FunFact 1: The EE Lightning was the first aircraft to 'Supercruise'. Which means go supersonic without use of afterburners / reheat. That was in 1954. The Americans thought they invented the idea with the F-22 in 1997. By which time we had built TSR-2 and put Concorde in service which 'Supercruised' across the Atlantic @ Mach 2 in the '60s. Funfact 2: The first truck I bought to try my hand as an owner operator was an 'L' reg Scania 110 sleeper tractor unit in about 1975. I used it to pull Norfolk Line trailers off of Great Yarmouth. Great days and that thing was bullet proof. Eventually had a 111 and a 141. After a break to do a proper job and the joy of redundancy I went back on the road and bought a Scania 113 360 tag axle tractor unit. You have to get that cab sorted as the refueler goes with all your military stuff. That was some aircraft park though. Some classic aircraft there.

If supercruise means going supersonic without afterburner, then the Concorde did not do that. It used 4 afterburners to get through the transonic range.

@@SgfGustafsson Wrong. While it used afterburners for take off at higher weights and to gain Mach 0.89 it then cut afterburners to exceed Mach 1 and then accelerated further up to Mach 2 WITHOUT afterburners. However even if it had used afterburners to gain Mach 2 the fact it MAINTAINED Mach 1+ without afterburners is the ability to 'Supercruise'. And not only did it maintain supersonic speed without afterburners it did so for the best part of 3,300 miles. No other aircraft came close.

@SgfGustafsson

@@1chish I don't think you understand aerodynamics. The transsonic range is where the most drag occurs. Once at like mach 1.2 the drag goes down significantly, hence the need for afterburners to power through it. Once above the transsonic range you no longer need excessive thrust to maintain airspeed. The Concorde, like all other aircraft, utilized afterburners in order to accelerate through the transsonic range before turning them off once through it. You can watch a video of the pilots doing this and explaining what they are doing. Edit here: A point I'm trying to make is that once you're above around mach 1.2 you don't need as much thrust, so it isn't that impressive that you're able to maintain cruise after that point. The impressive thing is designing engines that can still work at supersonic speeds.

@@SgfGustafsson Shamelesly copied from Wikipedia: Supercruise is sustained supersonic flight of a supersonic aircraft with a useful cargo, passenger, or weapons load without using afterburner (also known as "reheat"). Many supersonic military aircraft are not capable of supercruise and can only maintain Mach 1+ flight in short bursts with afterburners. Aircraft such as the SR-71 Blackbird are designed to cruise at supersonic speed with afterburners enabled. Some 4th generation fighter jets are technically capable of supercruise, but only at high altitudes and in a clean configuration. For an aircraft to be deemed capable of true supercruise, it must be able to carry a normal load for an extended distance without diving or using an afterburner.[1] Planes marketed as featuring supercruise usually have the ability to carry a combat load at low to medium altitudes; being able to break Mach 1 without afterburner does not necessarily show supercruise ability. For example, the Federation of American Scientists defined supercruise as "the ability to cruise at speeds of one and a half times the speed of sound or greater without the use of afterburner for extended periods in combat configuration" in discussing the F-22.[2] One of the best-known examples of an aircraft capable of supercruise was Concorde. Due to its long service as a commercial airliner, Concorde holds the record for the most time spent supersonic; more than all other aircraft combined

My dad drove a Scalia 110 and it was a tipper and it sounded the same. Brought back memories of school holidays at work with my dad. 👍. The Electric lightning was the plane that chased and caught the American U2 spy plane as the yanks said it was to high to catch. The electric lightning passed it at 80,000 feet and was still climbing and vey fast 👍

I worked on these when they were new. Absolutely bullet proof and Jet A1 makes great cleaning fluid. Brush it on, loosen the dirt and hose it off. The highly refined kero is brilliant stuff.

I bet that pumping equipment would work straight away! The filters will be shagged and the tank full of JetA1 eating fungus but the pump/meter and kit is usually fairly bomb proof

Well worth rescuing.

We picked up a brand new 110 super LBS in -72. Had a boogie that was lifted when the truck had no load, robson drive and hydraulic cylinder to tilt the bed. Was used as timber and dump-truck for about 10 years. Learned to drive in that

My uncle worked for scania austria for 46 years he loved that Video 👍

Snap-on primadonna haha I like those tools too!!

"Camera work is going to get unsteady cos you have to bank him" , I think that's what you said 😂

Enjoyed your video; the old LB 111 it will take a lot of work to restore but at least the chassis is good that’s a huge bonus and it’s just a day cab so less to repair there, I don’t know many people in this country now that have parts for that age off Scania, I worked on and drove them as a young man and as I recall nearly all of them went to export, but watching your video surprisingly most of the parts appear to be there! good luck with it, by the way some of the ignition keys were fiddly you had to push them in and hold them then hit the starter button, good luck boys crack on!!

I'll have to look around on your channel I want to see some more videos on those planes!

Looks great 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Old Scanias never die. Be nice if you could save the cab.

That ladder is amazing!

I drove a Scania 110 at Arlanda airport in '89, in the semi-trailer configuration with a 65 m3 tank. (On second thought it was an 111). Great truck, but you had to be careful with the clutch at full load or the drive shaft would break.
