Dedication from all involved in restoring and maintaining this historic WWII bomber aircraft, I could only think of all the young airmen who worked on and flew in these Lancasters through wartime and what it could of possibly meant. ----- Part1 flight begins with engines starting then @ 00:48sec 3/4 throttle takeoff from Hamilton CWHM , cockpit view 1:53min along Great Lake Ontario to Toronto with a CN Tower flypast 07:01min . 45 degree bank turn over Toronto at 07:24 then over Lake Ontario with a upper mid gunners view 07:51min, onto Niagara Falls 10:33min, , There are several warplane flights available with a membership ----- www.warplane.com

  • How long was the flight ? You lucky dog, color me green with envy

  • @TBM3EAvenger it was about 50mins in the air , to feel this flight you need to have a computer speaker system thats turned up loud enough it vibrates the floor and you cannot hear someone next to you if you were to try and talk to them

  • @ironpirites My uncle was flying officer (Navigator) on a Halifax. He was shot down on March 24/25 1944 over Berlin. Porcupine Sdq 433 from Northern Ontario. I wish i could of ask my mother for more info before she passed away 15 years ago. God Bless all these courages souls that gave their lives. Like u said, flying in total darkness must of been a nightmare is sooo true. That night in March over Berlin must of been a nightmare for all the crew...RIP

  • Thankyou so kindly for a truely remarkable video. Those four RR Merlins sound fantastic and I am stunned to as why anyone could even have the disrespect to dislike this video. When watching this, I took a few minutes to imagine the shear courage of those servicemen flying these machines, unaided across Europe and having to be alert at all times for German fighters. A big salute to all you guys. Thankyou.

  • @boeing747ba ...Uh this RCAF aircraft was built in Canada...and rebuilt in Canada!

  • take it home to englad it says royal air force on the side for a reason

  • My Dad was an RCAF Lancaster Pilot in WW2. Now I can see what it was like to fly in a Lanc, except of course for.....being over a foreign country in the middle of the night trying to find the bombing target and getting shot at, and seeing your buddies drop out of the sky beside you.

  • Wonderful!!! The other one, over here in UK, belongs to the Battle of Britain Memorial flight, part of the RAF, which does not permit those lucky enough to get a ride to take pictures or video.
