I was in the runway caravan at Manchester Airport in the 1970s when the Red Arrows landed after a display! One of them went over a runway side7 light and smashed it, so we had to run over with brushes to sweep up the glass before anything else could land or take off!
The "request permission" and "OVER" are ridiculous and outdated concepts in aviation - except in movies - until I saw this clip! Normal aviation jargon would be "Red arrows XYZ, flight of ten on final runway XX" with a terse reply: "Red Arrows XYZ, runway XX, cleared to land".
@@maxsdad538 The Wireless Telegraphy Act says so if its not a general reception transmission. Air Traffic doesnt operate as a general transmission, so unless they and potentially the Red Arrows gave permission to the person to a) listen and b) rebroadcast something has been done wrong.
Crikey every action is the callsign.. Redarrows going for a ablution , ,Red arrows claiming marital rights ,red arrows ,ten pints red arrows ten cases of std .
If it hadn't been for the title and the footage I wouldn't had a clue what happened in this video. RU-vids auto generated subtitles didn't stand a chance. Nice video though. :-)
@Dr.Andy Hill The golden rule for aeroplane safety "aviate, navigate, communicate". Yes, talking to the tower is important.. but not as important as the other two!😉
Also the police,air ambulance, military aircraft and search and rescue helicopters must contact ATC to get permission to enter controlled airspace,take off and land. That hadn't occurred to me until I heard it locally. Loads of military aircraft training going on over the uk last few weeks, some interesting planes about.. With interesting names.
just as a pointer, be careful when uploading UK ATC comms, (from the NATS website) "It is illegal under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 1949 2006 to listen to anything other than general reception transmissions unless you are either a licensed user of the frequencies in question or have been specifically authorised to do so by a designated person." not sayin you will get in trouble for it as alot of people do listen, just sayin to be careful.
I've seen them flying in formation, good fun. But the air show also broadcast their radio communications and the pilot guiding them sounded a little high pitched, a bit like the radio chatter in this clip, any reason for that?
I believe that when displaying the lead pilot will use certain intonation and inflection with their voice to help with timing manoeuvres correctly, theres some videos of the blue angels that show this very nicely. Then the other factor of it is that they're military pilots so have the oxygen mask strapped to their face which can change the sound of their voice and being military pilots they're used to all the ATC comms plus military comms, especially being Red Arrows as they are some of the best pilots we have
While sailing my Dunkirk Little Ship around from the Thames to Ramsgate along with some other members, we were over flown by the Red Arrows, they dipped there wings as a salute and went onto land at South End Airport. Puts a lump in my throat remembering it.
Good grief, been there done that too. In about 1995 dropped 1/4 million paper poppies (the paper part of standard poppy badges) into the circle of boats formed up in The Channel. Raymond Baxter was the man (supposedly) in charge. The RAF failed to get us a low flying chart of France, so we ran in using my Michelin road atlas!
@@HerbertTowers I bought my boat when she returned from the 1995 Return to Dunkirk. Raymond Baxter was the Hon Admiral and one of the founders of the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships. My first return was the 2000, we had a Spitfire over fly us crossing to Dunkirk. Prince Philip Inspected the fleet at Dover and Prince Charles chatted with crew in Dunkirk. I flew in from Hong Kong to get the boat ready and take part. After getting back to London I attended a wedding at the Tower of London, so a great trip all round. What were you flying in 1995, in later years a Hercules that dropped along a jetty, two Dunkirk Veterans in the foreground must have had kippers. Another year a ships Helicopter was used. I tried to get a 1938 Tiger Moth for 2010 but they had problems with landing permission in France???
In retrospect it was only 9 Hercs. It was the recovery after an airborne assault (para) exercise. As I was landing the back 3 were still overhead - about to break.
@@mikeoudt3216 Sorry, I wouldn't know. It was a try a fly experience, they're also called sail planes. It was a two seater, airplane towed launch off a hill.
@@TornadoLuigi That makes sense.. thanks. I thought they were all long gone! You never know however... I was at Canberra Airport some years ago and there was a Luftwaffe A318 (319? -the Long range version obviously) sitting on the RAAF side... so you never know what you'll see! Long way to fly in a narrow body twin...
On one hand we have Johnson and his idiot cabinet of cowed brexys, aaaaand on the other the great Red arrows. one is highly competent and makes us proud of Britain and the other...............
