Cheers. We will do.

Not much space in there... You get the impression that some of the switches were operated by feel only. Thanks for the tour!

It really is cramped! I couldn’t even get my camera in so I had to use the iPhone! Glad you enjoyed it.

Real nuts and bolts MOD at its best

Nice.

I finally understand why the Brits loved the F-4 Phantom II so much after coming out a lightning

It's funny you say that because when I asked my friend what it was like getting out of a Lightning and then flying the F4, his answer summed it up. He said, in his actual words. It was like getting out of a Ferrari and then trying to drive Bedford truck!

@@julianneale6128 Yeah it seems like the crews like the phantom more so for its weapons capability and workload sharing rather then its raw performance.

@@ThatGuysProject yes quite so. The Lightning was originally designed as a high performance testing aircraft with the potential to become a fighter, which is exactly what happened. It had many short falls and required many man hours of maintenance. The cockpit was however well laid out and an originator of HOTAS (Hands on Throttle and Stick)...

+Steve D You have to remember that this was designed in the 50's. Also, performance-wise nothing could touch this for YEARS. Some modern jets still can't climb/fly as high like this did.

Is it filmed with a smartphone ? if so, try to start the flash light(torch) of the phone before shooting the video, in this low(er) light and close range it helps. Thanks for this wonderful channel.

It was, yes. I couldn’t fit my normal camera in so I used the next best thing. Cheers for the advice for the future buddy.

Tony still looking good chum !

The only engine configuration that is stacked and staggered,.. Please correct if wrong

I have a question. In all of my years of being an aviation buff, I never quite paid attention to the British terms of "Hi-Pressure Fuel Cock" and the "Low-Pressure Fuel Cock". Can someone tell me why British designed aircraft by definition, have those items and no one else does? What are the differences between the Hi-Pressure Fuel cock and the low-pressure fuel cock?

One's under high pressure the other is low pressure 😅

That single air intake had to be restrictive

If it was restrictive, it would've been designed differently.
