The window underneath the Vulcan B.2s nose was a throwback to the earlier B.1 model which called for a prone bomb aimer in the old sense to drop the bombs. This area retained the window on the B.2, but wasn't fitted out for dropping bombs.
They have a wonderful selection of British Cold War veterans on display there, did you go back to the Shackelton to look inside its fuselage? thats an amazing aircraft developed from the Lincoln which was in turn was developed from the Lancaster. it had some rather flattering and not so flattering nicknames such as the "Shack", "Growler" for the sound its engines made, and "a hundred thousand rivets flying in close formation."
Yes I did go back I made a video called stepping into the Avro Shackleton it was an amazing experience climbing across all the sections to get to the front of the plane 👍
Yes it really was to see history and learn how they was used it was spectacular 👍🏻😁 Thank you for watching we really appreciate it 🥰 We are planning more exciting trips and places, so stay tuned for up and coming videos thanks again 👍🏻
Chinook HC.1 ZA717 was heavily damaged in an accident in the Falklands which led to it becoming an instructional airframe for loadmasters at RAF Cranwell.
Graveyard really , such a shame to see them like this . Quietly rotting away .but thats what happens . Fair play to Newark , some really tasty aircraft in this place .Intresting place , well worth a visit methinks . Good vid .
It’s a really stunning place and to see all the planes that was once used and its history on show is just amazing. They are under restoration so it’s interesting to see. I’ve got loads more footage to go though so there will be another video. Thank you for watching 🙏
