Planes and especially WW11 era Planes have been my thing since a child in the 60's. I'm ex RAF, having worked on Lightnings amongst others. 'Nine Lives ' , as Winkle was otherwise known, is a hero of mine. I really appreciate these videos and praise the foresight of the guys that made them. Thankyou Eric and thankyou all.

The Martin Baker seat in the Australian Avon Sabre worked well but pilots died in otherwise successful ejections - the top of their head had been taken off by the canopy which was separated by explosive bolts. This was fixed by disarming the bolts and putting a bolt on top of the seat which simply smashed through the canopy. Or so I recall. I was a radio tech, not armourer.

What a remarkable chap, such a vivid memory and knowledge.

Read his book, wings on my sleeve, i got an ecopy via google books, these clips are almost a spoken version. When you realise what he did, without instruction on so many aircraft of all types, just raw ability, i dont mind saying i was in awe of his natural talent.

@dallesamllhals9161 3 года назад

"without instruction" = Test Pilot?

Amazing man. Lived not far from where I used to live. Wish I'd had a chance to speak to him. 'Wings on my sleeve' is a great book for those interested in his life.

The Dornier 335 is my favourite plane of the war so interesting that he had so much to say about it.

@Imnotyourdoormat 5 лет назад

agreed...ever seen the 335 hybrid?...prop in the front/jet in back...

@hajoos.8360 5 лет назад

The Do335 was developed due to the jet-engine-probs. And they needed fast props to fight Mustangs at their air-bases.

@geoffdearth7360 4 года назад

He wasn't afraid to give credit where it was due. Maybe that interfered with his knighthood.

my least favourite aircraft. My uncle who was Winkles commanding officer at Farnborough died in one in Jan 1946.

Astonishing man. Just read his book that I found in 'Works' for £2. I see the Horten IX V2 'flying wing' model in the background. I thought this was a figment of Steven Speilberg's imagination!

@thehobgoblin9790 6 лет назад

So why don't you mention Alexander Lippisch, who was doing flying wings before Northrop.

@welshpete12 6 лет назад

what has that got to do with it ?

@robertpatrick3350 Год назад

@@thehobgoblin9790 why didn’t you reference Dunne or Junkers?

@thehobgoblin9790 Год назад

@@robertpatrick3350 Why didn't I mention Penaud, Ellehammer, Etrich, Cheranovsky or Arnoux for that matter. And the Junkers G38 wasn't a flying wing, and Dunne's also had a short fusalage.. You will notice that Welshpete12 's comment is no longer there. IIR (this was 4 years ago) he was on about Northrop being the first to come up with the idea, and bringing it to fruition.....Hence the answer.

@samrodian919 3 года назад

Wonderful man I am full of admiration of him. So knowledgable and erudite, but of course he was a test pilot, he had to be able to talk about what he experienced in the cockpit in minute detail. But he has a remarkable recall all those years later.

@idleonlooker1078 4 года назад

Little known fact: with creating the first ejection systems they discovered that it was imperitive that the first priority was to ensure the release of the canopy - otherwise the pilot experienced a funny "thudding" sensation to his nut!! 🤣🤣🤣

@sblack48 Год назад

He 219 didn’t have the mossie performance but did it really need it? It just had to be faster than the bombers. It wasn’t like there was s shortage of targets later in the war. There were 1000 plane raids. Their biggest problem was running out of ammo!

@wanderschlosser1857 Год назад

Well yes, if you want to shoot down the target marking or reconnaissance Mosquitos it was a problem. Both would have helped to get the British night bombers off target. Way more effective than shooting them down.
