  1. I thought the ‘other’ U-2 incident was when they forced that album on us.

  2. I hope Mrs McEwan enjoyed her dinner without any further interruptions.

  3. As a British ex-serviceman myself, I completely agree with Ian.
    564
  4. Hopefully the Challenger III will retain the most important bit of kit, the Boiling Vessel.

  5. One of my late father’s wartime duties was guarding Italian POWs. He said that they were a great bunch of lads, very friendly and happy to be out of the combat zone.
    457
  6. When my father was in the Royal Sussex Regiment he was also issued with an American weapon, a Thompson SMG! (Complete with drum magazine). He never got to fire it but it looked impressive when guarding POWs.

  7. Should have dressed as Sean Connery in 'Zardoz' to test it!

  8. Thanks Ian for acknowledging our British pronunciation of 'carbine' at the top of the video.🇬🇧

  9. ‘Every man left behind’
    280
  10. In addition to George V changing the family name to Windsor, the Battenberg branch became the ‘Mountbattens’.
    209
  11. ‘A landlocked country with a dense population’. - Oh I don’t know, some of them are pretty intelligent. They do make some damn fine watches after all.
    185
  12. Joe DiGiovanni IV - Those are the sort of odds we like. See ‘Rorke’s Drift’, ‘Battle of Britain’ etc. 🇬🇧
    182
  13. Suitable for use on the school run?
    176
  14. My mum used to tell me that when we walked through a graveyard, “Dead people can’t hurt you, it’s the ones that are living that you’ve got to watch out for”.
    154
  15. Lenin.
    130
  16. I once really confused an American by saying “I could really murder a choccy digestive right now.” The poor guy didn’t understand at all.
    102
  17. Amusing fact: The US Navy ship which is trialling their version is called the USS Ponce. (I kid you not).
    82
  18. Monochromatic Lightsource - Don’t we all from time to time?
    76
  19. I expect demand will be high for Christmas. Shop early!
    75
  20. Expect to see the civvy version blocking the school gates whilst young Tarquin and Cressida are being dropped off soon.
    72
  21. Strange for a Cold War veteran like me to see the RAF operating out of what in my day was Soviet territory. When I served in the RAF during the 1980s this airfield would almost certainly have been on the list for an application of ‘Instant Sunshine’!
    60
  22. It’s not missing, we all know it’s in The Albert Hall.
    59
  23. I suggest pinning this comment.
    53
  24. As my ex-squaddie brother used to say, ‘Join the army and see Catterick’!
    53
  25. The spirit of Harry Enfield’s Grayson and Mr Chalmondely-Warner lives on!
    48
  26. I would recommend everyone visit the tank museum in Dorset and see this beast up close. A great day out.
    48
  27. Nice thought but I can’t see it becoming ‘the largest navy in the world’ somehow! For example the US Navy currently has 299 deployable combat vessels, compared with the Royal Navy’s 67.
    47
  28. 4.23: I’ve noticed that whenever documentaries use footage of ME-262s it’s always the prototype tail-sitter, as also used here. Why Is this?
    46
  29. I’m more impressed by those coloured smoke firework things!
    45
  30. You can always tell an Ajax crewman. (You just can’t tell him much).
    42
  31. kkeith 742 - Mine did (but it was by Airfix).
    38
  32. 0:12 - I must say I like the no-nonsense targeting system, a man tapping you on the shoulder, pointing and then saying “Target!”
    38
  33. I was really hoping that, seeing as it’s a British rifle, Ian would refer to it as a ‘Jungle car-BYNE’!😉
    34
  34. “Where did you get that howitzer?” “It came off the back of a lorry” 🚛
    34
  35.  @matthewneddeau7993  - In 1947 (the year of their wedding) Rolls-Royce was still British.
    33
  36. Looks great but perhaps a tad over-complex?
    32
  37. The monument was erected by the Soviets in what was then communist East Germany, very much under the thumb of their Soviet overlords.
    30
  38. P.O.W titbit: My father was responsible for guarding Italian POW work gangs on the Southern Railway. He struck up a good relationship with them and said that he found it difficult to see them as ‘the enemy’. Then one day he was given a group of German POWs to supervise, what a difference! He said he found them surly, arrogant and uncooperative, going on to say that he felt he couldn’t turn his back on them for a moment, and was glad to be carrying his trusty Thompson SMG!

  39. SirGraveson - I like them like I like my coffee: Black and very bitter.
    29
  40. Daniel457 - British sense of humour. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
    29
  41. I have a piece of the fuselage of a crashed B-25 Mitchell that I recovered from within a large hedge between two fields in the late 70s/early 80s. I have lent it to the local museum whenever they’ve done a WW2 exhibition.

  42. “Herr Nesbittmann, will you stand up please?”
    29
  43. Moist Owlette - I had a curry like that once!
    27
  44. The Arado AR-234 is one of my favourite aircraft. Such a shame there’s only one left.
    27
  45. Amazing aircraft that had a wingspan the same as a B-29 Superfortress!
    27
  46. ‘Strange Shotguns’ is a great name for a band.
    26
  47. Well done Biggles! Back home in time for tea and medals.
    26
  48. maverick357 - Shouldn’t that be ‘grammar police ARE on the way’? 👮‍♀️😉
    25
  49. I have a small fuselage section from a crashed B-25 Mitchell (complete with bullet holes) which I discovered in a thick hedgerow as a teenager in the early 1980s. I once lent it to my local museum when they did a WW2 exhibition.

  51. Love the hat!

  53. It wasn’t really tragic as the boy was an actor and wasn’t really killed! It’s quite a well-known public information film and features in full in the Danger UXB DVD box set.

    21
  59. ⁠ @EthanThomson - True, but read the original comment - First in EUROPE. I don’t think the AH-Cobra is of European origin.
    21
  60. The north remembers.
    21
  61. Exactly! Surely they could come up with something that either sees an avatar being duplicated, or a channel name being a WhatsApp number?

  62. Mr&Mrs Morrice - Was it difficult to import it?
    19
  63. Chris Stephens - We also invented the railway before the train!
    19
  64. I recall reading somewhere that some details of Amy Johnson’s final flight were sealed for 100 years as well. Particularly the identity of her passenger, her flight plan/mission and why she ended up in the Thames estuary when she was supposed to be heading for Oxford. How true any of that is I don’t know.
    19
  65. Always had a soft spot for the Il-28 ever since making an Airfix kit of one as a nipper. A sort of Soviet Canberra.

    19
  69.  @misterbig9025  - Mainly Italians (captured in North Africa), with whom he got on very well and found them friendly and happy to be out of the war. On occasion he guarded Germans whom he said he found surly, arrogant and felt he couldn’t trust them.
    19
  70. Watches this and wistfully remembers sitting on top of The Rock of Gibraltar, watching the Nimrods taking off below me. Happy days.

  72. Thus Spake Vespasian - They scare easily but they’ll be back, and in greater numbers.
    18
  73. Coming from a country where gun ownership is banned, I find this absolutely amazing. Those prices!
    18
  74. I always thought it was called ‘Operation Paraquat’ (the name of a weed killer) rather than ‘Operation Parakeet’ as mentioned in this video?
    18
  75. Karl von Eschenhof - An original joke by Stan Boardman, as told on the Des O’Connor Show.
    18
  76. Always had an admiration for the F-16, if it looks right, it IS right.
    18
  77. bluewaffle 45 - Read Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown’s account of flying one. He was the only allied pilot to do so.
    17
  78. Freestyle - You can wang all you like, but please do it in private!
    17
  79.  @Deadplayers-yb7xw  - I can assure you when my father was issued his Thompson in 1942 it most certainly DID have a drum mag. It also had the vertical foregrip as they were old ‘cast-offs’ sent by the yanks to the British for use by 2nd-Line troops. Incidentally you can see the exact same weapon configuration used by Pte Pike in some episodes of Dad’s Army, most notably the episode ‘The Germans’. (The featuring the immortal ‘Don’t tell him Pike!’ Line). That was indeed what sparked my late father’s memory of the weapon. There are MANY photos (and video footage) of British troops with the round-mag Thompson. (There is even a famous photo of Winston Churchill holding said weapon). I do NOT lie and suggest you check military history before making erroneous statements and false accusations. And by the way, I have absolutely NO IDEA what an ‘LA8’ is, and cannot find any reference to such a WW2 weapon. I suggest you’re making it up.

  90. My uncle had a Wel-bike.
    14
  91. Living as I do in a country where the ownership of handguns by private citizens is not allowed by law, I find videos like this hugely interesting and entertaining. Please keep them coming!👍
    14
  92.  @andyz.5431  - ‘He only burned down two villages’ - Oh well that’s alright then. (Slaps hand to forehead in disbelief)
    14
  93. Mark Turner - So did I. (Or perhaps that’s just the Lynx effect).
    14
  94. ‘Baltic Air Policing’ - When I was in the UK forces back in the eighties we used to call this ‘Ringing the alarm bell’. I.e. flying as close as possible to the Warsaw Pact border, either on a zig-zag course alternately heading towards, then away from the border or heading directly at it and then turning away at the last possible moment. All this would generate absolutely tons of elint, as well as providing some close-range recon.
    14
  95. 🇬🇧🤜🤛🇧🇬
    14
  96.  @toddgreve6587 - Oh yes there were quite a few, mostly prototypes though, although one other that saw service was the Heinkel He 162. It’s a fascinating subject to study.
    13
  97. Cool story.
    13
  98. There was an excellent BBC4 documentary about her a few months ago. Might be on the iPlayer. (Or look out for a repeat).
    13
  99. I’m in the UK and sold an item to an American on eBay. He paid by sending me a bunch of dollar bills in an envelope, which of course meant I had to pay a fee at the bank to convert them to Sterling, reducing my profit.
    13
  100. It’s a well known fact, confirmed by numerous interrogations of Argentinian POW’s, that many of the young conscripts were told they were going on exercise in the south of Argentina.
    13
  101. 1:10 - The Foc's'le is the forward deck of the ship. It derives its name from the days of sailing ships when the raised forward deck was known as the “forecastle.” Sound it Out: Break down the word 'forecastle' into its individual sounds "fohk" + "suhl". Say these sounds out loud, exaggerating them at first. Practice until you can consistently produce them clearly.
    13
  102.  @dougaltolan3017  - And it’s caused by Bill Gates and 5G!

  113. There’s a restored Shackleton on display at the Gatwick Aviation Museum. Ex-crew members give tours inside it. Well worth a visit.
    11
  114. I can’t believe that numpty said “It’s the military version of the Avro Lincoln”. The Avro Lincoln WAS a military aircraft!
    11
  115. Camera resolution nearly as good as my Nan’s 1982 Kodak Disc 4000.
    11
  116. My mistake. I misread that this was going to be a tour of ARGOS.

    10
  126. 1:48 - I’d ask for my money back on that telly if I were you lads, that picture’s FAR too blurry!
    10
  127. 0:06 - ‘19cm of vertical movement’ - That’s very precise! Who does such accurate measuring? (And where can I apply for the job?)
    10
  128. I’ve seen lots of uncrewed tanks in Ukraine, many of them unturretted too. 🇺🇦
    10
  129. Cowboy Animal - Well they haven’t really been secret for 60 years.

    8
  141.  @thecommissaruk  - Same here, I come from a British army family and have only recently heard it referred to as such. It’s always been the ‘letters’ as you describe.
    8

  145. Don’t forget to C-130 and the U-2.
    8
  146. As a nipper in the seventies I watched them drop into our local park during a show. After they landed I ran up to one and cheekily asked for his expended smoke canister as a souvenir. Can’t remember if he gave it to me or not though!
    8
  147. By way of balance, can we have ‘Russian Warriors’ on the Welsh border please?
    8

    8
  149. I remember RAF Akrotiri as being the place we used to broadcast the infamous ‘Lincolnshire Poacher’ Numbers Station to the Middle East from back in the day. I can still hear the lady’s very clipped RP tones: ‘Nine, five, eight’ etc.

    7
  161. ‘The Queen used this car between 1961 and 2002’ (Stated in the video). You would have seen one of the cars that replaced it, a Bentley state limousine.

  170.  @winstonchurchill586  - Yeah I forgot the British army runs on tea. Off for a brew now, cheers! ☕️ P.S. might even have a choccy digestive.
    7
  171. No that replaced the Sea King, being of a similar size. The Puma is smaller, so this may be a direct replacement.
    7
  172. In intelligence circles, RAF Akrotiri is famous as the place where the infamous ‘Lincolnshire Poacher’ numbers station was broadcast from to the Middle East.
    7

  180. OPM - Now you’ve mentioned that I can’t unsee it!

    6
  184.  @MattyB7  - No thank you.😇
    6

    6
  191.  @S4ngheli05 - An Anderson shelter was like a tin shed, half buried in the ground, and could accommodate a family, whilst a Morison shelter resembled a low metal table, was used exclusively indoors and could accommodate a couple and a small child.
    6
  192. Ref. The tommy gun with the drum mag and vertical foregrip: My Father was issued with one of these as a member of the Sussex Home Guard, as of course was Pte Pike up the stepladder when guarding the German U-Boat crew!
    6
  193. The official motto of the SAS (as displayed on their cap badge) is ‘Who dares wins’. (No ‘He’).

  210. Had to watch on mute as that so-called ‘music’ is SO annoying.
    6
  211. Ask an Argie!
    6
  212. General kenobi - Privet parts? You mean his hedge?
    6
  213. Forgotten Weapons - Thank you.
    5
  214. It’s currently being examined by top men. Top, men.
    5
  215. They look like starting pistols!
    5
  216. We've kidnapped Ian and are keeping him locked up in the Royal Armouries. Advance Britannia! 🇬🇧
    5
  217. Sadly not available at Amazon UK.
    5
  218. I remember the old advert: “What’s the best way to get to Buckingham Palace?” “In a Daimler saloon!”
    5
  219.  @sillyone52062  - That’s true. I’d love to see the Horten Ho 229 restored and on display.
    5
  220. There were drone aircraft in WW1. Google the Kettering and Sperry ‘Bugs’.
    5
  221. Arado Ar-234 titbit: A recon version of this aircraft conducted the last Luftwaffe operation over the U.K April 1945.
    5
  222. Unexpected SPANISH INQUISITION - Not quite. There are many in museums, but no powered flights since 1945. Although a replica glider has flown.
    5
  223. Howie Bouthat - ‘A Sherman gives you a nice edge’
    5
  224. Peter Kemp - Mark specifically mentions ‘air-to-air’ in the video.
    5
  225. Yeah he thought he was going to be given special treatment and even have a role in a post-war government! He never expected to be treated as a prisoner.
    5
  226. It’s a re-upload of an old video, updated for 2023.
    5
  227.  @vorynrosethorn903  - Intelligent comment. Thank you.
    5
  228. What a fascinating little story! Thank you Mark.
    5
  229. Indeed. This was the sad fate of famous teenage diarist Anne Frank.
    5
  230. Question for the historians: I’ve seen lots of photos of decorative pickelhauben, and lots of photos of apparently canvas-covered ones on the battlefield (both illustrated in this video). Are the battlefield ones plain in design underneath the canvas, or are they decorative with covers on?
    5
  231. Benny Benitez - Same here.
    5
  232. The British gliders were of wood construction, but the American Waco ‘Hadrian’ used an all-metal frame.
    5
  233. Planet Nine - That’s right, just as he explains in the video.
    5
  234. Tocsin Bang! I served in No.2 Group Sector Control in the early-mid eighties.
    5
  235. Herb Wag - I don’t think so. There were many cars touted around as such, and if you watch the video, he explains the history of this particular car.
    5
  236. Basically yes.
    5
  237.  @smacksman1  - Of course! I could quite confidently do the pointing bit, but am linguistically challenged when it comes to those languages.
    5
  238. You mean no more Bedford 4-tonners? Ah memories!
    5
  239. Saloon, estate, coupe and cabriolet.
    5
  240. 30 years ago this would have been the stuff of science fiction. Remember the scene in BTT2 when news drones appeared after Griff and his gang crashed their hover boards into the front of Courthouse Mall?
    5
  241. A slightly worrying ‘BEEEEEEEP!’ at 00:14, plus the flight engineer doesn’t look too confident at 00:40 - “Er, which button do I press?”
    5
  242. I remember it’s original appearance as the Arwen 37.
    5
  243. Looks great but can they get it in the shops for Christmas?
    5
  244. I didn’t think Saab still existed. Thought they had gone bust. Looks cool though. Just the thing for my next Norfolk Broads holiday!
    5
  245. halburd1 - The Muslim population of the U.K currently stands at 2%. Or to put it in simple terms: Take 100 random U.K people, and 98 of them will NOT be Muslim.
    5
  246. Er not quite: The BMP-1 entered service in 1966 following protracted development whereas the Scorpion entered service in 1973.
    5
  247. Mark Cooke - I’ve now woken up, gone to primary school, and learnt to spell the word They’re. (Sorry couldn’t resist).
    5
  248. Looks great. Can they get it in the shops for Christmas?
    5
  249. Because the Nimrod was around long before Airbus existed.
    5
  250. It’s only a light gun (105mm), most light guns don’t use them. Also it’s almost 50 years old and autoloaders for towed artillery weren’t around then.
    5
  251. Steve Freeland - We’ve had them since the 80’s. We used them in both Gulf wars.
    5
  252. Yak-35? No such aircraft.
    5
  253. No such place.
    5
  254. A bit difficult as there’s no such place! 🇫🇰
    5
  255. What happened to the video about the changing of the guard at Buck House?
    5
  256. Bang! And the dirt is gone.
    5
  257. I live in the U.K so the answer’s easy. NONE!
    4
  258. Thanks for repeating what Ian said just one minute into the video for those that missed it or are hard of hearing.
    4
  259.  @caeserromero3013 - Same here!
    4
  260. charlie zothana - My brother read those. I read ‘Battle’ and ‘Warlord’.
    4
  261. john smith - Martin’s a neighbour of mine and good friend, I’m sure he’ll have a good laugh when I show him this.
    4
  262. Got to admit that’s a clever idea. I’ve always had a soft spot for the AN-2, ‘The little plane that could’.
    4
  263.  @larsrons7937 - ‘died in May 2918’ - Wow! So she had her own ‘Thousand-year Reich’?😅

  264. Jacobs_Rifles - Set the controls for the heart of the sun ☀️
    4
  265. None of the cars in this video are German.
    4
  266. I found a piece from a crashed B-25 Mitchell in a hedgerow between two fields in the 1980’s. It’s on display in my living room, and I once lent it to my local museum when they did a WW2 exhibition.
    4
  267. Er, this video isn’t about the Tiger.
    4
  268. A B-25 with full bomb load crashed into a hill near me and exploded. I found a piece of it’s fuselage underneath a hedge in the late 70’s. It’s displayed in a cabinet in my living room.
    4
  269. X VSJ - Google the Kettering and Sperry bugs from WW1.
    4
  270. Matt Perrin - Do go if you can, it’s an amazing museum.
    4
  271. Ah yes, Pearl Harbor, where the yanks were taken completely by surprise by a global conflict that had been raging for over two years.
    4
  272. Now I want to visit the Iranian Auto Museum!
    4
  273. See the comment above yours. Seems it’s a myth. (Otherwise Felton would have covered it).
    4
  274. Cartoonman154 - Same here.
    4
  275. That would be the famous Pegasus Bridge.
    4
  276. The Arado Ar 234 is one of my favourite aircraft. An amazing machine.

    4
  286. Going? I think they’ve arrived by now, this was 20 years ago!
    4
  287. I love the little Italian tankettes, they look so cute!
    4
  288. James Burch - A BS conspiracy theory that first appeared in the 1980’s.
    4
  289. It’s not a functional gun, it’s a piece of pipe atop an old artillery tractor.
    4
  290. The late great Spike Milligan mentions his surprise at seeing a spitfire with American markings ditched on the beach at Saleno in one of his wartime autobiographies. I’ve seen a photo of that particular aircraft in another WW2 history book.
    4
  291. Step forward the Falkland Islands!
    4
  292. Featured at 1:48. Mark has done a video about that very subject, and there are NONE with the original symbol still intact.
    4
  293. Russian crews?
    4
  294. ‘To the victors go the spoils’
    4
  295. I thank that’s outside the scope of what Dr Felton covers.

  296. ‘You left bodies and you only moved the headstones. YOU ONLY MOVED THE HEADSTONES! WHY? WHYYYYYY?’
    4
  297. Neil Forbes - ‘Puttin on the Rittttttz!’
    4
  298. It certainly was, perhaps even more so, mine fields and tripwire-activated ‘cone guns’ on the fences. Look up ‘inner German Border’.
    4
  299.  @PiGood  - Congratulations! You are the 4,792nd person to make that very same comment! 👏🏅

  301.  @aldosigmann419  - Both great films!

    4
  303. When serving in the RAF during the 1980s I had the opportunity to spend a day at RAF Lakenheath. The yanks were really hospitable and it definitely felt like I was on American soil. I remember them introducing me to the soft drink ‘Mountain Doo’ (as they called it).
    4
  304. HA! HA! Driving into the car park barrier - what a bunch of laughable numpties! I think these idiots are more to be pitied than feared.
    4
  305. Alan Thomas - No, people are still being killed by ordnance from World War One, over a hundred years ago.
    4
  306. Haven’t we run out of countries to vanquish? I thought we’d done them all.🇬🇧
    4
  307.  @moetocafe  - Odessa is in Russia? Not according to my Times atlas of the world. I suggest you contact the publishers of atlases and correct them.
    4
  308. It’s fitted with a dead man’s handle. I take it you didn’t actually watch the video?
    4
  309. 1:16 - What’s the nose-down aircraft on the extreme right? Jaguar?
    4
  310. Ah yes the nightmare of the Noddy Suit overboots, memories!
    4
  311. Go away spammer. (Comment reported).
    4
  312. They have indeed got one at Bovington.
    4
  313. The reporter’s surname would certainly win in Scrabble, three Zs in one word! 💤
    4
  314.  @jjsmallpiece9234  - Er wrong I’m afraid. This from Wikipedia: ‘During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the Challenger 2 tanks suffered no tank losses to Iraqi fire.’ Also the heading photo on the Challenger II’s Wikipedia entry shows an example on operation in Basra, Iraq.
    4
  315. Got to love the Eurofighter. Great aircraft 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
    4
  316.  @gazs4731  - Er, this IS the Union flag!

    4
  326. Yep, that’s what it says in the video. Your powers of comprehension do you credit Sir!
    4
  327. ‘This vehicle has over 1200 users’ - How long do they each have to wait before getting a go on it?
    4
  328. Early prototype for mobile Sky TV?
    4
  329. I would like on converted to a cool motor yacht.
    4
  330. Nah, when it comes to works of fiction I prefer Harry Potter.
    4
  331. Come to where I live on the prosperous Surrey/Sussex border and they’re even worse!
    4
  332. Living in Sussex all my life I can confirm you are correct! We’re terrible.
    4
  333. Or worse, a replacement bus service.
    4
  334. I think it’s a fictional programme.
    4
  335. No he’s still there.

  336. No it's not, it's a LENS. You may find an English dictionary helpful. Look up the word 'LENS'. You'll be amazed!
    4
  337. # ‘Everyone’s a winner baby that’s the truth’ (Hot Chocolate).

  338. Yeah I saw one poor sap leave a comment on Supercar Blondie’s channel saying ‘Where’s my prize? I sent you the admin fee and have the screenshots to prove it.’
    3
  339. I was lucky enough to have a close-up inspection of one of these at The Imperial War Museum, Lambeth. (Well worth a visit by the way).

  340. Ravezta Youkailicker - Post-Brexit world!
    3
  341. MUCH modified, and made by HK.
    3
  342. largol33t1 - Well I don't know about that but it sounds plausible. The plastic became brittle in extreme temperatures.
    3
  343. Saw Martello tower in the thumbnail and instantly assumed you were in Kent or East Sussex!
    3
  344. Have you covered English punt guns yet?
    3
  345. Donald Sayers - Same here. I used to shoot .22 pistols at my local club.
    3
  346. I’m British and I’ve never heard of this. Thanks Ian.

    3
  357. Hakugard - Me too.
    3
  358. Slim Pickens - Like what? Genuine query, I come from a country where gun ownership is banned so don’t understand what you mean.
    3
  359. Shooting ghosts of course!
    3
  360. Rule Britannia! 🇬🇧
    3
  361.  @clarkmirkbell880  - Patreons get early access.

    3
  363. tubeTreasurer - If you’re having more than five tigers charging at you then you’re having a REALLY bad day!
    3
  364. Yep

  369. But probably the first generation that can’t spell the word ‘Heroes’.
    3
  370. Yes. My German exchange student was a guy called Helga.
    3
  371. Daniel Tennessee - Some cowboys TRIED to change the name of the islands in 1982, failed miserably. ☠️☠️☠️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇫🇰🇫🇰🇫🇰
    3
  372. More likely the latter, Israel never used the T-34 as a combat vehicle.
    3
  373. Pikes are not WW2 guns. Read the title of the video.
    3
  374. Possibly because he was still viewed at the time as an enemy combatant, despite his defection.
    3
  375. When I was in the R.O.C in the 80s were were given a tour of Lakenheath by the 48th tactical fighter wing, who flew F-111s at the time. Fascinating. I remember drinking ‘Mountain Doo’ (As they called it). It was just like being in America, even the street fire hydrants in the married quarters are were of the American ‘New York Dalek’ type so familiar to us from films.
    3
  376. little jimmy - You go to school in a hole? English classes optional I assume.
    3
  377. Axel Jäger - Several hundred children died on that ship.
    3
  378. No, the Queen’s car history is well-documented and she NEVER possessed any Renault. (Or indeed ANY foreign car).
    3
  379. I can’t believe the amount of dumb comments saying “What about this car? What about that car?” This eight-minute video is NOT an exhaustive history of every car owned by every member of the royal family, it’s a selection of retired cars, ALL of which are in the Sandringham Collection. Clearly Dr Felton visited the museum and decided to make a short video about SOME of the cars there.
    3
  380. That’s actually a child’s pedal car! (Built for William and Harry). (Although Charles did have a full-size Volante).
    3
  381. I’d like to see a video about the Dfs 346 swept-wing German rocket aircraft that was flown post-war by captured German pilots in the Soviet Union.

    3
  383. As mentioned in the video.
    3
  384. I want that as an alarm!
    3
  385. I knew about the Japanese ones but not these. I think that ‘wallet’ is awful by the way.
    3
  386. Indeed. I walked right around the Island about 40 years ago. Don’t think I could manage it now though!
    3
  387. No, let’s remember the police but forget the Nazis.
    3
  388. My mother stood in my grandmother’s garden and was transfixed as a German plane dropped a bomb which flew over their row of cottages before detonating in the field at the end of their road. The shock from the blast knocked all the plates off the dresser. (Mother and grandmother completely unharmed).
    3
  389. He’s already done one.
    3
  390. No, only in the west. (London Antwerp etc).

    3
  395. Bryce Eichelkraut - I am a very committed and somewhat militant atheist, a fully paid-up member of The British Secular Society. Which so-called ‘god’ would you like to help me? Mankind has invented so many of these imaginary beings over the years. Horus? Zeus? Mithras? Odin? Shiva? The Flying Spaghetti Monster?
    3
  396. Otis Platt - If the missiles were fired by another aircraft then yes. If they were ground launched then no.
    3
  397. I measured my CD collection in length rather than units, I.e I had eight metres of CDs.

  405. Not whole trains, but they did sometimes have private carriages.
    3
  406. My late father recalled witnessing an air raid on Ford Aerodrome (West Sussex) in which many of these were dropped.

    3
  412. North Korea still operates the Antonov AN-2 biplane!
    3
  413. I once tried to visit the forbidden city, but it wasn’t allowed.
    3
  414. No helicopter can lift 40 tons!
    3
  415. No. His death was quite an embarrassment for the Americans, and he was cremated quickly.
    3
  416. Mark Felton Productions - Oh thanks Mark. You are correct. I can’t believe I’ve been referring to it incorrectly for decades! (And I’m shamed to admit that I’m ex-UK forces myself!)
    3
  417.  @davidsummer8631 - I’ve heard he preferred ‘Dancing with tears in my eyes’.
    3
  418.  @S4ngheli05  - You’re very welcome 👍🇬🇧🤝🇩🇪
    3
  419. I can assure you that there are NO airworthy JU-87s.
    3
  420. 1.00 - ‘One step beyond that seemed an act of madness’. Nutty Boi!
    3
  421.  @rabbi120348  - 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸
    3
  422.  @rabbi120348  - As on my brother’s Queen’s Regiment cap badge!
    3
  423. Er no, she didn’t. That was Hitler’s previous girlfriend (and also Unity Mitford, who was infatuated with him). Mark has done a video about the earlier girlfriend who shot herself and it’s quite a fascinating, if tragic, story.
    3
  424. It’s not.
    3
  425. So the nazis, who systematically murdered six million innocent people, were not the real enemy? Riiiiight.
    3
  426. Yes, I’ve reported a few, and some have been taken down.
    3
  427. Kaitlynn Allen - Well spotted! I had to go back and check that!
    3
  428. Nah.
    3
  429. I live fairly close to Balcombe in Sussex and was unaware of that museum. Definitely going to pay a visit soon!
    3
  430.  @steveshoemaker6347 - Yes, in 1917 when King George V changed the family name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor in order to sound less German, the Battenbergs changed to Mountbatten.
    3
  431. Another fascinating real-life ‘lost gold’ story (although not on the same scale) is the tale of the 1933 double eagle.
    3
  432. Possibly seen as payback for the destruction of Coventry in 1940.
    3
  433. Yes, I was surprised to see that when I made a close inspection of the example in The Tank Museum, Bovington.
    3
  434. Literally.
    3
  435. Not too difficult if the hand wheel mechanism and its associated reduction gears are in good order.
    3
  436. Old Renault 35 turrets mounted on concrete Tobruks.
    3
  437. Yes, operated by KG-200.
    3

    3
  477.  @OctopusgamingYTw  - Just the one? But mankind has created THOUSANDS of ridiculous so-called ‘gods’! My particular favourite of these imaginary invisible magic things that live in the sky is Ganesha (a close second being one of the Japanese water gods). Also, where does one ‘find’ something that doesn’t exist and is merely a figment of deluded people’s imagination? 🤷‍♂️ Furthermore, YouTube rules dictate that comments should be ‘on topic’ and relevant to the subject of the video. As yours is plainly not it is a clear breach of YouTube rules so therefore I have taken the trouble to report it to YouTube.

    2
  511. Imaginary Dragon - Clearly we’re have to disagree if in your world a soldier pocketing an abandoned pistol in an abandoned factory is an equivalent ‘crime’ to a despot torturing and murdering thousands of innocent civilians. What a bizarre and twisted way of thinking! Goodbye.

  537. Correct.
    2
  538.  @Gameprojordan  - Correct.
    2
  539.  @moritamikamikara3879  - Unlikely. This one, being from WW1, would have been very obsolete by then.

    2
  554. Yeah I’m sure the police inside would love that!

    2
  582.  @アドルフヒトラ  - Which So-called ‘god’? Please be more specific. Mankind has invented so many of these ridiculous creatures. My particular favourite is Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Which one is yours? (Comment reported to YouTube for harassment by the way).
    2
  583. What? Not taken meds today?
    2
  584. 0:14 - I was lucky enough to visit that Tiger exhibition at Bovington when they had the Elefant over from America. It was fascinating to see almost all the Tiger variants next to each other in the same room.
    2
  585. It’s the one featured in this video, but it’s most definitely NOT running! (Google it).
    2

  599.  @MrMrliamo  - If you’re ever in West Sussex you’ll be more than welcome.
    2
  600.  @7000fps  - Yes I did actually. The piece is from one of two Dutch-crewed Mitchells that collided and exploded over a local hill on 8th June 1944 (The incident is well-documented and quite famous locally). As they both had a full bomb load on board the resultant large explosion scattered debris over a large area. In addition to the piece I found some 40 years ago people are still finding small pieces to this day (it’s a rural area and the hedgerow I found my piece in divides two fields). I honestly don’t understand why you disbelieve me but I would be more than happy to take a photo of it and send it to you (I keep it in a display cabinet with a few other curios that I’ve discovered over the years, such as clay pipes for example). Even better, come round to my house, call me a liar to my face and then I’ll show it to you personally. (That’s assuming you’re from the mother country 🇬🇧 and not from our many vanquished nations or forsaken former colonies).

  601.  @ogloc6308  - Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone: Chapter 2, Paragraph 12. “You’re a wizard Harry, said Hagrid”. See? I can also quote from children’s fiction. By the way, I’ve reported your comment to YouTube as spam because it has nothing to do with with the subject of the video, which is what the comment section is for, to make comments about the video, there are plenty of religious channels to make such comments on, why not try one of the many Islamic ones? Plus I have additionally reported it as offensive and insulting to me.

    2
  617. Interesting story (although quite a few obvious errors in it).😀👍
    2
  618.  @Sterlingjob  - ‘The Queen privately owns two properties’ - The Queen is sadly no longer in a position to own anything.
    2
  619.  @shakie6074  - Look up the BRITISH Daimler company, nothing to do whatsoever with Mercedes. I’m guessing you’re not British? Otherwise you would have known this. You stated ‘own nothing but German cars’, yet EVERY one of the cars in this video is British! 🇬🇧
    2
  620. On their return the young crew were christened ‘The Cabbage Patch Kids’.

  623. Can you do a similar video about the Pacific theatre? I think one of the aircraft involved was the rare B-32 Dominator.
    2
  624. The German stereo cameras of the time used by these aircraft produced excellent results.
    2

  626. ‘Very few wives uses’? - Lady pilots represent!

  676.  @treystephens6166  - Well done!👍 Have a medal -🥈
    2
  677. Congratulations! Can you name any other countries as a comment?
    2
  678. Scrapped or rusted away by now. DVLA says off the road by 1986.
    2
  679.  @ComfortsSpecter  - I just want to know what ‘Tack man’ means. I’ve never heard that expression OR seen those two words used together, despite having a university degree in English language (Cantab). I presume it’s some form of colonial colloquialism?
    2
  680. Tack man? What does that mean?
    2
  681. But you clearly don’t love her enough to be able to spell her name.
    2
  682. Sadly that will never happen as it’s engineless and missing a lot of other components. There is however a running King Tiger at the Musee des Blindes at Samur.
    2
  683. Locate your ‘Caps Lock’ button and lay off the emojis.
    2
  684. Oh I didn’t know about that incident. I will have to look it up.
    2
  685. He’s already done one.
    2
  686. No, this is a brand new video. He has said “Beating off stiff competition” before in several videos, as it’s a very common British expression.
    2
  687. That restored bunker looks amazing.
    2
  688. Ratmanpl_1 wotB - It’s all out there, I have several books with all this info in.
    2
  689. Guðmundur Ingi Guðmundsson - Huh? Are you sure you’re commenting on the right video?
    2
  690. Major Tom - Yes.
    2
  691. dickie Davies - I must find out more about that!
    2
  692. Look up Boeing B-52. Even older.
    2
  693. I thought that began when a bloke called Archie Duke killed an ostrich because he was hungry.
    2
  694. David77646 - No. No RAF aircraft were lost in air-to-air combat in either the Falklands or gulf wars, however a few were lost to ground fire.
    2
  695. Keith Lewis - FAA Sea Harriers AFAIK.
    2
  696. Norman Boyes - Bon appetite!
    2
  697. Eric Simmons - It’s a Borgward IV demolition vehicle. Well spotted!
    2
  698. Mark Felton Productions - Well said. (And very diplomatic). I would do the same.
    2
  699. So true. I heard that the Hitler Youth and other young Germans were often THE most fanatical Nazis, as they had known nothing else in their short lives, having their minds poisoned almost from birth.
    2
  700. No, aluminium is correct. It’s English, from England, the country that invented the language, subsequently butchered and simplified by colonials.🇬🇧 Good joke though.😀👍
    2
  701. I was unaware they had. When did that happen?
    2
  702. Ma Gr - Proof that you can’t spell ‘tale’?
    2
  703. Daniel Vedberg Sekulic - Video says they were unarmed so I don’t think so.
    2
  704. Alexei Sayle’s finest moment.
    2
  705.  @andysykes4328 - Yeah I’m calling BS on that too.
    2
  706. Except that he didn’t, and it wasn’t. He was indeed shooting at the tank, but then an aircraft appeared and bombed it. The scene was shot on the Leavesden backlot and can be seen in making-of documentaries.
    2
  707. Ant tanks? They must be tiny!
    2
  708. The strangest bit of military kit upcycling I’ve seen is the use of British 2” mortar tail fins on the end of Daleks’ weapons by the BBC in early Dr Who episodes. (Yes, really. Once you see them you can’t unsee them, a bit like noticing that one of Holly Willoughby’s eyes is lower than the other).
    2
  709. Culture Club fan?
    2
  710. Yes, precisely ZERO. (It’s a transport aircraft). How many lives has it SAVED in it’s role as a water-bomber?
    2
  711. Yep.
    2
  712. Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I would like to see more of that.
    2
  713.  @carsons5750  - You’re most welcome Carson. An amazing aircraft. A shame none survived.
    2
  714. 2:02 - Nancy sounds a bit needy.
    2
  715. We’re all working in the U.K. today. It’s not a holiday.
    2
  716. I’ve only just finished watching the excellent ‘Ice cold in Alex’ featuring the delectable Sylvia Syms as a military nurse.
    2
  717. It was witnessing the horrors of WW2 first-hand that turned my mother from a devout Christian to a life-long militant atheist, taking every opportunity to rail against religion and joining the British Secular Society. She subsequently raised her children to be militant atheists too.
    2
  718.  @howardsmith9342  - Yes there’s been a couple of documentaries about her, one by the BBC and another called ‘Enemy of the reich’ that’s available on DVD. The BBC one is a little more ‘hard-hitting’.
    2
  719.  @HollywoodMarine0351  - Paid.
    2
  720. Yes. I believe Mark’s done a video about them.
    2
  721. Dean Stuart - Hello fellow Obs! (Or should I say ‘Forewarned is forearmed’) from ex-No.2 Group HQ (and UKWMO Met Sector Control). Tocsin bang!
    2
  722. Dread Penguinlord - You want to avoid being grabbed by the morlocks. (It’s very painful!)
    2
  723. A dairy? Were the cows included? 🐄 I presume he shipped it back brick by brick.
    2
  724. Reminds me of the ersatz M10’s used by the German Greif Kommandos during the battle of the bulge that were really Panthers with sheet metal welded on.
    2
  725. An incredible feat, although later surpassed by the American B-2 raids as the longest.
    2
  726.  @ThatsMrMoronToYou  - Yes, Thank you so much for your help when we defeated the Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain in 1940🇬🇧 and stopped the Germans from invading us. Oh wait..., I forgot, the cowardly yanks did exactly the same as they did in WW1 by waiting to see which side was winning, before joining in on the winning side. Perhaps if we’d joined the Vietnam war we could have saved them from their humiliating defeat. RULE BRITANNIA!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
    2
  727. Yes, and in considerable numbers too, particular from WW1. Google ‘Iron Harvest’.
    2
  728. No, Mark is British so he pronounces British words the British way.
    2
  729. Orion TheGamingRaptor - I saw them in Vegas.
    2
  730. Watch the video to find out.
    2
  731. The USAF effectively ‘leased’ them from NASA.
    2
  732. mkelebay - Not really. I many countries around the world, USD have always been a good choice when hoarding cash 💵.
    2
  733. Sar Jim - True. The NASA RB-57s have been spotted operating out of Djibouti.
    2
  734. big daz - So did I. A fantastic display.
    2
  735. Yes, last in Texas I believe.
    2
  736. / / - That’s some party!
    2
  737. 3:53 - An old-time American narrator using metres? Wonders will never cease!
    2
  738.  @howellstevens9622  - ‘Don’t you shout at me Mr Warwick!’
    2
  739. This has made me want to watch that film again!
    2
  740. Scrub - No. they’re digging anti-tank ditches fo the Berlin defences. The footage matches the narrative.
    2
  741.  @GNMi79  - Mark Feldman? I must have missed his contribution to the video!
    2
  742. I like them, but they’re a bit too much to eat in one sitting.
    2
  743. It’s ‘Boo-kay’ 😉
    2
  744. For more related to this, seek out the excellent film ‘The Last Emperor’ by Bernardo Bertolucci. I can highly recommend it.
    2
  745. Except the British.🇬🇧
    2
  746.  @Tom_Cruise_Missile  - Er, Kaiser Wilhelm was King George V’s cousin. (As was Tsar Nicolas II). European monarchy is basically just one big family.
    2
  747. And of course all Victoria Crosses are made from the same Russian cannon captured during the Crimean War.🇬🇧
    2
  748. What a fascinating little story. Just the thing to take my mind off all the nonsense in London today.
    2
  749. A great series of books which I often re-read. I was lucky enough to meet Spike at the launch of the last volume (‘Peace Work’) and get him to sign my copy. I asked him if he was planning another one and he replied “Give me a bloody chance I’ve only just finished writing this one!”
    2
  750. xO SPITFIRE Ox - Scraped against what? Or was someone scraping something against them? We’ll never know.
    2
  751. GulagPenguin - Everyone knows where it is, so no search required. Plus I think he’s already done a video on it.
    2
  752.  @MrSloika - ‘Lead paint: Delicious but deadly’
    2
  753. Militracks event at the Overloon museum in the Netherlands.
    2
  754.  historicmilitaria1944 - I should that’s pretty unlikely, unless of course you’re referring to the Wheatcroft collection.
    2
  755. I am surprised Mark didn’t mention that in the video, considering how well-researched and comprehensive his videos are. Can you provide some more details please?
    2
  756. No helicopter can lift 40 tons!
    2
  757. No helicopter can lift 40 tons!
    2
  758. Yes. Every SS stormtrooper had the words ‘Gott mit uns’ (God’s with us) engraved on his belt buckle. Hitler and other top Nazis believed they were doing ‘God’s work’ and have been quoted as saying so. So BOTH sides believed they had the Christian god on their side, as is so often the case.
    2
  759. Just an urban legend I’m afraid. There was no death mask taken of Goering, and there is no ‘room 101’ at Scotland Yard.
    2
  760. ‘Now is not the time Kato!’
    2
  761. Waves across the Atlantic from West Sussex 🇬🇧 👋 🇺🇸
    2
  762. *Ardennes.
    2
  763. I remember the ‘Danger UXB’ episode featuring these, ‘Sixteen Seconds To Glory’. Great series.
    2
  764. The local news channels covered the story.
    2
  765. EVERYTHING went into the ocean. I’ve seen videos of all sorts of military kit being dumped off the sides of ships post-war, from bullets to battle tanks. (And everything in between, including rather nasty chemical shells and bombs which cause problems when they wash up).
    2
  766. Well in my U.K passport it states that I am a ‘British Citizen’.🇬🇧
    2
  767. Apocryphal titbit: I read that when Petacci’s body was being prepared to be strung up by the ankles it was discovered that she wasn’t wearing any knickers, so a belt was fastened tightly around her skirt to preserve her modesty. You can see the belt around her knees in photos of the scene.
    2
  768. Yeah I thought so too.
    2
  769. We all do!
    2
  770. There is a paintballing one you can buy or hire.
    2
  771. Check out the Kettering and Sperry R/C planes from WW1.
    2
  772. That’s a Stan Bordman joke from the 1970s.
    2
  773. John Knapp - Google the motto of the Boy Scouts.
    2
  774. Airsoft Review Argentina - No. Google ‘British Antarctic Territory’.
    2
  775. Don Felipe - Battle of Mirbat would make a great subject!
    2
  776. krieg9 - Obviously not. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 🇫🇰
    2
  777. C Morales - Mass panic followed by false memory syndrome.
    2
  778. HORRYWOOD!!
    2
  779. Same here!
    2
  780. His videos are increasingly attracting Nazi comments, including vile anti-Semitic ones.
    2
  781. I believe that was Hitler’s previous girlfriend.
    2
  782. Yes, there a quite a few, not just in Germany but in Austria too: Vienna/Wien.
    2
  783. They must be VERY old!
    2
  784. Interesting, thank you.
    2
  785. ‘They have sown the wind, they shall reap the whirlwind’
    2
  786. The Soviets never went anywhere near there.
    2
  787. Yes just like Coventry several years before.
    2
  788. 👍 🇵🇸
    2
  789. Why the bizarre use of capital letters at the beginning of every word? Weird.
    2
  790. Shrapnel?
    2
  791. Yes.
    2
  792. Indeed, there’s been a few interesting TV documentaries about the subject, they’ll keep turning up for many years to come.
    2
  793. Well of course they wouldn’t have been official, (if such things ever existed). can you imagine the international uproar that would result?
    2
  794. What?
    2
  795. How well did Mark Felton know you grandparents?
    2
  796. Wow. Creepy.
    2
  797. Thank you for repeating what the entire video is about for those that missed it.
    2
  798. Most Americans have no idea what communism is (or rather was).
    2
  799. Harsh Wardhan - He’s already done one, called ‘King tiger’s last stand: Berlin 1945’.
    2
  800. Charles Farmer - LOL! I must admit it DOES look like little feet poking out the bottom!
    2
  801. EdMcF1 - Correct. The same was true of Himmler’s recently-deceased daughter.
    2
  802. *Advice.
    2
  803. Earlier in the war, nuisance raids by single aircraft were quite common in my neck of the woods (West Sussex) causing quite a bit of damage and several casualties. My mother had a VERY close call with one of these.
    2
  804. One in Samur, France.
    2
  805. Gaming sentry - Where’s that?
    2
  806.  @augustolobo2280 - The warhead was detached and the craft scooted away. There’s plenty of information about these available online. Quite fascinating!
    2
  807. Tony Money - No. none at all. It’s a work of fiction.
    2
  808.  @user-rv8wb1nl1b  - That’s a Swedish car isn’t it?
    2
  809. vi si - Madeleine Trench?
    2
  810. James Tepera - It’s FRONK-EN-STEEN!
    2
  811. James Smith - Who is waiting for evidence of what?
    2
  812. Interesting story but highly unlikely. Check out the film ‘The Wind Rises’ about the development of the Zero. (It’s rather good).
    2
  813. And Nazis. I’ve lost count of the number of comments like ‘WW2 was started by the international banks’ etc that I’ve reported.
    2
  814. Great plane.
    2
  815. Read-up on the 1944 ‘Little Blitz’. (And then came the V1s and V2s).
    2
  816. My late mother stood transfixed in her garden as she watched a German plane drop a bomb which flew over her cottage and then exploded in the field at the end of her road. She said it was the loudest noise she’d ever heard and the ground shock knocked all the plates off the kitchen dresser.
    2
  817. Currently being repeated on the Talking Pictures channel in the UK. Great series.
    2
  818. No troop-carrying capacity whatsoever.
    2
  819. I’ve reported several for misinformation and hate speech and managed to get a few removed.
    2
  820. No that was the Focke-Achgelis Fa 61 twin-rotor helicopter. A very well documented demonstration flight. Google her for more details.
    2
  821. Of course we all know that the other is in the Albert Hall.
    2
  822. No, that was period-correct French camo at the Musee de Blinds in Samur.
    2
  823. The example at 1:40 is in The Tank Museum, Bovington. Well worth a visit!
    2
  824.  @timengineman2nd714  - You’re probably right. Where can I get translation goggles by the way? (Sorry, saw your spelling error and couldn’t resist, I’m in a funny mood 😊)
    2
  825. So what?
    2
  826. Robert Northrup - Wow! Someone needs their dosage increased.
    2
  827. Parking shunt at Tescos.
    2
  828. Great film.
    2
  829.  @walterkronkitesleftshoe6684  - Absolutely. Here in the U.K the railway system still uses chains, and railway bridges are marked as being ‘X miles X chains’ from London, which I think is quite quaint. Similarly I don’t know of any other country that still uses stones as a measure of a person’s weight.
    2
  830. No that would have been the ‘jumping mine’ that exploded at crotch height. The Schumine wouldn’t have been able to do that. (Unless you picked it up and pressed it against your crotch, which would have been a VERY silly thing to do).
    2
  831. Getting fewer now due to rust, but they still occasionally wash up on U.K beaches (particularly after storms) and have to be defused by the Royal Navy.
    2
  832. Tiring to see Nazis portrayed as villains? Really?
    2
  833. The last two Mark Felton videos have featured a disturbingly high number of Nazi sympathiser and thinly-veiled anti-Semitic comments. I have reported dozens to YouTube for hate speech. If you’re reading this Dr Felton may I suggest turning comments off in future videos featuring Nazi architecture etc?
    2
  834. ‘Ribbon drops’ - LOL!
    2
  835. The truth can always be found following the words ‘Kremlin denies’.
    2
  836. Yes, they did.
    2
  837. No, definitely Churchill. Much footage exists.
    2
  838. She seems so ‘peppy’. (Pretty too).
    2
  839. ANY kind? The X-15 would like a word!
    2
  840. *Hussars
    2
  841. Yes, I remember the ones operated by SPANTAX at Gatwick in the 1980s. Rare birds then.
    2
  842. No. That was a Fairchild C-123 Provider.
    2
  843.  @lawrenceparker2315 - I regularly encounter those, I even get them trying to ‘educate’ me.
    2
  844. Proud to be a blasphemer!
    2
  845. Nope, all done by Airlink now.
    2
  846. Yes but it’s slow and patchy. Big improvements planned for 2022.
    2
  847. Crime is almost unknown. Everyone leaves their doors and cars unlocked.
    2
  848. I heard they’re 100% Covid-free.
    2
  849. Plenty of Chinese people have visited, and there are a few Chinese locals.
    2
  850. You need to carry substantial medical insurance to cover the cost of repatriation to the U.K if you fall seriously ill.
    2
  851.  @jamalfranklin3807  - Really? More on that please. I thought it was British.
    2
  852. No. 100% British and proud of it! 🇬🇧
    2
  853. Yes they do, although patchy and slow. Big improvements planned for 2022.
    2
  854. Yes, there is a full cell phone service on the island.
    2
  855.  @edwardjackson1220  - Very well said Sir!
    2
  856.  @chloegb2682  - My point exactly! Bi means two. ‘Bicycle’ = two-wheeled cycle. ‘Bike’ = derivative of bicycle. Ergo the exact literal meaning of ‘quad bike’ is ‘ Four-wheeled two-wheeled cycle’!
    2
  857.  @chloegb2682  - It’s just the way my twisted mind works. Like why are quad bikes called that when ‘Bike’ (bicycle) means two wheels?
    2
  858. “Ullo John got a new mortar?”
    2
  859. I never realised the S6 was that old!
    2
  860. Indeed. I still have my aunt’s gas mask which was issued to all British citizens back then. It’s frighteningly primitive!
    2
  861. Basically yes.
    2
  862.  @mischa1880  - Don’t forget Japan. 🇯🇵
    2
  863. I remember a documentary about an American guy who’s got one of these and drives it around his estate.
    2
  864. I just posted a similar comment then saw yours. Memories!
    2
  865. WHAT British trucks?
    2
  866. All of that band’s equipment should easily fit in the back. (‘I really love those tiger feet’)
    2
  867. Tacticalshadow04 Tacticalshadow04 - Because they were allowed to be there under the Mallin agreement.
    2
  868.  @derricklanders4479  - We do.😏🇬🇧
    2
  869. No. Listen to what the guy says at 0:20. It bears a slight similarity to a previous vehicle.
    2
  870. will16320 - A nice touch!
    2
  871.  @choughed3072  - Oh wow I just noticed that. Weird!
    2
  872. A fascinating ‘pause for fort’.
    2
  873. ‘Hole’ army. 😆 Sappers? Pioneer Corps?
    2
  874.  @TT-hd3zi  - Thanks for the info. ✈️
    2
  875. We all float down here.
    2
  876. The Tower of London.
    2
  877.  @m4a1z1  - Er, at the moment your best bet is probably in the factory that makes them. I’m sure you will see them there.
    2
  878. Incredible!
    2
  879.  @timmynator2002  - Made In Leonardo UK’s factory in Yeovil.
    2
  880. 8:58 - Aircraft type please. Looks like a Saab Drakken to me but I’m happy to be proved wrong.
    2
  881. Aaron Seet - Yep. That is indeed footage from the beginning of the film ‘Memphis Belle’.
    2
  882. Tom Burton - Yep. Well spotted.
    2
  883. Myriaddsystems - She also said ‘Aircrews’. Rather than the correct plural ‘Aircrew’.
    2
  884. Yay! Go Biggles!
    2
  885. @Rob Wilton - Oh? What Air Force is he from? I’m intrigued as he’s clearly wearing RAF insignia.
    2
  886. Er no. Only ONE aircraft was featured, the Sukhoi SU-22M4, which clearly features a nose air intake, as do all members of the ‘Fitter’ family, from the SU-7 onwards. It’s their distinguishing feature.
    2
  887.  @pincermovement72  - Many nations are developing this. China also has a ship equipped with a prototype version.
    2
  888.  @Les1986-x5t  - No I haven’t thank goodness! (Nor would I ever wish to be). Thank you for your constructive on-topic reply. Have a day filled with joy and laughter.😆
    2
  889. Access would be difficult as it’s in the restricted buffer zone.
    2
  890. Benjamin Bartholomew - So THAT’S what Gary Powers was doing over Russia all those years ago!
    2
  891.  @Orbital_Inclination - Exactly!
    2
  892.  @williamzk9083  - I still don’t think the Cobra is a European helicopter though, I’m fairly sure it’s American in origin. (Refer to the ORIGINAL comment).
    2
  893. 2:38 - Any idea where that was filmed?
    2
  894. 2:56 - Briony love, the plural of craft is ‘CRAFT’, as the officer just said.
    2
  895. Clips on Clips - I’d like to see you attempting to kill someone with this thing! I suppose you could repeatedly hit them over the head with it.
    2
  896. fuckfannyfiddlefart - I’ll keep an ear open for the ‘ruling elite’ yelling then. I should be able to hear them from Sussex.
    2
  897.  @weaves1962  - On the Bessbrook - Bandit Country Express!
    2
  898. They use harsh language.
    2
  899. John Fraser - Oh well. Looks like we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. Shame I’m not a betting man! Peace.
    2
  900. Leclerc tanks and SP guns in Cyprus? When was that? I tried googling but could find no information whatsoever.
    2
  901. It’s an optional extra.
    2
  902. Isn’t that a brand of matches?
    2
  903. All very good but can they get it into the shops in time for Christmas?🎄
    2
  904. Er, I think you may have intended that comment for another video.
    2
  905. Plan coped? Could you translate that into English please?
    2
  906. Didn’t watch the video then?
    2

  915. Yeah I saw that and thought ‘Huh?’

  916. The plane featured in this video is NOT the one that got blown up (the AN-225 Mirya). This is an AN-124. You can tell because of it’s four engines, The AN-225 had six.

  955.  @OneTwoMark  - So you’re say the DRIVER was ‘willing to die’ and locked HIMSELF in the car? Yes, that would indeed be a sacrifice in the dictionary definition of the word, but rather moot as that’s clearly not what happened.
    1
  956. Nobody sacrificed themselves. The only fatality was the bomber.

  957. Ian Johnson - Absolutely!

  958. Ian Johnson - The Mig-27 was the dedicated ground-attack variant of the Mig-23. It had very limited air-to-air capabilities as it lacked a radar.

    1
  1067. Would have been nice to include an illustration of said rifle, even briefly. So it’s a dislike from me. 👎

  1068. My late father was issued with a Thompson (vertical fore grip & 50-round circular magazine) when he was in the Home Guard (Royal Sussex Regiment) during WW2. My older brother was issued with a Sterling SMG in the 70's. I have a photo of him with it guarding a visit to Stratford-Upon-Avon by the Queen.

  1073. I looked for the video where Deviant visits the taser factory but couldn’t find it. Anyone care to post a link?
    1
  1074. I remember this from the infamous Raoul Moat incident. The guy was lying on wet ground and was himself soaked with rain when the police shot him with this and it had absolutely no effect whatsoever. People said the wet conditions affected it’s performance. I don’t know if that’s true.
    1
  1075. Losos - I was thinking the same thing.

  1076. For those interested in ‘Khyber Pass’ gunsmiths, Michael Palin visited one in episode one of his ‘Himalaya’ series. Fascinating.
    1
  1077.  @Billy_Bad_Ass  - Not really. ‘Commonwealth’ is one word, and this piece dates from before the creation of the British Commonwealth.

    1
  1085. I've seen that one too
    1
  1086. Larry & Kathy Loper - No because the rear end of the barrel insert is shaped like a.762 round to fit snugly in the chamber.
    1
  1087. My late father was issued with one of these when he was a member of the Home Guard.
    1
  1088. Can we do this in the U.K please? 🇬🇧
    1
  1089. Like most Brits, I have never actually fired a gun. Would this be a good one to start with?
    1
  1090. Strip the paint off, brass or copper plate it for the ultimate steampunk weapon!
    1
  1091. It would have to be Boozer as all jet aircraft have 2-syllable code names. (Single-syllable denotes a propeller aircraft). Good idea though!👍
    1
  1092. Unlikely as they’re very rare and were withdrawn from general circulation in 1890. After that date they could only be obtained from dealers of rare coins. Like the rest of us you probably had lots of single florins which were in general circulation for decades.
    1
  1093. I’ve note heard of a silver note before, silver coins yes, but definitely not notes. It must have been worth an awful lot of money!
    1
  1094. It was a great time, went to some of the best gigs in London back then.
    1
  1095. Dewey decimal, not ‘duodecimal’.
    1
  1096. A sovereign has a face value of £1.00. (But is made of solid gold with a value of about £400.00).
    1
  1097.  @afrules9097  - They’re made of gold.
    1
  1098. Indeed. Last year I bought a coin set from the year I was born (1965).
    1
  1099.  @TheRealBatCave  - Unlikely, all our displayed prices have always included tax. A lot of our prices end in ‘95’ so I guess if 1ps and 2ps WERE to be scrapped then retailers would go down this route but who knows?
    1
  1100.  @TheRealBatCave  - Well I can see 1 and 2p coins being phased-out altogether in the next few years. Although that would see the end of prices ending in ‘99’.
    1
  1101.  @TheRealBatCave  - Nope, definitely 1947. (I’m quite a keen collector). We also had the same problem with the copper in our coins being worth more than the coins themselves, so now most of ours are made of steel, the ‘copper’ ones just having a light copper coating.
    1
  1102. ‘Silver’ coins in the U.K were just that until 1947 - 98% silver. From 1948 on they were cupro-nickel.
    1
  1103. They’re made from cupro-nickel.
    1
  1104. No.
    1
  1105. The exact same design is on the back of the 2023 50p.
    1
  1106.  @francisbarlow9904  - Thanks for the info. So I could (in theory) pay for something with a Guinea coin?
    1
  1107. A sovereign has a ‘face value’ of £1.00. Not sure about guineas though.
    1
  1108. Yes.
    1
  1109.  @vincentadams9569  - No worries. I’m just a keen collector, and your comment contains so much information that is incorrect it prompted me to fish out my example for a closer look.👍
    1
  1110. Further to my earlier reply I’ve just checked my mint 1890 example and the inscriptions on the ‘Head’ side read: VICTORIA DEI GRATIA and on the ‘Tail’ side the read: FID: DEF: BRITT: REG:
    1
  1111. No you don’t because A: The double florin was only produced from 1887 - 1890, B: No UK coin has ever had the words ‘HRM EMPRESS QUEEN VICTORIA’ on it (All inscriptions on UK coins are in Latin) and C: There is no such title as ‘HRM’.
    1
  1112. No, because Scottish and Irish Banks issue their own currency. (Bank of Scotland etc).
    1
  1113. Google?
    1
  1114. That’s correct, although the Royal Mint confused the issue by minting crowns with a face value of £5.00 from 1990 onwards.
    1
  1115. Why would we need to change to the Euro when we’re not in Europe?
    1
  1116. *Ha’pennies and farthings.

  1117. Australia still is a member of the British Commonwealth!
    1
  1118. I have an 1890 double florin in absolutely mint (pardon the pun) condition, impressively chunky and weighty. I also have a wristwatch made from a 1949 half-crown.
    1
  1119. Who?
    1
  1120. Yes.
    1
  1121. There certainly were here in West Sussex! For nostalgia’sake I saved a few shillings and florins just before they were withdrawn in the early nineties.
    1
  1122. Yes, pre-1990 crowns are worth 25p, post-1990 £5.00.
    1
  1123. No because Israel didn’t exist until 1948!

  1133. Rather strangely I got an advertisement for The Girl Guides pop up during the video. Not the sort of organisation I was thinking of whilst watching!
    1
  1134. Because it is! - Ground floor, then first floor, then second floor. Easy! I can never understand why colonials call the ground floor the ‘first floor’. Weird.
    1
  1135. Yellow Pages.
    1
  1136. The film ‘Ice Cold in Alex’, set in WW2, features Germans in M3 half-tracks, Centurion tanks in the background, and a Land Rover at the end. 1968’s Battle of Britain’ also features Germans in M3s, plus they’re also in post-war GMC 6x6 trucks, and using the distinctive quad-mount M2 .50 cal machine guns.
    1
  1137. Mark has done a video about those. (And very good it is too!)

    1
  1145. etR - Yes, the V-1 was indeed a cruise missile.
    1
  1146. Joe Bens - Yes, the 2-stage A-10.
    1
  1147. I guess it’s aimed at an American audience because he also spells ‘Licence’ the American way.

  1148. Christopher Ellis - Views from the top are amazing.

  1152. Well we will have to wait for the next part!
    1
  1153. We use both terms.🇬🇧
    1
  1154. They already have one and they’ve done a video about it.
    1
  1155. I’ve just checked and can confirm that the gate guard outside The Armour Centre, Bovington, is an ex-British Army Chieftain. I thought it would be odd to display not only a rare tank, but a foreign one never operated by the unit/organisation or base that it’s representing. Gate guardians (aircraft and vehicles) are always linked to the base they’re outside, having previously been operated by units at that base.
    1
  1156. Er I don’t think that’s a a Ram, being so ultra-rare. I will take a look.
    1
  1157. It was in need of a bit of body filler.
    1
  1158. Watch the video for the answer.
    1
  1159. We don’t celebrate thanksgiving in the U.K. 🇬🇧
    1
  1160. Not really. I think things like The Amber Room (for example) are a greater prize.
    1
  1161. I thought that series finished years ago?
    1
  1162. Watch the video for the answer.
    1
  1163. My grandmother so desperately wanted to be a ferry pilot👩‍✈️, but try as she might she could never get her ship ⛴ to lift off from the water’s surface. She was a very silly person.
    1
  1164. I think he’s already done one.
    1
  1165. ‘The World At War’ was an ITV production. (Probably the last decent documentary series they made!)
    1
  1166. Storage? Like in a garage?
    1
  1167. ‘The World At War’ was an ITV production. (Probably the last decent documentary series they made!)
    1
  1168. What?
    1
  1169. Will be great if they can do it! Thanks for letting us know, I’ll follow their progress with interest.
    1
  1170. No, that was seven-eight years before, and was not a BBC production. (ITV).
    1
  1171. There’s a photo of a bomb-damaged Big Ben in this very video.
    1
  1172. Advertising hoarding.
    1
  1173. Interesting. I’ve never heard of Lancs towing gliders before, only Halifaxes.
    1
  1174. We used to joke that BOAC was short for Boeing Only Air Craft!
    1
  1175. That was indeed one of the nicknames for this aircraft type. Not of an individual aircraft.
    1
  1176. Lots of people in the bunker pleaded with her to take them to west, but she said she didn’t want them to live in a world without National socialism.
    1
  1177.  @bethhentges  - Yes, that’s what the game is known as in the USA. However like many many Americanisms it’s use is becoming more prevalent on this side of the Atlantic.
    1
  1178. Patience. It’s a card game, you can see her playing it in the film ‘Downfall’.
    1
  1179. The sort of people that make you realise there is no god. Every SS member wore a belt buckle inscribed with ‘Gott mit uns’ (God’s with us) and many senior Nazis, including Hitler himself, were Christians and claimed they were doing ‘God’s work’.
    1
  1180. Watch the film ‘Downfall’.
    1
  1181. I don’t think ‘respect’ is quite the right word here.
    1
  1182. Who? Googled the name but no results.
    1
  1183. Watch the video for the answer.
    1
  1184. Tommi Mykkanen - Because Hermes didn’t have any guns. It was an aircraft carrier.
    1
  1185. Bill Percy - They did those things as well.
    1
  1186. Led Zeppelin were 100% British 🇬🇧
    1
  1187. Millions? I think not!😂
    1
  1188. By staying out of range, and by not operating during wartime.
    1
  1189. Not quite: Lindbergh’s flight was in 1927, DELAG commenced transatlantic services the following year.
    1
  1190. It’s covered in this video. It’s the observation capsule suspended from the airship.
    1
  1191. Lady Grace Drummond-Hay aboard the Graf Zeppelin.
    1
  1192. That’s correct.
    1
  1193. No, there were no Zeppelin flights over the UK mainland then. The only flights are the offshore ones documented in this video.
    1
  1194. ‘I did not hit her. I did nawwwtt.’
    1
  1195. Doesn’t look like it.
    1
  1196. 5:46 - The American rocket jeep can be seen in action in the Ed Wood film ‘Plan Nine from Outer Space’.
    1
  1197. Really? I’m guessing that as the SS ceased to exist eighty years ago these ‘high ranking Waffen SS personnel’ must be pretty old by now!
    1
  1198. It looks very ‘scraped’! (I presume you mean SCRAPPED?)
    1
  1199.  @brittakriep2938  Sorry I thought the video was about WW2 guns that are still in active frontline service with regular troops, (listen to Dr Felton’s exclusions), not every single type of weapon that has ever existed in the history of mankind, that may be in use in a ceremonial role with non-regular/non-military organisations. My mistake.
    1
  1200. Where is It still in military service?
    1
  1201. No they don’t. They do however have the sole running Tiger 2.
    1
  1202. WOOF!
    1
  1203. No, the Kentucky one is a replica. Plenty of info about it online.
    1
  1204. I’d not heard of this museum so had a look at their website - Looks great!
    1
  1205. None. Hypothetical question, they could only ‘fight’ with each other (if 80 year-old ammunition were available) as there’s been so many advances in 80 years.
    1
  1206. No.
    1
  1207. I believe he’s already done a video on the largest/heaviest tank to see service in WW2, the Char 2c.
    1
  1208. Well ‘Panzer’ is just the German word for ‘Tank’.
    1
  1209. I’ve not heard that before. More info? Sources? Plus what engines did they use? (Thinking about it logically however, it seems VERY unlikely).
    1
  1210. Spammer. Reported to YouTube.
    1
  1211. Cup of piping hot milky tea (2 sugars) and 2 McVitie’s milk chocolate digestives for me please!
    1
  1212. Really? I’ve been unable to find any evidence of that. Can you possibly point to a website with more information?
    1
  1213. The same could also be said of the Royal Navy’s HMS Victory.
    1
  1214. Messerschmitt Bölkow - Not exactly, but we do wear poppies every November 11th. Google ‘Remembrance Sunday’ for details.
    1
  1215. No, he references his previous similar video (about a Tiger 1) at the beginning of this video.
    1
  1216. Subhan T - Well IS-3s were definitely there at the time so it’s a possibility.
    1
  1217. Halo mannen - No.
    1
  1218. 20mm would not be enough for tanks, hence Panzerfaust.
    1
  1219. My favourite NASA aircraft are their B-57s.
    1
  1220. Not knowing what an ‘ine’ is I can’t tell whether it’s nice or not!
    1
  1221. No it was a similar gun concealed in a bicycle pump. Not real but a prop designed for the film.
    1
  1222. My uncle had a Welbike.
    1
  1223. Yep, lots of comments mentioning the same thing.
    1
  1224. Not on this channel.
    1
  1225. Trousers 👖
    1
  1226. There are plenty on his channel.
    1
  1227. No.
    1
  1228. Who?
    1
  1229.  @marcusgibson3899 - It’s a French film! (With a mostly French cast).
    1
  1230. Here in the UK it’s often shown on the minor TV channels in the afternoon.
    1
  1231. There was a movie version? I must admit I’m only familiar with the TV series (which was excellent). Thanks, I’ll definitely check it out!
    1
  1232. Gifts.
    1
  1233. Anybody know the station at 7:21 with the disused platform on the right?
    1
  1234.  @mrsupremegascon  - Oh right, thanks. As you were talking about her specifically in the present tense I assumed you hadn’t heard the news.
    1
  1235.  @VASNothing  - I’m very much afraid she isn’t anything anymore. You may wish to tune into a news channel. (But be prepared for some bad news).
    1
  1236.  @mrsupremegascon  - ‘She has far less power’ That is true, corpses generally don’t have much power.
    1
  1237.  @mrsupremegascon  - ​ - Hate to break it to you but she isn’t head of ANYTHING any more.
    1
  1238.  @VASNothing  - Hate to break it to you but she doesn’t have ANY role. (Apart from being worm food).
    1
  1239. Live at Wembley Stadium was the highlight of their 1986 world tour.
    1
  1240. I don’t think he’s still with us.
    1
  1241. That would have been one of the older ones, not the one featured in this video. (In fact the NRM has TWO previous versions).
    1
  1242.  @visionist7  ever been in or even near a car?
    1
  1243. Yanks.
    1
  1244. No.
    1
  1245. Look up Enzian, Wasserfall and Rhinetochter WW2 German AA guided missiles.
    1
  1246. The shells didn’t actually enter orbit, but they did cross the ‘space line’.
    1
  1247. A wire-guided weapon launched from an aircraft would present quite a challenge!
    1
  1248. It doesn’t ‘know’ anything, it’s controlled manually - try watching the video for more information.
    1
  1249. Yes they can, as it’s in a historical context.
    1
  1250. YouTube rules for thumbnails.
    1
  1251. I’ll be visiting the RAF museum in a few weeks so will check it out.
    1
  1252. ‘Chester doors’ 😆He was in The Fast Show!
    1
  1253. Yes, it’s very small. I’ve been up close to a couple of the Messerschmitt versions in U.K museums.
    1
  1254. There was never any project to make it into a bomber. Far too small and short-ranged. It was only ever an interceptor.
    1
  1255. Several manufacturers make them, in various scales.
    1
  1256. Thanks for repeating exactly what is said and shown in the video for those that missed it.
    1
  1257. No. Far from it.
    1
  1258. I don’t think there are any ME262’s still flying.
    1
  1259. A rocket.
    1
  1260. V1.
    1
  1261. Er, it DID fly! Try watching the video.
    1
  1262. Which photo? Time stamp please.
    1
  1263. Great band!
    1
  1264. Congratulations on having excellent hearing. I heard that too. Thanks for repeating it for those that didn’t hear it.
    1
  1265. I’ve not heard of the ME323Z, but am familiar with the HE111Z or ‘Zwilling’, and it’s twin fuselages.
    1
  1266. Brit Bong303 - No. pairs of shoes were found in the debris field where bodies once lay but the bodies themselves rotted away decades ago.
    1
  1267. Nicholas - He’s done several. Most recently about a Polish tankette battle.
    1
  1268. landfair123 - Carrier? As in aircraft carrier?
    1
  1269. What I find shocking is that the survival rate was greater for 1st-class men than it was for 3rd-class children.
    1
  1270. No.
    1
  1271. That’s a pedal car built for William and Harry.
    1
  1272. No, ‘V’ is the Roman numeral for 5. Hence Phantom III and Phantom VI.
    1
  1273.  @hughgordon6435  - No. all windows on production Scimitars were conventional glass (my uncle had one). However the PROTOTYPE Scimitar show car had a glass back made from Triplex ‘Sundym’ glass, but of course it was far too expensive to put into production.
    1
  1274.  @hughgordon6435  - Correct but fibreglass rather than perspex.
    1
  1275.  @julianbrown.  - No such car as an ‘MG CGT’.
    1
  1276. I missed the MG. time stamp please?
    1
  1277. My favourite is the video for ‘Breakthru’.
    1
  1278. They’re on public display in Sandringham.
    1
  1279. No. Urban myth. She never kept any British military vehicles.
    1
  1280. E-Type* (Only called the XKE for the American market).
    1
  1281. Poor cat’s! 🐈
    1
  1282. The list IS complete! It’s just a video of some of the cars in the Sandringham collection.
    1
  1283. Charles had one of his DB6 Volantes converted to electricity.
    1
  1284.  @oliverpetroski4205  - Rubbish! The Queen’s car history is very well-documented and she NEVER had (or even drove) a Mini. You are mistaken.
    1
  1285. No. The Queen’s car history is very well-documented and she NEVER had a Mini. She was photographed sitting in one at a motor show, which is probably what you are remembering.
    1
  1286. Margaret? Watch the video again.
    1
  1287. No.
    1
  1288. Sadly I don’t think any of Churchill’s cars are in museums.
    1
  1289. Well she had one, but that was fifty years ago!
    1
  1290.  @kfl611  - That IS cool! I would love one but it’s too big for British roads.
    1
  1291. Nice cars, but a bit too gaudy for our royals.
    1
  1292. It IS in a museum! It’s the Sandringham collection.
    1
  1293. Diana*
    1
  1294.  @dougbrowning82  - Yes and no. On launch it could be purchased as either a ‘Morris Mini Minor’ or an ‘Austin Seven’. However as you say, the Morris version was soon dropped, as was the ‘Seven’ appellation, and it spent most of it’s life as the ‘Austin Mini’. I thought it unusual for the original poster to refer to it as a Morris. On a related note the car we know as the Morris Marina was briefly marketed in the USA as the AUSTIN Marina!
    1
  1295. Austin Mini.
    1
  1296. No, her many cars are well documented but she never had a Ford.
    1
  1297. It’s an Aston Martin Volante pedal car built for William and Harry.
    1
  1298. The one in the video is a pedal car built for William and Harry.
    1
  1299. Still in use so not in the Sandringham collection.
    1
  1300. As would his infamous ‘love seat’!
    1
  1301.  @Ocean-Mariner  - Er, it was you who erroneously posted ‘Queen of England’! Here in the mother country we’re quite sensitive when colonials makes such basic errors. There is NO ‘Queen of England’, neither is there a Queen of Scotland, Queen of Wales or Queen of Northern Ireland. Ever since Scotland acceded to The Union under Queen Elizabeth I.
    1
  1302.  @Ocean-Mariner  - No, England does NOT have a Queen (and hasn’t for 400 years). However The United Kingdom DOES have a Queen Consort, in the shape of Camilla, the former Duchess of Cornwall. I appreciate it’s difficult for colonials to understand.🇬🇧
    1
  1303. There hasn’t been a ‘Queen of England’ for 400 years. The last was Elizabeth I.
    1
  1304. This video is only about cars held at the Sandringham museum.
    1
  1305.  @kevinlevin3479  - You are correct. But there are SO many people saying she drove an ambulance that it would take ages correcting them all!
    1
  1306.  @kfl611  - Well yes, but then again that’s the chauffeur’s job!
    1
  1307. Wrong. It was his daughter Elizabeth who was in Kenya when she heard about her father’s death, and flew straight back. Very well-documented and newsreel videos all about it here on YouTube.
    1
  1308. No, the British Daimler brand had nothing to do whatsoever with Mercedes.
    1
  1309. She never drove herself in it. All photos/videos show a member of staff driving it with the Queen Mum alongside.
    1
  1310. Princess who?
    1
  1311. Clearly one of the very picky gods.
    1
  1312.  @tatavartianand9856  - ‘Is this even real’ is a a question. You asked ‘Who’s asking that question’. Well, simple logic would dictate that whoever typed the question using your username is the one asking the question. That leaves two possible answers: A. Someone has hacked your account/is asking questions using your username, and you simply want to know who. Or B. You are a total lunatic.
    1
  1313.  @tatavartianand9856  - Er, you are. ‘Is this even real’ - That’s what you asked.
    1
  1314. Of course it’s real! Why on earth wouldn’t it be?
    1
  1315. See Mark’s previous video on how most of them were scrapped.
    1
  1316. Instead he had it in for the souls of Coventry.
    1
  1317. Didn’t show Coventry much ‘grace’! Which ‘god’ though? FAR too many to choose from.
    1
  1318.  @1taylano  - Imprisonment in a POW camp plus manual labour. My father guarded POWs during labour. We did NOT torture captured aircrew.
    1
  1319. Which one though? Could have been the Hindu goddess Durga, she has lots of hands!
    1
  1320. I think Mark has already done a video on the first one.
    1
  1321. Well he lists the names of all the aircrew so it should be easy to confirm.
    1
  1322.  @MrBizteck  - I agree. I’ve got the book and the DVD. ‘Where yer goin now?’
    1
  1323. See Mark’s video about them.
    1
  1324. Ask an ex-squaddie how it’s pronounced and you’ll find it’s ALWAYS been referred to as the ‘Reemy’.
    1
  1325. Vern Etzel - Yep, seems that way.
    1
  1326. Whilst it’s true that he did encounter a V2 launch, he never shot it down! The incident is quite well documented.
    1
  1327. Check out the Heinkel He 162.
    1
  1328.  @PauloPereira-jj4jv  - My answer was to RandomDudeOne’s comment about inboard engines.
    1
  1329. They’re published in several books about them. A good one is the (rather old) ‘The German Jets In Combat’.
    1
  1330. Who on earth thinks the Nazis were ‘The good guys’? Slaughtering millions of innocent men, women and children.
    1
  1331. The Nazis were ‘the right side’? Oh dear.
    1
  1332. No.
    1
  1333. Not really Mark’s subject.
    1
  1334.  @Steve-GM0HUU  - That’s ok, ‘People exist in the elevator’ made me chuckle.
    1
  1335. ‘People exist in the elevator’ - Do they REALLY exist though? Or are they just a figment of the imagination?
    1
  1336. Got to love the over enthusiasm of the North Korean newsreader lady!
    1
  1337. It so does!
    1
  1338. ‘Bear’ is the NATO reporting name, B for bomber, single-syllable indicating prop-driven. Otherwise it’s just the Tupolev TU-95.
    1
  1339. I think he may have already done one.
    1
  1340.  @trevormillar1576  - Oh I didn’t know that! Will look out for the film. Thank you.
    1
  1341. Calvin Fernandez - I guessed it was because I was able to read the caption.
    1
  1342. rick hale - No that’s burrs.
    1
  1343. No. Note the tanks have German markings. Also appears to have run over a mine.
    1
  1344. Well Pocahontas is buried nearby in Gravesend!
    1
  1345. It was demolished in summer 1944, some eighty years ago, so I’m guessing you’re fairly erm, ‘senior’?
    1
  1346. ‘Dancing the wideshins’
    1
  1347. Tinnitus?
    1
  1348. I’ve just looked that up on IMDb and oh boy, the reviews!😂
    1
  1349. No. Sound effects library.
    1
  1350. He quite clearly said “a careful search”.
    1
  1351. 😂
    1
  1352. As explained in the video, the house of a Rector.
    1
  1353. Tonight, on Halloween, I’ll be consorting with my spirit friends. (Jack Daniels and Johnny Walker).
    1
  1354.  @oooh19  - LOL! (No such thing as ghosts👻)
    1
  1355. Meep meep!
    1
  1356. No, crackpot conspiracy theory.
    1
  1357. Almost certainly. The film was made in 1968 so it’s highly unlikely that such a historic aircraft would be scrapped at that late date. There are several Ju-52s still in flying condition.
    1
  1358.  @Whitpusmc  - I agree. I would love to visit the USS Texas or one of the New Jersey class battleships. I’ve also been to Duxford several times and it’s collection is indeed HUGE!
    1
  1359. Most countries did. We supplied NINE Arado Ar-234s to the yanks post-war for testing, and they scrapped all of them bar one, it being the only one surviving today.
    1
  1360. Most countries did. We supplied NINE Arado Ar-234s to the yanks post-war for testing, and they scrapped all of them bar one, it being the only one surviving today.
    1
  1361. Who’s that?
    1
  1362. Outside of Mark’s remit, he only does military matters. Try Rex’s Hangar channel.
    1
  1363. Highly unlikely as Mark doesn’t do videos on crackpot conspiracy theories. He concentrates on facts.
    1
  1364. No. Watch the video.
    1
  1365. Most countries did. We supplied NINE Arado Ar-234s to the yanks post-war for testing, and they scrapped all of them bar one, it being the only one surviving today.
    1
  1366. Yes, you can see how the Condor influenced the later DC-4 and DC-6.
    1
  1367. Indeed. ‘To the victor go the spoils’ as the phrase has it.
    1
  1368. Into someone’s home?
    1
  1369. ‘Hundreds of thousands’ - so at least 200,000 then? That’s hilarious! Why not millions, or billions? What a ridiculous thing to say.
    1
  1370.  @ogacid3547  - As I explained, they are ‘Kill markings’ denoting the number of German aircraft that pilot has shot down. Common amongst all allied airforces.
    1
  1371. It’s the kill score.
    1
  1372. Yes, WW2 was eighty years ago.
    1
  1373. Unlikely as she’d been dead for 400 years at the time.
    1
  1374. The video clearly explains it.
    1
  1375. It’s not that simple. And a recovery operation would run into hundreds of thousands.
    1
  1376.  @DoyleHargraves  - Croeso 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
    1
  1377.  @rolandet  - Fair enough.👍
    1
  1378.  @rolandet  - No, it’s quite clearly visible, look at the image and read my reply again. The whole aircraft is almost complete and intact, the only part NOT visible is the port rear boom. It would look pretty silly if it had ‘both engines on the left wing’ as you said, seeing as it’s a twin-engined aircraft, one on each wing!
    1
  1379. No, you’re seeing the port wing and engine, then the fuselage nacelle, then the starboard wing and engine.
    1
  1380. ENGLISH beach? Wrong country mate.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

  1381. I found a shell on a beach once.
    1
  1382.  @ericripley9739  - You’re getting Glacier Girl mixed-up with a B-17 at the same site. I have a fascinating book on the subject. As the commenter above states, Glacier Girl was recovered and restored, but the B-17 at the same site was indeed badly crushed and not recovered. There are photos of it in situ in my book.
    1
  1383. Isn’t there an almost-intact BV 222 Wiking just off the coast of Norway waiting to be recovered?
    1
  1384. mlong5151 - Possibly.
    1
  1385. Sick Bozo - Watch the video for your answer.
    1
  1386. superdupergrover - Trained squirrels?
    1
  1387. LT Patart - Unlikley, since such a thing never existed.
    1
  1388. Bomber Harris - 99
    1
  1389. 657449 - Code name ‘Moghul’.
    1
  1390. Seemor Disillusioned - Of course. Everything we do is inspired genius! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
    1
  1391. Gurgle Jug - I know everything there is to know about Shake ‘n’ Vac if that helps.
    1
  1392. Jake Yaboi - And Nazism prevailed?
    1
  1393. Yes there are. (See the Cannock Chase plaque near the beginning of the video).
    1
  1394. Quite! The familiar ‘Burning US half-track being passed by German soldier with MP44 assault rifle’ footage. I first saw this in World at War.
    1
  1395. Woman, not women. In his autobiography ‘Wings on my sleeve’ Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown said he disliked her intensely as she was a fanatical unrepentant Nazi.
    1
  1396. She was a fanatical and unrepentant Nazi even after the war. Read ‘Wings on my sleeve’.
    1
  1397. Even more impressive is that she flew it indoors in the Deutschlandhalle!
    1
  1398. Борис Керезов - Yes, supplied in the 30’s and licence-made thereafter.
    1
  1399. Bill D. in Iowa - Radar was in it’s infancy back then and radar-guidance had not yet been invented.
    1
  1400. Tom N. - Supplied in the 30’s and licence-made thereafter.
    1
  1401. Brent Gamble - Supplied in the 30’s and licence-made thereafter.
    1
  1402. Provo 45 - Style!
    1
  1403. SiNkY13 - In the fireplace anyway. (‘Great’).
    1
  1404. Your guide was joshing you. Such a sight would be both illegal (displaying the symbol is a criminal offence in Germany) and cause public outrage. There are NO buildings in Germany with a swastika on the front. Besides which, on reading your comment again you state that the building was ‘Hitler’s personal photographer’. A photographer is a person, not a building.
    1
  1405. There was never a swastika or an eagle on the Brandenburg gate. What you’re referring to is is the Americans blowing up the swastika on the zeppelin field in Nuremberg. Mark Felton has even done a video about that very incident.
    1
  1406. Coventry 1940?
    1
  1407. The former. (a tall tale).
    1
  1408. 3:56 - A brief appearance by a young Thora Hird.
    1
  1409. The 1000kg Exeter bomb was known as a ‘Herman’ and a similar bomb featured in the excellent series ‘Danger UXB’.
    1
  1410. I think he may have already done one.
    1
  1411. Yes!
    1
  1412. 1000kg, not 1000lbs!
    1
  1413. Why wouldn’t it be in colour? I think someone filmed it on their phone. I recall seeing it on the news. 📱
    1
  1414. I remember reading a horrific article about someone who was running down the street to an air raid shelter when he was struck in the back by one of these.
    1
  1415. Francois Coroller - Watch the video for the answer. It’s quite interesting.
    1
  1416. He mentioned it as being a terrible film in the Ryan video.
    1
  1417. In the 1950s film ‘A Night To Remember’ a lady is seen in one of the Titanic’s lifeboats with a large swastika decorating her hat!
    1
  1418. Without even a toilet break?
    1
  1419. Try unplugging it.
    1
  1420. Obviously stock footage with the number plates blurred. You see that all the time now, even on the BBC.
    1
  1421.  @billmalec  - Good point!
    1
  1422. Wow. The dual spelling mistakes make that comment priceless. I can only assume they were done for comedic effect, nobody can be that dumb surely?
    1
  1423. Absolute rubbish.
    1
  1424. No, it’s not humorous at all, it’s a military term.
    1
  1425. Sure you were.
    1
  1426. Thanks for repeating exactly what is both discussed and shown in the video.
    1
  1427. Mooooohamsalad - The Very 1st tank (‘Little Willie’) did originally have a turret, but it was deemed too top-heavy and removed.
    1
  1428. Jeff King - Yes, that would be the Maus. There’s photos of it online stuck in the mud.
    1
  1429. Mugdorna - No. The Jagdtiger was based on the Tiger 2. The tank-destroyer version of the Tiger 1 was the Ferdinand/Elefant.
    1
  1430. A. Soldier - No. Too unreliable, thirsty an fragile. Sadly they scrapped them all.
    1
  1431. K ris - And don’t forget to load up that zeppelin for indiscriminate bombing.
    1
  1432. Wil Ferch - See ‘Pipes of Peace’ video!
    1
  1433. Paul Frederick - All you other brothers can’t deny!
    1
  1434. Geoff Fisher - No. It was a mocked-up British MKVIII with a turret on top.
    1
  1435. Mstrbomber - Maud was obviously a big girl!
    1
  1436. Lord Zizumias - clearly a recreation.
    1
  1437. Simon Norris - I guess it would have been once the Gotha raids started.
    1
  1438. DrNightmare Mendoza - I think he’s already done videos on those.
    1
  1439. cameron newton - Most men were away fighting.
    1
  1440. Max weber - Yes. Clockwork.
    1
  1441. JP Slayermayor - I guess they would have fused them (or removed safeties) just prior to dropping them.
    1
  1442.  @allaboutboats  - Yep, that’s exactly what Mark says in the video.
    1
  1443. No transistors or GPS in WW2.
    1
  1444. That would be a VERY long video!
    1
  1445. Everyone’s heard of the V-2, but it would be interesting to do a video on the ‘other’ German WW2 missiles such as the Rhinebote, Wasserfall, Enzian and Rhinetocter to name but a few examples.
    1
  1446. And Ashens!
    1
  1447.  @MarkFeltonProductions  - I remember taking a boat tour of the Hamburg docks as a student, and the tour guide proudly pointing-out the dock in which the Bismarck was built, exclaiming that it was ‘the greatest battleship ever constructed!’ Of course being British I innocently asked him “What happened to it?”
    1
  1448. Google the Kettering and Sperry drones of world war ONE!
    1
  1449. Did you also visit the nearby ‘Blockhaus’ V2 site?
    1
  1450. It’s french.
    1
  1451. I was lucky enough to visit it in the late 90’s, fascinating!
    1
  1452. Yes, it’s compulsory.
    1
  1453. Watch the video to find out.
    1
  1454. Thank you for repeating exactly what Mark said in the video for those that missed it.
    1
  1455. Mark sounds nothing like him whatsoever! Ringo has a distinctive scouse accent.
    1
  1456. Watch the video to find out.
    1
  1457. Keith Allver - An 88mm shell.
    1
  1458. No, wrong country.
    1
  1459. Armando? 😂
    1
  1460.  @rogersmith7396  - Obsolete and largely phased out by then.
    1
  1461. JATO/RATO
    1
  1462.  @stuartpenman6387  - Er ok, I’ve never ‘dealt with a propagandist’ before. Whom should I ask? And what form does this ‘citation’ you speak of take? Just curious and keen to learn.😀
    1
  1463.  @stuartpenman6387  - What on earth are you on about? What do you mean by ‘ask for citation’. Of what? From whom? And who’s a ‘propagandist’?
    1
  1464. What? Please explain.
    1
  1465. Wrong country.
    1
  1466. Only 3 prototypes were built and they had all been scrapped long before this action.
    1
  1467. Sharpened-up and ready for a bit of the old ultra violence. Next, a bit of in-out in-out with a young devotchka.
    1
  1468. Must watch the film ‘Ice cold in Alex’ again.
    1
  1469. wape1 - I’ve read the excellent book about it. Very interesting.
    1
  1470. ❤️🇬🇧?
    1
  1471. Pizza rolls all round!
    1
  1472. Well the title of the video says ‘WW2 armoured vehicles’ so I guess it’s not readily associated with WW2.
    1
  1473. T-34s yes but panthers? I seriously doubt it.
    1
  1474. I was also a kid in the 70s and remember one being used on the beach at Bognor Regis to ferry passengers out to a pleasure cruiser. It had it’s bodywork removed and replaced with a box-like structure.
    1
  1475. Well several M-1s were knocked out by RPG7s during the second gulf war so I guess anything is possible.
    1
  1476. Well some were knocked out by RPG-7s during the second gulf war so I guess anything’s possible!
    1
  1477. I can assure you there are NO WW1 tanks still in service, however amazing such a concept might be!
    1
  1478. I believe he’s already covered those in a previous video.
    1
  1479. Thanks for repeating exactly exactly what is said in the video for those that missed it (ref. lanyards).
    1
  1480. I think he’s already done one. I recall him mentioning the MG42 still being in service somewhere.
    1
  1481. Not quite. The prototypes sent to Germany for evaluation never actually saw action, and there are definitely NONE in service today, the last centurion-based engineer vehicles retiring a few years ago.
    1
  1482. Sadly centurions did not enter service until after WW2.
    1
  1483. I very much doubt it as they’d be over a hundred years old!
    1
  1484. Lentil soup
    1
  1485. No I dark hair suits her more.
    1
  1486.  @bloodybones63  - Unlikely. Fog is incredibly rare in London.
    1
  1487. He’s done lots of WW1 videos.
    1
  1488. No.
    1
  1489. No, it’s a new video.
    1
  1490. The Saxe-Coburg-Gothas? (Windsors).
    1
  1491.  @markfryer9880  - Yes it does. Videos of such runs are on YouTube.
    1
  1492. Watch the video to find out.
    1
  1493. Mark’s already done a video about that.
    1
  1494. No, they’re not really part of the DMZ.
    1
  1495.  @jewiesnew3786  - He’s already done a video on it.
    1
  1496. Yeah I saw a TV documentary about the American soldiers who defected to North Korea.
    1
  1497. The incident you refer to was one of many China/India border clashes.
    1
  1498. 0:33 - Pretty sure that’s Faygate. Anybody care to confirm?
    1
  1499. Daniel Loughery - Because we’re different? 🇬🇧
    1
  1500. richard willett - Yes. Well worth a visit.
    1
  1501. Bellwoody - Nine Arado AR-234s were sent to America after the war. They scrapped all of them except one, which is today the sole remaining example of the type.
    1
  1502. Good point!
    1
  1503. Marcell D'avis - Yes, That gun-cam footage is real, have seen it all many times in lots of documentaries from various sources (Discovery Channel for example).
    1
  1504. Joe Schlotthauer - Yes, because unlike a jet or piston plane, there was no driveshaft to take power from.
    1
  1505. Kansa City Shuffle - Yes indeed it was, a research aircraft, not a combat aircraft. There have been MANY rocket-powered research and prototype aircraft, from Saunders-Roe in Britain and Sud-Est in France for example, but the ME-163 was the only operational combat rocket.
    1
  1506. Basjan Boomklim - Isn’t that a canal in Germany? (Kiel).
    1
  1507. Patrik - Yes, quite a few. I’ve seen one at the imperial war museum, and another one at the RAF museum.
    1
  1508. I was really chuffed to see this video. 🚂
    1
  1509. Zsolt Monostori - You are correct. Check out East German uniforms for sale on eBay!
    1
  1510. Joe Mitchell - Swiss? I always thought they were neutral.
    1
  1511. And just like Stevie Nicks many years later, Edward also enjoyed receiving his Columbian marching powder via his ‘back door’.
    1
  1512. Yes, but that was if they successfully invaded England.
    1
  1513. Almost. As mentioned in the video, his father, King George V changed the family surname from the triple-barrelled Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to ‘Windsor’ in order to sound less German.
    1
  1514. Queen Victoria? Can’t be Queen Elizabeth II as her only nephew is David Armstrong-Jones, born 3 November 1961. So pretty unlikely he would wear an SS uniform as he didn’t reach adulthood until November 1979.
    1
  1515. You may wish to check your dictionary (or Google) for the definition of the word ‘Tedious’ and then edit your comment!
    1
  1516. And his brother Roger went on to achieve fame with Nookie the Bear.
    1
  1517. I read somewhere that there’s a batch of files on this subject that will be declassified in 2027.
    1
  1518. I believe that information relating to Amy Johnson’s fatal plane crash are sealed for 100 years.
    1
  1519. And prior to 1917 the ‘Mountbattens’ were the Battenbergs.
    1
  1520. Which ‘gate’ are you referring to? The Brandenburg Gate I assume?
    1
  1521. Just like Princess Margaret and Andrew’s daughters.
    1
  1522. Mortimus Maximus - What do you mean ‘IF’?
    1
  1523. Jimbob7595 - Bit chilly in winter!
    1
  1524. Vladislav Olegowicz - Thanks for the info.
    1
  1525. Yeah I noticed that too.
    1
  1526. Bryce Eichelkraut - 🇺🇸 is ok but a bit unsymmetrical. At least with 🇬🇧 you know where to find said country on the standard world map 🗺: In the middle, at the top.
    1
  1527. Just when you think you’ve learnt all about WW2, Mark comes up with something you didn’t know! I’ve seen the footage before and always assumed they were yanks because of the helmets and M1s.
    1
  1528. fuferito - Yes, I thought it was a key as well, which would fit in with the whole ‘guarding’ thing.
    1
  1529. Michal - Google?
    1
  1530. Patrick Duckworth - Families.
    1
  1531. charlotte mace - U.S-operated RB-57 Canberras have been operating out of Djibouti quite recently. Photos and videos are out there.
    1
  1532. Halo mannen - Borgward IV demolition vehicle.
    1
  1533. CMDRFandragon - One German aircraft dropped a single bomb on my late mother’s isolated cottage. Missed!
    1
  1534. Appalachian Snapshot - Yes they were, but some of their emplacements can still be visited. One was recently restored.
    1
  1535. William Logan - Thanks folk.
    1
  1536. Well the bomb they dropped at the end of my grandmother’s road caused all her best plates to fall off the kitchen dresser. She was NOT happy.😡
    1
  1537. What absolute nonsense.
    1
  1538.  @Stuka87g1  - Exactly!
    1
  1539. They had several. I would list them but there’s far too many.
    1
  1540. No. Clearly he didn’t want to shake hands with a Nazi. But then who would?
    1
  1541. Well being captured by the yanks rather than the Russians gave him every reason to smile!
    1
  1542. Nope.
    1
  1543. The moustache was quite popular amongst his acolytes.
    1
  1544. Nazis?
    1
  1545. Well spotted.
    1
  1546.  @fstimellom8882  - Yes I know. As I said, Mark Felton has made a video about that myth, he mentions it himself in a reply to a previous commenter .
    1
  1547. Mark Felton has done a video about that myth.
    1
  1548.  @chrisbelos2834  - Thank you.
    1
  1549. Would that be ‘The World At War’?
    1
  1550. Artistic license. Yes, some summary battlefield executions of Germans did take place ‘in the heat of battle’, but yes these were illegal and some allied soldiers were punished for them. See the mass execution of German guards at Dachau by US troops for more details. On the other hand enemy combatants engaged in operations whilst dressed in their opponents’ uniforms WERE classed as spies, but had to undergo a military trial and if found guilty were shot by firing squad. See ‘Greif Kommandos’ during the Battle of the bulge for more details.
    1
  1551.  @tpl608  - Sorry, couldn’t resist! Just my sense of humour. (Note correct spelling BTW 😉🇬🇧)
    1
  1552. Being not in my sight, not ‘naughty’. (I have a copy of the script).
    1
  1553. It’s a re-upload of an old video, updated for 2023.
    1
  1554. No U - What’s a po2?
    1
  1555. commander31able - Yes. The Matra Magic is a very common AA missile.
    1
  1556. Clyde Ceniza - Profit, Just like the yanks selling F-14 Tomcats to Iran.
    1
  1557. Matt - Mission logs, radar telemetry etc etc.
    1
  1558. Daniel Chew - Same as the F-117.
    1
  1559. Yeah I wondered that too. (And It has a VERY flat tyre!)
    1
  1560. I don’t think butterflies have the strength to carry bombs, plus it would be difficult to train them.
    1
  1561. Such a shame there’s no photos or film footage of that.
    1
  1562. No there’s this thing called ‘pandemic’ which is making travel difficult at the moment.
    1
  1563. Thanks for repeating exactly what is said in the video for those that missed it.
    1
  1564. That Horch is a thing of beauty.
    1
  1565. Unigate Dairies?
    1
  1566. The Obersalzburg home movie footage is on original Kodak cinecolor.
    1
  1567. If you’re asking where these are located the I suggest you watch the video for the answer.
    1
  1568. Which translated into English means?
    1
  1569. Scraped them against what? A wall? (Scrapped).
    1
  1570.  @Heike--  - Hilarious but untrue of course. Hitler himself was a Christian and referred to their god being on their side in his speeches.
    1
  1571. I don’t think it’s worth ‘hundreds of millions’ of dollars somehow!
    1
  1572. I think you mean colander. A calendar is something quite different!
    1
  1573. In my book ‘Magnesium Overcast’ there’s a photo of of a B-29 parked next to a B-36, which completely dwarfs the B-29!
    1
  1574. Thanks. I will check that out.
    1
  1575. Thanks for repeating exactly what is shown and talked about in the video for those that missed it.
    1
  1576. No, I can assure you that there is NO Martin Mars at Pima. Watch the video for information on the fate of all of the individual Mars aircraft constructed.
    1
  1577. Aircraft carriers usually operate at sea.
    1
  1578. Not quite. It had a battery of 'Fohn' rockets in the nose, saved weight!.
    1
  1579. Did that involve Rod Hull?
    1
  1580. Why?
    1
  1581. Kevin Varney - Sure looks like it.
    1
  1582. Which ‘god’?
    1
  1583. I wouldn’t. Far too many of these silly made-up ‘gods’ to choose from. Just which invisible magic sky pixie do you pick? (Not That it would do you any good).
    1
  1584.  @stevedietrich8936  - It was briefly covered in The World at War, beaten, raped, and some shot out of hand.
    1
  1585. Nazis AFTER WW2?
    1
  1586. She’s dead.
    1
  1587. ‘PLUSKAT!’
    1
  1588. She wouldn’t have been ‘captured’ by them, no more than a Briton would be ‘captured’ by an American, as they were our allies.
    1
  1589. Of what? Tanks? Chandeliers? Belly-button fluff?
    1
  1590. After eighty years I should think it’s pretty unlikely.
    1
  1591. To be honest I doubt that there are many young German music students that are into Mark’s military history videos!
    1
  1592. Yes I thought of too. The scene where she distributes the pamphlets.
    1
  1593. Mother’s Day is in March.
    1
  1594.  @nupraptorthementalist3306  - Mark Felton has produced a video all about it. (The one alluded to in this video). Worth a look.
    1
  1595. Yes.
    1
  1596.  @starshipchi-rhostudio7097  - I’m afraid I don’t have a link but a quick scroll/search through this channel should find the video.
    1
  1597. Not really, but brought out for steam charter runs.
    1
  1598. Privet hedge? (And Churchill never had a private train. Don’t know if Eisenhower did but I’d guess unlikely).
    1
  1599. Mother’s Day is in March.
    1
  1600. Crew accommodation on the flakwagen looks rather cramped!
    1
  1601. 1:47 - ARP Warden goes to Dr Who for help.
    1
  1602. Paul Broadway - She was lucky. Google ‘Bethnal Green tube disaster’.
    1
  1603. Paulie Walnuts - There was an air raid?
    1
  1604. 10:46 - Shout out to all my ex ROC comrades, from No2 Group Control (Met Sector Control). Tocsin Bang!
    1
  1605. Have just dug out my copy of ‘The Third World War’ by General Sir John Hackett. This has prompted me to pop in the Blu-ray of ‘Threads’. (‘Mum! The Americans and the Russians have started fighting, dad says you’re to come home right away).
    1
  1606. I think he did one a long time ago.
    1
  1607. Yes.
    1
  1608. Yes. Mentioned in the video.
    1
  1609. Well spotted! Clearly their senses are working overtime.
    1
  1610. A purposeful-looking aeroplane.
    1
  1611. No he did not.
    1
  1612.  @ELECTRONICSANDGADGETS  - Sorry but I don’t believe you.
    1
  1613. Yeah sure. Post a video of them.
    1
  1614. No.
    1
  1615. Waffle SS - LOL!😂 otherwise known as The Breakfast Battalion?
    1
  1616. Watch the video for the answer.
    1
  1617. It’s neither. Watch the video.
    1
  1618. I think he’s already done one.
    1
  1619. We had no help whatsoever from the yanks. They stayed well out of it.🇬🇧
    1
  1620. Really? That would have been a major international incident. Do tell us more!
    1
  1621.  @WALTERBROADDUS  - What does ‘his papers’ mean?
    1
  1622.  @EdMcF1  - Yes, Whitman Air Force Base.
    1
  1623. Ask the people who live there.
    1
  1624. The Empire struck back!🇬🇧
    1
  1625. See ‘Battle of Britain’.
    1
  1626. They’re called ‘Anti-flash hoods’ and are indeed made of cotton. Designed to reflect the heat flash of an explosion to prevent burns, and have proved very effective!
    1
  1627. Heavy-barrelled FAL. NATO 7.62 like the other FALs in the photo.
    1
  1628. No, dozens, if not hundreds of people were injured by these things, as mentioned in the video.
    1
  1629. Someone mentioned a museum in Gdańsk.
    1
  1630. Per Wahloo - T36?
    1
  1631. Daniel Korkmaz - One of those is in the tank museum at Bovington.
    1
  1632. I have a friend who enjoys scouting for boys. His case comes up next week.
    1
  1633.  @insideoutsideupsidedown2218  - Martlet*
    1
  1634. Recon.
    1
  1635. Google Earth shows one on the ground in Djibouti.
    1
  1636. Yes, one of them, the blue NASA markings repainted in a light low-visibility grey, transited through Glasgow Prestwick, and can be seen on Google Earth on the ground in Djibouti.
    1
  1637. Google Earth shows one on the ground in Djibouti.
    1
  1638. Lots of people mentioning the omission of the BAE Hawk, but don’t forget we also supplied the yanks with the Shorts 330/360.
    1
  1639. Recon over Afghanistan.
    1
  1640.  @Syn_1  - There’s excellent video of an RB-57 with the blue NASA markings repainted in a low-visibility grey transiting through Glasgow Prestwick. Google Earth shows one on the ground in Djibouti.
    1
  1641. Kanjo Racer - That one never existed.
    1
  1642.  @STG42_44  - The Texas (launched in 1912) is definitely NOT being recommissioned!
    1
  1643. My local timber yard used a WW2 RAF bomb trolley for internal transport around the yard well into the 1980’s. Also a tour boat operator in Bognor Regis used an M3 half track (fitted with new bodywork) to ferry passengers from the beach to the boat throughout the 1970’s.
    1
  1644. SuperAgentman007 - Er not quite. All the New Jersey class have been formally struck off and removed from the register. Much equipment has been removed and they are no longer seaworthy. The Missouri’s engines have not run since 1992 and when she was moved in 1995 and 1998 she had to be towed as her engines were no longer operable. She underwent a cosmetic refurbishment in 2009 which cured some hull leaks.
    1
  1645. chronicbootysnatcher - It is.
    1
  1646. 36736fps - Flat?
    1
  1647. Trek001 - USS Pueblo. An American spy ship captured in DPRK waters.
    1
  1648. Jacob riddle - HMS Victory?
    1
  1649. This is similar to the little-known RB-45 recon flights also carried out by the RAF over the Soviet Union at the same time.
    1
  1650. Boreas - “LITERALLY A KING TIGER ON STEROIDS”
    1
  1651. Number of comments stating that the HE-111 is a medium bomber: 42,783 and growing.
    1
  1652. Medium.
    1
  1653. Can you list them? I can only find 4. (Many out-of-date websites still list the two that crashed I recent years).
    1
  1654. Which one?
    1
  1655.  @jeffsquires6620  - Thanks. I’ll look up that book, all sounds incredibly far-fetched!
    1
  1656. I seriously doubt it. It would be worth millions.
    1
  1657. It allowed enough room for a four-gun rear turret.
    1
  1658.  @VFRSTREETFIGHTER  - Thanks very much, I’ll check them out!👍
    1
  1659. Sadly no. Two have been lost in the last two years, leaving the four mentioned in the video l
    1
  1660. Medium.
    1
  1661. Medium, not a heavy bomber.
    1
  1662. Medium, not heavy.
    1
  1663. Absolutely.
    1
  1664. All of the aircraft on this list were designed for overland bombing, the Sunderland was a maritime patrol aircraft.
    1
  1665. I suppose you could could argue that it’s technically not a bomber, but a maritime patrol aircraft, (hence the ‘PBY’ designation), as all of the aircraft on this list were used in overland bombing raids, whilst the Privateer never was.
    1
  1666. No, medium.
    1
  1667. Yes, it was. The month the Japanese surrendered. 🇯🇵
    1
  1668. ????
    1
  1669. I see a lot of the footage is from Duxford. This is one of my favourite museums and I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone.
    1
  1670. Can you list them please? I can only find 4. (Many out-of-date websites still list the two that crashed in recent years).
    1
  1671.  @FiveCentsPlease  - Yeah I thought so. (I guessed the original commenter was talking BS). I’ve never heard of Enola Gay being considered airworthy before. Thanks for the clarification.👍
    1
  1672. Enola Gay is classed as airworthy? I never knew that! (I’ll check it out).
    1
  1673. The Mitchell was a medium bomber.
    1
  1674. Correct. There is no way it could ever be classed as a heavy bomber!
    1
  1675. No. No Manchesters left at all. All scrapped.
    1
  1676. Their never was a twin-engined Stirling. (Unless of course you removed two of it’s four engines!)
    1
  1677. Not really, a smallish twin-engined medium when compared to Lancasters etc.
    1
  1678. Light. It could only carry two relatively small bombs!
    1
  1679. B29 on the list, B25 not because it’s a medium.
    1
  1680. Solar gasoline? What’s that?
    1
  1681.  @loddude5706  - Correct. Pound’s scrapyard, all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff there, including the silver balls from the film ‘Tommy’.
    1
  1682. I think he may have already done a video on that.
    1
  1683. Titbit: the largest bomb seen under the fuselage of the Kent Heinkel is an SC 1000kg ‘Hermann’, fitted with a ‘kopfring’ around the nose to prevent it penetrating too far into the ground. It was of course nicknamed after the eponymous Luftwaffe leader.
    1
  1684. Anyone else remember how the Airfix kit came in an odd shade of very pale blue? (Contrasted with black for the Lancaster).
    1
  1685. I have a section of fuselage (yes, really) from a B-25 Mitchell with bullet holes in it. I once lent it to our local museum when they did a WW2 exhibition.
    1
  1686. 5:47 - That looks like RAF Faygate, one of the collection depots for aircraft wreckage and only a couple of miles away from where I live.
    1
  1687. Well there were the CASA HE-111s used during the film The Battle of Britain.
    1
  1688. I bet he was quite familiar with the nearby ‘receiving depot’ of RAF Faygate.
    1
  1689. I think that was proven to be a myth.
    1
  1690. KJVNEWS - ‘The Panzer Pope’
    1
  1691. Garvin Benjamin -G LION - Huh?
    1
  1692. Andrew Lindsay - One from East Pomerania? (Sorry couldn’t resist).
    1
  1693. juankenon - Optics? Telescopes or binoculars?
    1
  1694. scott left - ‘A bad day to be a nazi’
    1
  1695. Clarence Boddicker - Wonder why Mark didn’t include it in this video?
    1
  1696. George Foord - If ordered to then yes.
    1
  1697. John Reed - That has been completely debunked, many many times. Only the other day I was watching the old series ‘The world at war’ which featured several people who were present at the time describing the suicides and subsequent disposal of the bodies.
    1
  1698. gompsie - Well I’ve no idea what ‘JWO’ stands for (perhaps you could explain?) but Churchill did not become Prime Minister until 1940, one year after the war began. So any of Hitler’s pre-war speeches would be irrelevant in that context.
    1
  1699. 123 Kraut - I would guess because he felt shame for fighting for the cause of fascism.
    1
  1700. Frank Abler - He was a fictitious character.
    1
  1701. Antic?
    1
  1702. No they can’t. Watch the video at 5:39.
    1
  1703. And has fully-reclining seats!
    1
  1704. The USA.
    1
  1705. We have one, go to the Royal family’s official website, and click on the header labelled ‘The Queen’. It tells you all about her.
    1
  1706. The Royal household has a jobs section on its website.
    1
  1707. And delicious!
    1
  1708. Wrong. Firstly, google the coronation invites, they read ‘You are invited to the coronation of their majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Then watch the ceremony itself, she sits on the Queen’s throne, whilst the Archbishop of Canterbury places the Queen’s crown on her head and proclaims her Queen. At the same time the choir sing ‘Vivat, vivat! Camilla Regina’ (Hail Queen Camilla).
    1
  1709. I’ve never heard the expression ‘Really Yare’ before, what does it mean?
    1
  1710. *Mews.
    1
  1711. Why on earth would there be?
    1
  1712. What? 🤪
    1
  1713.  @leomarkaable1 - That would be Arundel (I live quite nearby). The Gal Gadot Wonder Woman film was filmed there.
    1
  1714. An aircraft with a rather unfortunate NATO reporting name.
    1
  1715. No it’s to deter parachutists of course. (Ouch!)
    1
  1716. Oh no, couldn’t do that to the King’s cousin old boy!🇬🇧
    1
  1717.  @rickv1007  - Oh I didn’t know that. Thanks for the information.👍
    1
  1718. ‘Tough old gut’
    1
  1719.  @TheConfederate1863  - Why ask a question about a video without even watching said video? What a bizarre thing to do! I always watch the video in full BEFORE asking any questions about it’s content.
    1
  1720. Watch the video for the answer.
    1
  1721. Nah.
    1
  1722. Same here.
    1
  1723. Check out the website link in the video description.
    1
  1724. FullMetalChicken - Mark’s already done a video on those.
    1
  1725. cheezymuffin - Thanks. I just looked and found 147 King Tigers in a big shed at the bottom of my grandad’s garden.
    1
  1726. Clutch Chancellor - Did he ever go to Japan?
    1
  1727. Great film!
    1
  1728. The FAMO? Yes, it’s a big bugger.
    1
  1729.  @Raginggamer44  Thanks! I’ll get the first train in the morning. Good luck with the English lessons, one day you’ll be speaking it like a native. Don’t bother replying as I have now blocked your comments so I won’t see them.
    1
  1730.  @Raginggamer44  - Thanks for changing your comment from ‘HAS a nice plane’ to ‘HAD a nice plane’ I wasn’t sure if you’d heard the news of his passing is all.✌️
    1
  1731. I believe he’s dead you know. So I don’t think he has much of anything.
    1
  1732. It wasn’t an ‘active war’. It was just like today, the occasional terrorist atrocity. Which is very difficult to guard against in peacetime.
    1
  1733. Because he was a British soldier. Sadly any serviceman or RUC member was a target.
    1
  1734. Marx the Pilot - An awful lot didn’t.
    1
  1735. Michael Xia - A lot of units had ‘Combat Cameramen’ attached.
    1
  1736.  @nedludd7622  - Yeah I think that’s what’s going to happen.
    1
  1737. No helicopter can lift 40 tons!
    1
  1738.  @CMDRFandragon  - The cast hull section of a Sherman itself weighs 20 tons. The maximum weight ever lifted by a helicopter was 12 tons.
    1
  1739. No helicopter can lift 40 tons! Plus there are no Sikorsky Skycranes operating in Europe.
    1
  1740. No helicopter can lift 40 tons!
    1
  1741. No helicopter can lift 40 tons!
    1
  1742. No helicopter can lift 40 tons!
    1
  1743. No helicopter can lift 40 tons!
    1
  1744.  @imtiredtiredtired  - Yes you are correct, M4A1/76mm.
    1
  1745.  @imtiredtiredtired  - Mark describes it in his narration!
    1
  1746. No, it’s a Sherman, listen to Mark’s description of it.
    1
  1747. And a knob of butter.
    1
  1748. No. His is the correct (British) pronunciation.
    1
  1749.  @roberttelarket4934 - Clearly not an Ultravox fan!
    1
  1750. *Felton.
    1
  1751. Well if you do then Dr Felton and many other historians would love to hear from you. Let us know how you get on.
    1
  1752. Camano? Isn’t that an American sports car? (*Kimono).
    1
  1753. *you’re.
    1
  1754. There are several of those, all of which have proven to be medieval in origin.
    1
  1755. I think he may have already done one on that.
    1
  1756. Unguided rockets in this footage. (Although the Germans did indeed have very limited numbers of early ground to air missiles).
    1
  1757. Watch the end of the video.
    1
  1758. No, the surrounding area was evacuated.
    1
  1759. The Tallboy, Grand Slam and similar giant bombs were NEVER dropped on cities. Only high-value, heavily-reinforced military targets.
    1
  1760. Sent by the survivors of the destruction of Coventry?
    1
  1761. Payback for Coventry.
    1
  1762.  @sealove79able  - You are correct. Belfast is the largest British ship preserved, but the Americans have had the sense to preserve some of their battleships. Would have been great to see Rodney (or similar) preserved!
    1
  1763. Big battlewagons? Such as?
    1
  1764. Probably RIAT.
    1
  1765. This video makes want to dig out my Battle of Britain DVD again. A classic film, even though there are more than a few anachronistic goofs!
    1
  1766. Chimpanzee that! (Monkey news).
    1
  1767. Check out the ‘Filming locations’ section on it’s IMDb entry.
    1
  1768. I’m sure there’s a website.
    1
  1769. Because it wasn’t all that important.
    1
  1770. The Queen fired an SA80? When and where was that?
    1
  1771. *Britain.
    1
  1772. As he was Prime Minister at the time, running the U.K in WW2, I would be surprised if he had any involvement in that.
    1
  1773. I thought Croydon Aerodrome only ever had grass runways? (Although it did have concrete hard standing in front of the terminal).
    1
  1774. Heroes.
    1
  1775. Alexei Sayle lookalike.
    1
  1776.  C2W83  - Er, the correct spelling is with a ‘K’ - check your Oxford English Dictionary or look at the front of any branch of Knickerbox. (Or order a tasty knickerbocker glory! 😋)
    1
  1777. ‘Pistol-packing mama’
    1
  1778. Why the bizarre use of capital letters at the beginning of every word? Weird.
    1
  1779. A consise but interesting little video. I wonder what the Soviet soliders’ guardhouses are used for now.
    1
  1780.  @jcaleca60  - A lot of our heroes don’t. I knew an old guy that was in the RAF flying Wellingtons, he never liked to talk about it. When he died his family discovered he had been awarded The Distinguished Flying Cross, the RAF’s highest order. We owe that generation SO much.
    1
  1781. He’s done dozens of videos about the Pacific Theatre.
    1
  1782. Yes, Dr Felton has covered that in a previous video.
    1
  1783. They do. As you come out of Stadtoldendendof station there are two memorials, one each for WW1 and WW2.
    1
  1784. Colditz next?
    1
  1785. I don’t think so. This video includes a still of the one in Bovington.
    1
  1786. Heroes.
    1
  1787. As discussed and shown in the video.
    1
  1788. What? Something lost in translation methinks!
    1
  1789. 0:40 - RAF Faygate, West Sussex. (Faygate railway station and Agate’s timber yard in background).
    1
  1790. Not a plane company.
    1
  1791. A Dutch company, not related to the Focke-Wulf company.
    1
  1792. What aircraft did those companies manufacture?
    1
  1793. What models of aircraft did they manufacture? During WW2? I can’t seem to find any details.
    1
  1794. Not an aircraft manufacturer.
    1
  1795. *Panavia.
    1
  1796.  @time603 - No, Junkers and BWW were actually competitors for Luftwaffe engine contracts.
    1
  1797. I don’t think that was a WW2 German aircraft manufacturer.
    1
  1798. Fokker is a Dutch company. Nothing to do with the similar-sounding German company.
    1
  1799. Because it’s a Dutch company.
    1
  1800. Watch the video, it mentions their 1950s/60s bubble car.
    1
  1801. No, JUNKERS, not Junghans. Two completely different companies.
    1
  1802. If it’s a ‘Layco’ then it’s a fake. The real brand is called LACO.
    1
  1803. Anyoldion - That’s the Argentine submarine ‘Santa Fe’ which we took out when we retook South Georgia.
    1
  1804. Scout Sniper - Exactly! - Mass hysteria. Watch the video for more information/confirmation that that there were NO aircraft.
    1
  1805. Scout Sniper - There were NO aircraft.
    1
  1806. Andrew Eisele - ‘If you pick a paw-paw, or a prickly pear, well next time, beware ‘
    1
  1807. Mark Paul - No, it starred his late brother John.
    1
  1808. quinnjim - They were officially called concentration camps, hence Mark’s use of quotes. This is of course long before the horrors of them in Europe were discovered.
    1
  1809. Dan Zervos - 1941.
    1
  1810. danam0228 - 1941.
    1
  1811. James Watkins - Much the same, most were interned on The Isle of Man.
    1
  1812. StormLaker1975 - 1941.
    1
  1813. kungfuasgaeilge - Yes, but people WERE killed by falling flak. There’s a famous photograph of a family killed in a car by falling flak during the Pearl Harbor raid.
    1
  1814. richard willett - Yes.
    1
  1815. FrankDad - 1941.
    1
  1816. ‘Enemy wessals kiptin’
    1
  1817.  @jamesmagnum  - Oh right, thanks. A rare mistake on Dr Felton’s part then!
    1
  1818. Bearing in mind the slow speed of the aircraft and the distance involved, 1.30pm sounds plausible.
    1
  1819. Stopped at a filling station on the way.
    1
  1820. Correct. I think Whitleys were the aircraft used for that.
    1
  1821. Not really his remit. He mainly does world war stuff.
    1
  1822.  @keefymckeefface8330  - A lot of them are obvious by their choice of usernames and avatars. They often try to make their comments a little more subtle, along the likes of ‘well we all know that WW2 was caused by the international banking fraternity’ etc. I always report them for hate speech.
    1
  1823.  @Chobittsu  - Absolutely! I’d recognise those big 4-gun turrets anywhere.
    1
  1824. The famous flying gun turret!
    1
  1825.  @keefymckeefface8330  - Thank you. I’ll look that up.
    1
  1826. Not heard of that one. Any more details, such as as aircraft types or even what nation conducted the raid?
    1
  1827. ‘The Empire strikes back’
    1
  1828. I believe that was Hitler’s previous girlfriend.
    1
  1829. I believe that was Hitler’s previous girlfriend.
    1
  1830.  @keiranallcott1515  - Yes, further research reveals that you are right. I’m happy to be corrected. 👍
    1
  1831. Correct. The entrance to the bunker was being reconstructed at the time.
    1
  1832. 0:31 - That’s RAF Faygate (with J S Agate’s timber yard in the background). Quite local to me.
    1
  1833. Yes.
    1
  1834. The day we finally got rid of one of our more troublesome colonies. 🇬🇧
    1
  1835. Nazis should be respected?
    1
  1836. Ride home?
    1
  1837. Cool story.
    1
  1838. What’s with the bizarre triple-spacing? Weird.
    1
  1839. Jawohl!
    1
  1840.  @vk2ig  - So true.
    1
  1841. I got the same feeling when wandering around the ruins of Coventry Cathedral.
    1
  1842. I’ve got the Blu-ray of the recent excellent film about it. Highly recommended.
    1
  1843.  @historyandhorseplaying7374  - Try displaying a swastika in Germany today and see how far you get.
    1
  1844. Laser - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
    1
  1845. Cities*
    1
  1846. It IS used, sports, music etc.
    1
  1847. True. Vienna/Wein is but another of dozens.
    1
  1848.  @Segalmed  - Interesting. I didn’t know that.
    1
  1849. He’s already done one.
    1
  1850. Correct. The original 1945 film was poorly edited.
    1
  1851. True. And I like those new drapes in your bathroom by the way.
    1
  1852. Because that’s the correct, German pronunciation of the name, as explained at the beginning of the video. And it’s NOT ‘everyone else’, that’s only English-speakers. There are other languages in the world you know, but by your incorrect use of an apostrophe in the word ‘says’ it’s obvious that English is a problem for you.
    1
  1853. Lack of money.
    1
  1854. I’m looking at you Michael Bay!💥
    1
  1855. Yeah I got that feeling when wandering around the ruins of Coventry Cathedral.

  1860. My late father would have been 100 this year and I remember his war stories well.
    1
  1861. Me too! (Although he actually said “ATTACKS on religion”. Anti-religious statements by the government etc).
    1
  1862.  @wolfmauler  - Thank you. I found the video you recommended, surprising to see in this day and age but I wouldn’t say there were ‘thousands’ on that march.
    1
  1863. Really? Where can I see photos?
    1
  1864.  @archstanton6102  - Well to be fair ‘A tax’ does sound EXACTLY like ‘Attacks’ so I suppose it’s open to interpretation!
    1
  1865. Me too! (Although he actually said “ATTACKS on religion”. Anti-religious statements by the government etc).
    1
  1866. A generic southern/Home Counties English one.
    1
  1867.  @dr.barrycohn5461  - True. 🇫🇷🏳️
    1
  1868. I guess it’s because they were one of the WW2 ‘major’ allies.
    1
  1869. Why So Serious - Not quite: google ‘Operation Aphrodite’.
    1
  1870. Datvik - No they weren’t. They were a dedicated ground-attack aircraft with a 1000lb bomb in the nose and the rocket only activated fo the final dive. They would have been completely impossible to use in an air-to-air role.
    1
  1871. Lightning449 - Yes, as he explains in the video.
    1
  1872. Joel McGrath - On her decorated broach in the photo.

  1873. britsboy 29 - Yes, because that’s what he was. Google him.

  1874. Bernhard Walter - Who?
    1
  1875. Camo Man - Elbe.
    1
  1876. LeckMichImArsch - Watch the bit in the video about the ‘Mistel’ drone.
    1
  1877. Ann Onymous - He’s already done videos on both of those.
    1
  1878.  @SirAntoniousBlock  - Absolutely. 17 people killed by cannon fire when a lone aircraft shot-up a train nearby, and my mother remembered her incident with a single bomb clearly for the rest of her life.
    1
  1879. Like many others, I didn’t know about this one. I do recall reading of a sole Arado Ar-234 which made a recon mission over Norfolk in the last few days of the war, but can’t remember the exact details.
    1
  1880. Sore losers. Just look at the recent women’s Euros!
    1
  1881. Elenna Pointer - It certainly looks like it.
    1
  1882. Sounds like my ex.
    1
  1883. I know of only one, at Samur, France.
    1
  1884. Briseur De Lance - I thought it was a Bren.
    1
  1885. Damp potato #36 - If you can get to IWM Duxford there’s a sectioned British X-class midget sub that you can walk through.
    1
  1886.  @tomhenry897  - He’s still alive? Wow.
    1
  1887. But it looked pretty though.
    1
  1888. No, late-model Shermans. The Pershing was much larger and lower.
    1
  1889. The Germans used them for internal security throughout France throughout the war, so I guess the French forces just took them over again.
    1
  1890. It’s a ‘home-made’ effort.
    1
  1891. Well of course who can forget the sight of dozens of knights in armour doing battle with the Germans in ‘Bedknobs and Broomsticks’?
    1
  1892. Wikipedia.

  1893. Close encounters of the blurred kind.

  1899. And from what vanquished nation do you hail from Sir?

  1900. Steven Connolly - Much smaller ones were indeed used.
    1
  1901. PAAJetClipperMonsoon#N415PA - Was a much smaller gun.
    1
  1902. That is covered early in the video (and in a previous video).
    1
  1903. Er no. No records of T-14s in service whatsoever.
    1
  1904. TheTrickster923 - Yes, that does sound very plausible.
    1
  1905. Benny Blanco - Look out for the TV miniseries ‘The trial of Hermann Goering’ - provides an interesting answer.
    1
  1906. And eighty years later we can’t even get out of Europe successfully.
    1
  1907. I know where there’s a few abandoned T-72s. (Quite a lot in fact).
    1
  1908. I would like to see a video about the ‘Ersatz Panthers’ modified to look like M10s.
    1
  1909. 6:33 - ‘Major Von Corkenhausen’ - Wasn’t he in Allo Allo?

  1910. One is featured in this very video!

  1912. I’ve seen a house fly.

  1913. What? I guess something lost in translation.
    1
  1914. Er no. It never left Britain. Watch the video for more information.

  1915. I like Prog Rock.

    1
  1922. Er, what nation that fields the F-15 could possibly oppose Israel? And remember, Israel fields the F-15 too!
    1
  1923. Er no. Iran has never been a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. (Nor was any middle-eastern country). Prior to 1979 they were a member of the Baghdad Pact. (Look it up).
    1
  1924. And after 1979, during the Iran-Iraq war Saddam Hussain was firmly in their good boys club.
    1
  1925. Er, not quite. The RAF retired its last buccaneers in March 1994, some nine years before the second gulf war.
    1
  1926. Jack Dale - Not really. An interesting fantasy concept though. In reality though, Britain’s sole jet aircraft at the time was a single example of the Gloster E.28/39, which lacked the range, speed, maximum altitude and endurance to get anywhere near the Junkers. Had it been even possible to fit guns, with their associated sighting, control, and ammunition systems (which it wasn’t) then this would have reduced the performance even more.
    1
  1927. snonsig - That’s correct, but the poster asked ‘Why didn’t the Brits send up a jet of their own to shoot-down the Ju68R-2?’
    1
  1928. Jack Dale - The first British jets (Meteors) did not enter combat service until 1944.
    1
  1929. I must say that I’m amazed at the number of comments from so-called armchair experts criticising the Royal Logistical Corps and offering their own solutions. The RLC are consummate professionals and have been doing this job for decades so I’m pretty sure they know what they’re doing.
    1
  1930. Carper?
    1
  1931. Er no. Check your history ref. Luftwaffe bombing of Britain, they were bombing us long before Churchill even became PM!

  1932. (Don’t mention the war).
    1
  1933. Well the video says 400 tons of the stuff.
    1
  1934. The city is in a hole? (*Whole).
    1
  1935.  @MrLeadb1  - No, sorry, it’s utter bollocks of the most complete kind, an internet rumour/conspiracy theory-type claptrap that first surfaced a few years ago, based on a tiny kernel of information about a few people that WERE killed by AA, which has grown into the ridiculous ‘10,000 plus’ nonsense that is completely baseless and without one shred of evidence whatsoever. The whole thing is as ludicrous as Qanon/Flat Earth/Chemtrail conspiracy theories and serious historians have always treated this with contempt.
    1
  1936. Absolute rubbish.
    1
  1937. Semtex wasn’t invented then. TNT or Amatol.
    1
  1938. Great little story.

  1939. Its appearance and flying qualities remind me of a daddy long-legs.

  1940. Rule Britannia!🇬🇧
    1
  1941. Time stamp?
    1
  1942. Time stamp?
    1
  1943. It doesn’t. The apparent ‘slow’ speed is an optical illusion caused by the electronic camera shutter syncing with the prop at certain speeds. It happens quite often with Tupolev TU-95 Bears too and there’s some hilarious footage of helicopters flying with rotors that don’t appear to be turning at all!😀
    1
  1944. What do you mean?
    1
  1945. Unlikely as it only saw service in Europe and North Africa.
    1
  1946.  @DaveSCameron - He’s a troll that posts that word on hundreds of videos. Quite sad really.
    1
  1947. He was also a coke head.

  1948. Er no. Blondi.
    1
  1949. The sort of woman Peggy Mount would have played!
    1
  1950. Reported for spamming.
    1
  1951. Refreshing absence of Americans commenting that the TU-160 is ‘a copy of the B-1’ which usually accompanies any video featuring it.
    1
  1952. I agree. Backfire-A looked far less intimidating than subsequent versions with it’s flat-ish intakes.
    1
  1953. Agreed, I’d love to witness one taking off!
    1
  1954. RAF vet here. I’d love to witness one taking off!

  1955. It’s not a laboratory!

  1956. ‘The little tank that could’
    1
  1957.  @SirAntoniousBlock  - That’s correct. A museum I would love to visit some day. Several other rare tanks there.
    1
  1958. Er, they did actually. Check your WW1 history for the first tanks.
    1
  1959. Considering the M-16 wasn’t around then that’s amazing! Time-travelling Secret Servicemen?
    1
  1960. Watch the video for the full story.
    1
  1961.  @Venividivicismike  - John Connery?
    1
  1962. Evocative music! My father took me to a matinee screening on the film’s release, only to discover that it was a ‘AA’ certificate (no one under 14). I was only 12 but my father somehow persuaded the cinema manager to let me in!
    1
  1963. That one stood in for the Arnhem bridge, the Nijmegen one was filmed at the original location.
    1
  1964. 1:45 - Could do with a bit of air in those tyres!

  1965. ‘Light blue touch-paper and stand well back’

  1966. # ‘The rockets’ red glare’ (Congreve rocket).

  1967. My late mother knew several soldiers who were held in Japanese POW camps and came back prematurely aged, spirits permanently broken by the experience.

  1970. It’s a very old map. A lot of the countries illustrated have changed names.
    1
  1971. Yes.
    1
  1972. Well to be honest they did eventually.
    1
  1973. Eh? What’s that?
    1
  1974. Hand crank.
    1
  1975.  @pedroparamo-fw6ez  - Please explain why you felt the need to post your original comment. How does it contribute to the discussion of the video subject matter? What is its relevance? (Other than just random anti-Semitism, which of course we all know it is).
    1
  1976.  @pedroparamo-fw6ez  - So what? Who cares? Why even mention it?
    1
  1977. Er, not according to this video!
    1
  1978. Huh?
    1
  1979. Wow. I didn’t realise inmates in ‘special’ hospitals were allowed internet access.
    1
  1980. Sadly as usual, this excellent channel has attracted some nasty comments from Nazi supporters. Including anti Semitic comments. I have just spent some time reporting them to YouTube for hate speech.
    1
  1981. I remember a fascinating TV documentary about him.
    1
  1982.  @wayneantoniazzi2706  - Well that’s not really the same thing, and hardly an ‘iron’ cross, we’re talking about the medal here, rather than the symbol. It’s the medal that people associate with Nazis.
    1
  1983.  @XxBloggs  - Sadly Mark’s videos that touch on anything to do with Nazis attract loads of comments from Nazi sympathisers, often antisemtic.
    1
  1984. No. It will be forever tainted by it’s WW2 associations.
    1
  1985. Watch the excellent film ‘Sophie Scholl’.
    1
  1986. Christopher Rasmussen - 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
    1
  1987. CKS1949 - Give up mate. No matter how many proven and undeniable facts you provide, and how much simple logic you may state, you can never win a argument with a conspiracy theorist. Their tiny brains work on a different level to normal people. Flat earthers, anti-vaxxers, 9/11 ‘truthers’ and religious zealots. All fruit loops of the first order.
    1
  1988. Colin Bluett - ‘Silver Plate’ wasn’t a physical thing, it was just a code name/designation for the B-29s equipped to carry the atomic bombs.
    1
  1989. Jason Rodgers - Yes! I remember the nose art on the RAF Buccaneer ‘Johnny Fartpants’ during the 1st gulf war.
    1
  1990. Joe Magnets - Absolutely! Every SS stormtrooper had the words ‘Gott mit uns’ (God’s with us) cast into their belt buckles.
    1
  1991. E Le - I believe you. Sadly it is a stigma that will continue to stain Germany for many years to come.
    1
  1992. Richard Rabinowitz - Watch the video.
    1
  1993. Paul Parsons - Unlikely, they’d be 100 years old or older.
    1
  1994. Jack Kikikikikolol - Wow, he must be at least 105 years old.
    1
  1995.  @displacedyankee7819  - Yep, looked closer on a 65” UHD TV and clearly is PIII/IV turret, absolutely nothing like a PII turret which was never used in Tobruks. The PII turret is VERY distinctive-looking because of its 20mm/MG armament.
    1
  1996. No, Panzer III/IV. (Panzer IIs were armed with a 20mm main gun and a coaxial MG).
    1
  1997. Exactly. We captured NINE fully-serviceable Arado AR-234 jet bombers and sent them all to the yanks for evaluation. They subsequently scrapped them all bar one, which is now the sole surviving example on the planet.
    1
  1998. Plus the big Junkers airliner (I forget the model number) that was copied by Mitsubishi. I believe it featured in the film ‘The wind rises’.
    1
  1999. Bassmint - BOOM!
    1
  2000. Shouldn’t we be calling them ‘Little person submarines’ in today’s pc-crazy world?
    1
  2001. Zorn Gottes - Yes, there’s plenty of all types in museums around the world.
    1
  2002. Alf Beef - Yes, I read that sadly he died, aged not as old as he’d like to have been.
    1
  2003. Well they’ve been there for over 80 years so I very much doubt there’s plans to remove them anytime soon!
    1
  2004.  @helenferris575  - You’re very welcome. Somewhat bizarrely (and frequently confusingly!) we often use a mixture of both for some things, but I would say that we use imperial measurements for about three-quarters of things, we drink our beer and milk in pints, we quote our height in feet and inches, and we drive for miles at miles-per-hour. But we use millimetres for small measurements, and our temperatures are in Celsius.
    1
  2005. We have always used yards, rather than metres where distances are concerned.
    1
  2006. My late mother said that she could see the red glow of London burning in the north, from about 35 miles away.
    1
  2007. ‘Lead paint. Delicious but deadly’
    1
  2008. I think he’s already done one.
    1
  2009. _ Hysteria _ - Bollocks. It’s just a documentary, and the music suits the subject. That’s all.
    1
  2010.  @shaider1982  - Yep that was one of the nicknames for it.
    1
  2011. I live a couple of hundred yards from that building (now converted to flats). I’ll check it out.
    1
  2012. Tocsin Bang! I served in No.2 Group Sector Control. During my time there I visited 2 posts, one next to the Control tower at RAF Northolt, and one under the lawn in the middle of Windsor Castle.
    1
  2013. Tocsin Bang!
    1
  2014. Highly unlikely that eighty years later any may still be ‘in service’. Mark has indeed done a couple of videos about WW2 vessels still in service with the world’s navies, sadly no R Boats though. As Mark says in the video, some survived until the 1960’s, but remember that’s sixty years ago now.
    1
  2015. Same with Queen’s Brian May.
    1
  2016. What do mean?
    1
  2017. Slightly more cerebral!
    1
  2018. Beer hall push? Sounds like a dance! 💃 (Putsch*).
    1
  2019. I had the same feeling when wandering around the ruins of once-beautiful Coventry Cathedral, destroyed by the Germans in 1940. ‘They have sown the wind, they shall reap the whirlwind.’ (By the way your figure of ‘hun of thousands’ is completely incorrect).
    1
  2020. Cake.
    1
  2021. Thanks for repeating exactly what is shown and discussed in the video for those that missed it.
    1
  2022. Really? Not the Europe I know and love. Try going there sometime and seeing for yourself.

  2023. # ‘Wake me up before you go-go’

  2024. My (male) German pen-pal was called Helga. I suppose it’s like ‘Lesley’ over here.
    1
  2025. It’s a common German name.
    1
  2026. Yes!
    1
  2027. It’s a common German name.
    1
  2028. I’ve got that book but have yet to get round to reading it.
    1
  2029. It’s a well-known story, but I agree a video by Mark would be fascinating.
    1
  2030. Yes, the other is in the Albert Hall.
    1
  2031. Er, this IS a video on Hitler’s supposed missing globe! 🌍
    1
  2032. Probably because this video actually started with scenes from the The Great Dictator! And the narrator even discussed it!
    1
  2033. Mark Felton Productions - War comic German death: ‘Aaaaaagh!’ War comic Japanese death: ‘Aiieeeeeee!’
    1
  2034. Looks like Hitler Youth/Bund Deutscher Madchen queuing up for a tour or presentation.
    1
  2035. They did not drop those super-size bombs on the Berghof, such bombs were reserved for ultra-hardened targets such as U-boat pens etc. I’ve personally seen the damage/craters such bombs leave when I visited the Watten Blockhaus. (Well worth a visit by the way).
    1
  2036. Yes, I’ve seen footage of the remains of the big window with American soldiers inspecting it. Might be worth googling.
    1
  2037. It simply closed down when the owner died. (It may reopen in the future with a new owner)
    1
  2038. Unlikey. Awaiting new owners I hear.
    1
  2039. The tea house is intact and can be visited today. Mark Felton has done a few videos about it. Perhaps google it for tourist info?
    1
  2040. A sound effect for dramatic purposes.

  2041. ThePleasant1 - No, that’s just a silly rumour.

  2042. S B - Fencing.
    1
  2043. El Vibora - It was a pose during a portrait shoot.
    1
  2044. BLAQUEKINKIVAN - What does ‘studly’ mean?
    1
  2045. Steven Dolman - I’m English and have never heard that word before. Origin/definition?
    1
  2046. Deibama - No, that was about D-Day, 6 months before the events featured in this video.
    1
  2047. Michael Halbert - Yes, just like he explains in the video.
    1
  2048. NORMAN DATE - Watch the video for the answer.
    1
  2049. Old Timer - No. watch the video near the end for details of his later life in Europe.
    1
  2050. Dave Holcomb - No record of any association with Martin Borman.
    1
  2051. lame soldat - No, that came later, around the time of the Rhine crossing. Footage from around that time often shows jeeps fitted with anti-wire rails.
    1
  2052. Collette Sipho Mabingani - Huh?
    1
  2053. What?
    1
  2054. Building an airbase with a runway long enough to accommodate supersonic jets is quite a lengthy, costly process. The logistics involved in such an operation would be incredible. And there’s nowhere near Stanley suitable).
    1
  2055. An enemy military aircraft, on a military mission, carrying military supplies during wartime?
    1
  2056.  @deanrobinson4129  - No problem. I agree it’s unlikely we could send a sizeable task force now, but take heart in that Argentina’s forces are MUCH further depleted than our own, almost non-existent.
    1
  2057. *Britain.
    1
  2058. A military aircraft on a military mission carrying military supplies during wartime?
    1
  2059. Not really.
    1
  2060. Interesting but I doubt it. Massive political ramifications if killed or captured. I also heard a rumour of an American mercenary fighting with the Argentinians who was killed but again I doubt if that was true.
    1
  2061. An enemy military plane on a military mission carrying military supplies during wartime?
    1
  2062. No British air-to-air combat in that conflict. Plenty of air-to-ground though!
    1
  2063. I did. What has a current AI project got to do with a minor war 42 years ago?
    1
  2064. What?
    1
  2065. Religion and various so-called ‘gods’ are responsible for most wars.
    1
  2066. John john - This is precisely why we should take America back into the bosom of the empire. Bloody colonials. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
    1
  2067. Glam Stachee - No this is brand new.
    1
  2068. Vern Etzel - No.
    1
  2069. What is a ‘marchrute’?
    1
  2070. When was that in U.K skies?
    1
  2071. Yes, England is indeed part of the U.K. Your geography teacher would be proud!
    1
  2072. He’s a poet but he don’t know it!
    1
  2073. A myth. You can’t just ‘fast convert’ a civilian airliner to a bomber! (I used to work on glazed-nosed TU-134s).
    1
  2074. What?
    1
  2075. ‘Look at this surveillance photograph. The man on the left is very high up in the British Security Service, and the man on the right is very high up in the man on the left,’.
    1
  2076. I guess they’ve been watching this video in Ukraine and taking notes!🇺🇦
    1
  2077. I actually quite like the East German helmet. A strange German/Russian crossover.
    1
  2078.  @Pygar2  - That’s the one! Thank you.
    1
  2079. A fascinating and concise video, packed with info. I’m now off to find out about the German WW1 helmet with the spike on top.

  2080. Thora Hird casually taking out Jerry with a Lee-Enfield.
    1
  2081. Correct.👍

    1
  2094. Boom boom boom?
    1
  2095.  @craigbeaumont414  - Thanks for the reply. If it was a WW1 tank then it’s likely to have been a MKIV as there’s only one MK1 surviving (in the Tank Museum at Bovington). I’ll do some Googling.
    1
  2096. Do you know what type of tank?
    1
  2097. Jason Almendra - Horrywood!

  2103. I didn’t know that MiG-15s ever had a run-in with Valiants! Where and when did that happen?
    1
  2104. Watch the video for the answer.
    1
  2105.  @raymondkisner9240  - Definitely NOT! Avro named all their bombers at the time after British cities, hence Manchester/Lancaster/Lincoln.

  2109. Thanks for repeating exactly what he says in the video for those that missed it.
    1
  2110.  @paulgerrard9227  - Yes I know, but that still didn’t stop that dumb yank from stuffing a load of dollar bills into an envelope and mailing them to me without asking or even telling me first! I suppose if I were a dishonest person I could have messaged him to say payment never arrived but I’m not like that.

    1
  2122. Yes. It’s the only way to get there.
    1
  2123. No need. The island is very small with only one town.
    1
  2124. Thank you! 🙏
    1
  2125. Sea state always far too rough for sea planes, and yes, the volcano has been extinct for thousands of years.
    1
  2126. It’s a regular port of call for cruise ships throughout the year.
    1
  2127.  @talknight2  - Not any more. This sailing was the last one.
    1
  2128. A bit moot really as this was its last voyage. All go by air now.

    1
  2133. There is another cargo-only ship for large/heavy cargo that makes a monthly trip from Cape Town.
    1
  2134. No, because this was the ship’s last voyage. It doesn’t exist anymore.
    1
  2135. Pretty much!
    1
  2136. What on earth is ‘Nimpysim’?
    1
  2137. Nope. Completely free of it.
    1
  2138. No, there’s NO rationing.
    1
  2139. I could give you a HUGE list of reasons!
    1
  2140. No ships now. Everything comes in by air.
    1
  2141. I would imagine so. I will find out. By the way Pitcairn is DESPERATE for people to move there!
    1
  2142. Yes but patchy. Improvements coming.
    1
  2143. Neither.
    1
  2144. No. Airliners fly in from South Africa.

    1
  2149. Google?
    1
  2150. No I don’t think so. The documentary is by Deutsche Welle so I would guess the narrator is German.
    1
  2151. Try Pitcairn, even scarier!
    1
  2152. Because that’s the correct way.
    1
  2153. There is a ship for large/heavy cargo (no passengers) that sails from Cape Town once a month.
    1
  2154.  @papaloukazbehram212  - Absolutely my friend. Almost everything comes in and out of the airport now. The only exception is particularly heavy and/or bulky cargo which still travels by ship.
    1
  2155. For the same reason there’s no passenger liners any more. Aircraft.
    1
  2156. No need. Everything comes by air now.
    1
  2157. No. The only connection is now by air from South Africa.

    1
  2160. On the plane? That’s how everything gets there now.
    1
  2161. No. He was a prisoner there. There were no ‘conjugal visits’ in those days!
    1
  2162. And of course the BMD is the ‘sports’ model.

    1
  2175. Tacticalshadow04 Tacticalshadow04 - What’s what? Surely you can’t mean ‘what is a book’? But anyway, there are two excellent books on the subject, both available from amazon and well recommended.
    1
  2176. Tacticalshadow04 Tacticalshadow04 - Well, the tour operatives stretched the rules of what they were allowed to do to the extremes! Read the excellent book ‘Brixmis’ which gives a full history and many first-hand accounts in great detail.
    1
  2177. Kingstondivepro - Thanks. That’s the agreement I was trying to reference.👍
    1

  2189.  @miltonlivramento4810  - Please explain what your posting of a meaningless symbol by way of reply to my comment about my late father’s gun has to do with the subject of the video, bearing in mind YouTube’s rules about keeping comments on-topic. I look forward to reading your detailed explanation.
    1
  2190.  @miltonlivramento4810  - No thank you I’ve already eaten.
    1
  2191.  @jezzeyy  No, my father WAS in the Royal Sussex Regiment and WAS issued with a a Thompson. are you saying you knew him better than me? And what’s with the 💀? This is commonly seen as a death threat, so I have reported you to YouTube for harassment, bullying and making threats. Now go away and let the adults discuss the video topic.
    1
  2192.  @jezzeyy  - I’ve read it. Possibly the worst example of children’s fiction I’ve ever read. Harry Potter is FAR superior.
    1
  2193.  @jezzeyy  - I don’t, because you can’t hate something invented by man that doesn’t exist (nor has ever existed). What I hate is religion (all of them). Pure evil mind poison responsible for more human suffering than anything else. I am a lifelong member of The British Secular Society, which campaigns against religious brainwashing and will continue to militantly rail against and denigrate religion at every possible opportunity. Please try to follow YouTube rules and only make comments that are relevant to the topic of the video.
    1
  2194.  @jezzeyy  - Why post controversial completely off-topic comments? Against YouTube rules and you’ll bound to get burned. Perhaps you could suggest some videos discussing religious topics in which I could post some off-topic comments about machine guns?
    1
  2195.  @jezzeyy  - Oh so he’s YOUR boyfriend! Apologies. (But As I said, I’m not a homosexual). No, Jesus NOT my father either because Jesus never existed. I studied history and classicism, specialising in the late roman period, and can absolutely assure you that the early Christian cult is most DEFINITELY based on Mithras, with adoption of the pagan spring and winter solstice festivals dovetailed-in to represent the fictitious ‘Christ’s birth and zombie resurrection, in fact I wrote a non-published dissertation on that very subject whilst at Cambridge, so I like to think I know what I’m talking about when it comes to ancient cultish myths.
    1
  2196.  @jezzeyy  - No he doesn’t because he never existed, a silly myth based on the Roman god Mithras. And besides, even if he did, I’m not gay, so he’d have to find another boyfriend.
    1
  2197.  @Paddington60 - That’s correct.👍

  2198. My uncle had a Welbike (in Post Office red).

  2202. Looks great! Can they get them into the shops for Christmas?
    1
  2203.  @CoolGuy-hh4lg  - No he was a myth based on the Roman god Mithras, no evidence whatsoever that he ever existed.

  2226. fresh frozen - The ‘Islamic revolution’ toppled the Shah in 1979. At the time of this video (1984) Iran was most definitely on our bad boys list and was certainly NO ally!

  2234.  @danielkrcmar5395  - I’m sure the families of those who died fighting the tyranny of fascism would disagree! Thanks to their sacrifices, England’s citizens (and those of the other countries in the union) are free from being persecuted for their race, religion or creed.

  2287.  @Backwardlooking  ‘1964/1965 are the early 1960’s’ - interesting. So I guess by that reckoning 1968/1969 are the MID 1960s then? 😝🤓
    1
  2288. It’s first flight was in 1965. I don’t think kits of it were produced until the very late 60s/early 70s.

  2298.  @scipioprime69  - True. The latest I can find on Wikipedia is this: ‘On 13 May 2022, a production planning of United Aircraft Corporation at the Voronezh Aircraft Production Association plant showed that the production of components for 6 PAK DA was ongoing. The planning also confirmed that several PAK DA prototypes were still expected to be built between 2023 and 2026. Work on the schedule was further warranted by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, explaining that the sanctions following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine would not affect the timing of the creation of the PAK DA as the bomber does not contain any foreign components.’ I was wondering if anyone knew any more about the project.
    1
  2299. Anyone know anything about the PAK-DA? (Russia’s stealth bomber).
