Guy's first Lancaster Flying Lesson | Guy Martin Proper

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 .

TAXIING*

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.

When men where men

No. 44 (Rhodesia) Sqn, Dunholme Lodge '43-'44, Y-Yorker B Flight ND578 (a tone up Lanc). RIP John.

I want this job, where do I sign up 😍

пару раз посмотрел стал маячить персонаж известный как...gits...частотоноволновой фактор..вселенная голографический фрактал..

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.

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.

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

Did he take the job ?

The most famous Lancaster pilot was called Guy

I'm sure you had all the proper ratings and everything to left seat that aircraft..

Oh dear

Il on l’air con avec leurs pouces

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.

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

Lancaster : A beautiful and strong airplane.....

Well done Guy! Bloody proper job mate 👍😎🇦🇺

Absolutely brilliant as usual!

Flew in one early 1981 at Scampton !

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

One word is all I need to describe Guy: L.E.G.E.N.D.

I’m only here because my mums dad, survived the last two years of WW2 . As a rear gunner on a Lancaster bomber.

Joli !!!

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?

Typically unphased Guy!. Working at those speeds would be like waiting to fall through the sands of time. Not to mention owning a Merlin himself.. what a cracking opportunity to be on the official taxi list for a Lancaster. Well done fella. Becoming a National Treasure with every escapade.. (already is to die hard fans!)

Like a duck to water... Never fails to impress

Jane will be flight worthy soon, that will be the day of days.

Jolly Good Show! Thank You So Much for sharing! Long Live the RAF 🇬🇧🕯🌷🌿🌍💖🕊

Just sitting in the seat with power off I would just lose my shit and cry. Firing up the engines would end my life. Such a beautiful creation.

Just a hoon doing ringies around a grass paddock!!
Well done Guy

Normal people "If you can taxi a Landcaster, you can fly it, as it is blahblahblah"
Guy: "Yeah, it was very intuitive"

im sure he gives proper lessons

Bloody rite I would... Love it :) the shot with all the birds taxiing was a beaut :) :) :) TFS, GB :)

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 met a man, from Belfast, years ago, he'd been a rear gunner in a Lanc. He drank pink gin from a hip-flask, LOL.

Guy has that innate ability to handle anything you throw at him. Most people would struggle with something that big whereas guy just seems to have hydraulic fluid flowing through his veins.

Wasn't the Lancaster a single pilot plane?

He is a talent with machinery isn’t he. Pretty sure I would have ballsed that up.

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 👍😊

Awesome!

Well done guy good job

What an amazing opportunity 👏 Like duck to water...On everything 👏

😂 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!

❤:o)

Hes a great bloke is guy, he is, great bloke he is he is.
