Beautiful sight of an RAF Lancaster Bomber taking off from Guernsey on the way to a display in Jersey. Listen to those old Merlin engines!

  • My late father was a Flight Leftenant Lanc pilot during the war, flew over Germany over 20 times, i grew up admirring the Lancaster. To see one flying is just majestic, they are beautiful planes.

    Respect to all those brave men who died during the battle of Britain.

    Good old Bomber Harris and Sir Winston Churchill.

    Rule Brittania,.

    We avenge.

  • @TONYNASRI The sound of hundreds of Lancs passing overhead at night must have been the sweet sound of freedom to those people living under the Nazi jackboot. Almost like they were saying "we're coming to get you, to free you and rain hellfire upon those who enslave you"

  • I've been in one. Not as sleek as the b-17 but it had a pretty damn big bomb bay.

  • @heybuddyheybuddy "Revisionist" is an academic euphemism for denial. Like for example suggesting that in ancient times those who were kept enslaved were ok with that because they "didn't know better". It's a second slap in the face of those who did resist, and died in many cases. I really hate that term.

  • My Grandfather was an engineer at a Lancaster factory near Manchester (metro vickers I think). Some Lancaster's flew back from Germany with the entire tail section shot off. They don't make them like that anymore.

  • Lancaster <3

  • Definite goosebumps! Beautiful machine.

  • So, who's got goosebumps now! lol

  • My Granddad new a reir gunner of this Beast.

  • Just hearing the low loud drone of that engine gives me goosebumps! An amazing machine!!

  • It was a shame that the Lancaster didn't join the Hurricane and Spitfire at Capel Le Ferne yesterday :/ Ah well, I got to see it at RAF Conningsby last year - absolutely breathtaking plane.

  • ive touched and slep under one of these planes and it was working guess how many are working the awnser is 2
