qualified guys arriving to back me up . Lack of water !! Anyone remember it?
I’m very pleased that others are highlighting the bureaucracy that the Tasmanian NPWL is imposing unreasonable financial pressure on people like Rob Parsons and Levi Triffit whose only crime is to promote Tasmania. I also believe that this is being done to frustrate well meaning people and to extract extra revenue for NPWL, and possibly the Tasmanian government. Keep going Rob you ARE doing a fantastic job!
Seems like an answer might be found in the operations of New Zealand and the tourism board there. I get the feeling that Tasmanian Govt. is like the ugly Farm owner in Quigley Down Under. Is life in “Tazi” so idyllic that there are no longer curbs- but angled inclines so “ road rash rims” no longer create unsightly wheel blemishes on cars?? …😮😮😮😢😢
Just For your information Andrew, Robs product line has not changed at all, He still builds drawer systems under a new company , He actually joined up with custom installations to form Custom Overland Solutions, I would be nice if you could get your facts correct first before putting things on youtube for the world to see . Regards Rob and Chris
Me too. I have been intimately connected to Lightnings 1968 to the present time 10yrs 30MU RAF Sealand as a radio-tech on all the Lightning avionic kit, at one time or another. Then 3yrs at RSAF Tabuk as a tech trainer I/II. Back in UK found XS458 at Cranfield on a trip to a RSGB rally looking for bits for Thrust SSC ( that's yet another story) went over for the "£2 50p cockpit tour. Well joined the group and met Brian many many times, when he came up to do fast taxis. We had a bond being X RSAF. And yes on my last runway run we lost the brake chute due to mind numbing incompetence of the new owner. However Brian GRH managed to bring her to a stop. Somehow, getting round the corner at Alpha. We sat there waiting for the breaks to go-- BANG BANG!!! Nope sat there for a while till Tony and the gang came down and dragged 458 off the grass and back onto the Alpha hold point. He'd been here, done that but this time on only a 9Kft runway!!!!. Brian was a legend and God how I miss him. I have a goregeous pic of Brian and Jimmey Dell in 458 when JD came up for a run. I consider myself massively fortunate to have been involved with Tony Hulls project and a shared love with BC. Massive thanks for this video you will have touched many a heart within vid am shure.

I went to the Ysterplaat museum This morning and the Shackleton captured my imagination such that I googled it when I got home and found this story. Wow, just wow!
Interesting. I love and loved the large glass area on my classic range rover, d2, d3, d4. The old carb engine range rover are super simple so should be reliable. my 81 was reliable. There again that was in 85 for a few years.
NPDs like Andrew tend to have a superb sense of self-worth, believe they are entitled to special treatment and are preoccupied with fantasies of power, success, and unrealistic abilities. I believe Toyota, Land Rover etc have nothing to gain by having anything to do with this irrelevant RU-vidr.
This Johann Klopper story is by far the funniest story about a trip gone wrong. I’ve listened to it 5 times. ASPW is a great storyteller… Btw: Johann Klopper reminds me of the cheap AI services these days… 😊
Why do I have the feeling that I have already watched this exact video before? Does this video exist somewhere else? This is absolutely no complain, I just try to be sure about myself :)
I was going to recommend Dipel. The Bacillus is totally harmless to humans (you can eat it). But - if ingested by a caterpillar it reacts within its stomach and kills off the caterpillar. Great organic treatment. Greetings from Melbourne 🙏
I did research into combustion a few years back. Turbulence increases burn efficiency at the point of ignition. My research was in solid biofuels but I would think an engine would follow the same physics. Smoothing the cylinders doesn’t make sense. The engineered shape would affect flow volume but you don’t want laminar flow.
Andrew, great story! have you considered China as a potential adventure location, there is a no-man's land about the size of NSW between qinghai tibet and xinjiang, it's filled with glacier, deserts, and steppes averaging 4500m in altitude. best thing it's filled with tracks from mine prospecting lol😇
Having had one of each of the diesel variants since the 2H it just struck me that once you were out of the city and off the main highways, none of those vehicles,I felt were underpowered.
I worked in a diesel repair shop with an old school pump room. We did literally hundreds of those immobiliser bypass jobs. Colt 2.8 especially was very prone to this problem. On many vehicles, the pump had to be removed from the vehicle to get to the solenoid where the immobiliser connected to. It was covered with a hard plastic shell, with one-way bolts that had to be carefully drilled out. Obviously a theft deterrent. Stupid dealership 🙄 Old school diesels with mechanical injector pumps and "normal" injectors don't have an ecu😂😂 The Isuzu kb 250 FLEETSIDE, an enormously underpowered vehicle had a "check engine" light, although it had purely mechanical fuel injection. Not sure what it's purpose was, as it would turn on with the ignition, and go off when the engine started. The newer common rail diesels obviously have an ecu and diagnostic ports. I'm not all that fond of them, although they're all going that way for emissions and obviously they perform way way better. Just be mindful to change the injectors timeously, especially if you work the vehicle hard and tow heavy loads. They love to burn a hole in a piston, and then it's goodbye engine😁👍🏻
[8:33] Nice story as usual. But getting out of the salt lake deserved more elaboration on the methods used? Hi-Lift jack shifting, digging. deflating, vertical winching..etc thanks
