It doesn’t seem to matter what it is, but if it’s mechanical and moves, Guy has a natural ability to understand and operate anything… he was the same on the army hovercraft.. the instructor said it takes days to get it…. Guy had it sorted in minutes.👍👍

I generally have the feeling that Guy gets to do a lot more because people see he takes it absolutely seriously. He's not some TV idiot faffing about going "oh, look how much I suck at this!" while laughing his arse off... No, it's go in, and go in 100%, as a result, they allow him to do much more. I admire that about the man.

My uncle Jim flew one in WW2 at the age of 21. One day he just didn't come back. Never got the chance to meet him 😟 Respect to uncle Jim.

Well done Guy. Thank you, to all that are rebuilding and maintaining the heritage 👍🇦🇺

You can come back again. That's genuine praise.

New title of the series: "The most employable man"

430 of those lanks were built in Milton Ontario Canada at Victory Aircraft. Hamilton Ontario has a museum with an airworthy Lancaster. The sound of those engines, goosebumps.

😂 I love it! Only Guy go do something like this as just a "beginner show him how the cool plane works" type of thing and end up getting offered a job doing it regularly by the end of it because he did so well!

I hope the people at East Kirkby manage to get her into the air. The BBMF Lancaster seems a bit lonely on her own.

I still don't get why they're not teaching the kids in school. What our lads, and women supporting them went through in the war to fly these aircraft in the conditions that they did, site in a mall when you stare at TikTok on your phones.

They should absolutely be teaching kids about the dangers of fascism and racism and WW2 is a good example for them to use, but teaching kids about WW2 pilot training? What a total waste of their school time that would be. That's coming from someone who loves history and have seen untold numbers of documentary's about WW2. As for your claim that you would step up to help Ukraine? Nonsense. You could do so already but haven't. You say you would if there were national service so you're saying you would if you were forced to lol You think younger generations don't step up to the plate? Who do you think makes up the majority of our military right now? Pensioners? Sadly there will always be people who look at the generation after them as being weak or useless. Your parents generation probably thought the same about yours. Just get on with your own life and realise that future generations are no better or worse than yours, they just grew up in a different world to you.

Shit my mates dad had 4000 hrs in Bostons boltemor ,kitty hawks , Dakota , blenham fw 190 Macchi , cobra ,meteors, mostly on the deck with chipped props can’t remember the rest . But blenham was unregistered as he was a machanic 1940 but due to shortage of pilots he assisted from flight engineer to pilot but still ground crew then his co sent him for flight training and in 4 hours he passed flight in a tiger moth as a pilot . Because of his experience in twin engine planes that what he flew but during Africa Italy and far east he supported the group that didn’t exist started with s finished in s and he also did Berlin air lift he also showd us defensive moves at 13 fifty years later some things he told us is now on you tube . What a man . My life long hero always my solo was for him .

Everytime I hear the commentary I can't stop seeing probation worker from Misfits :)

Whilst the overwhelming majority of the young pilots wanted to fly fighters, selection of pilots for the multi engined aircraft was based very much on their ability to being able to coordinate 2 or 4 engines. The fighter boys got the glory but the bomber pilots with their 6 hour or longer sorties in a dark cockpit over a well defended Europe with searchlight belts and night fighters to contend with did the hard flying. Full kudos to the pilots (and crew) of Bomber Command and to Guy for his role in supporting them.

Awesome!

When that one is ready, along with the one here in Canada, that'll be 3 air-worthy Lancasters. I believe there's a 2nd one here in Canada undergoing work, and I think another in Australia or New Zealand? It would be quite a sight to have them all up, flying together.

I used to know an old man. He was a Lancaster pilot. DFC and bar. I think he had been shot down and had escaped. I had watched the Dambusters and spoke to him about it. Oh yes, he said they asked me to be on that squadron. I said no. He said when he found out what they had done, he was pleased he said no.

I have had the great pleasure of being on board that Lancaster and being taken for a ride round the field, lying in the bomb aimer's position. The experience of a lifetime.

Well done guy good job

Absolutely love the lancaster's, Guy's one lucky sob 🤤🤙

Is this part of a TV series? I saw the one where he trained as a Second World War Pilot. He started on the Tiger Moth, then the Havard, and eventually the Hurricane, all in the capable hands of Anna Walker.

Good date to upload. Dambusters raid date 👌🏻

I was watching military aircraft on adsbexchange on May 15, 2022 and saw this Lancaster flying circuits. I was amazed to find that a WW2 aircraft was still registered as an active-duty aircraft. Is it part of a British "Confederate" Air Force similar to what is established in the US with many historic aircraft?

Hi Guy, I hope you will be able to pilot Lancaster, I would not know what to do in a minute of Lancaster piloting, so hopefully you can do it 👍😊
