Another great video

With the expertise of a aviation expert we dug the small remains of a very rare He 177 German bomber that was shot down by a Mosquito it crashed and burned on one of our fields in Essex UK, i believe some crew survived, we found 13mm bullets, perspex and I have a big lump of melted aluminium. Obviously the RAF had cleared up most of the wreck during the war, good work cheers

Isn't it so unique the things you can discover through a by chance encounter. Such a stroke of luck getting to talk to the gentleman who witnessed the plane crashing all those years ago. Thank you guys!

What you are looking at is part of the wing main spar. From 16:25 t0 16:43, you can see the wing ribs attached to it. The brass fittings at 16:42 are possibly part of the fuel system, as is the tube you see at 22:18. The number on the frame is possibly a part number or serial number. Well done on your research, outstanding find!

You have THE most interesting history channel on KZfaq! Your research is flawless! What an interesting story of the wreck and then going to the location and finding it! And then, talking to the locals who added context to the story! OUTSTANDING! Thank you so much for taking us along on these adventures! Stay safe and stay well!

What an epic find. Makes you wonder how much more is buried in the ground if a tractor couldn't pull it out. Thank you and EE for taking us to see this piece of history.

That is so very very special and the gentleman who was 4 at the time who came and told his memories ... just amazing. Thankyou HH and EE !

So amazing to find even that piece still out in the open. A tribute to the Lancaster builder that so many parts have survived. Great history in the stories and your research. EE found the number, of course, living up to his name.

HH and EE, we owe you such a debt of gratitude! One day in the not too distant future, much of these fascinating historical things will be gone, rusted away or blown up or looted by souvenir hunters. Your hard work and obvious joy in doing it, are making a very serious contribution to the recording and preservation of information about significant human history! Thank you both, and BBG too, for all that you do. I’m very proud to be a member of the team and look forward to more interesting and exciting episodes! ❤️❤️❤️

Fascinating find! So glad you got to talk to them and find out about what that young man saw all those years ago

Thank you for sharing that story. It's incredible what the pilots went thought during the war. And thank you and your son with all of these finds and story's you tell the world.

Another amazing location HH. It’s a pity there is not more wreckage located there, as it would add to the story of this aircraft. We really appreciate the time and effort that you put into bringing these adventures to us. Stay safe, and cheers from Australia 🇦🇺!

I love your enthusiasm and pure joy in finding this historic relic!!! So cool to hear somebody loving what they do and appreciating history!

What an amazing find, 80 years buried in the ground, with locals not even knowing. I am glad the crew came home to rest after the war. Thank you for sharing with us, and I do hope we get to hear more about this site. Stay safe and well my friends, and a very good spot by EE on that serial number

Thank you HH and EE. Your hard work is much appreciated.

Another great adventure my friend! Getting to meet the locals and learning more just adds to it all on a very personal level. You and EE had an epic trip!

It's sad to think of the crew members lost on the aircraft but, what an amazing find, and for no one to really know about it being there is just wow! Thank you both for sharing this and as always " Good Hunting "

A truly incredible find! And incredible work you put into finding all these things. Thanks again for your incredible work!

I bet there is a Merlin engine deep in the bog,. Most of the Lancaster might be deeper down, needs a professional excavation of the site. Thank you, great video.

It's great that you do research so that you understand what you find, but your sense of awe makes it that much better.

It is just awesome being able to see and touch something from WWll. Cause so much has been lost over the years. I've been collecting stuff for a long time and now my kids are doing the same.

Amazing work on the model planes. Can't get enough of my favourite, actually only WW2 history channel that I watch. You seem to always connect with someone that knows some personal history on some of those events. Thank you for sharing their stories. Its sad, that at some time in the future, historical events pertaining to this era may be forgotten. Thank you for keeping them alive as we learn from past history. Sad for the pilot and crew who died. They must not be forgotten. ❤ Thanks once again HH & EE.

Thank you so much for this exploration! Its hard to believe that its still there and you had access to it. EE is just amazing! I would've never seen those numbers either. Hes a very special young man and I've loved seeing him grow up. This small piece of history would have been lost forever if not for you and EE. Thanks again for all of your research and hard work. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯

Why people would want to skip parts of your videos is beyond me, you create the best videos and explores going.......just like this one 👍🏻

Part of the wing spar of the Lancaster from the looks of it. Being one of the most solid structural pieces of the aircraft, it is no surprise it survived the crash, and to see it still in place, almost 80 years later. Amazing. It has probably survived this long because, especially nowadays, hardly anyone knows it's there, and hopefully, it stays that way, so future HH's can re-discover this amazing piece of lost History. And well done to EE, for spotting that serial number. Living up to his nickname again, and again. Great stuff! Thank you both for sharing this remarkable find with us. Definitely one of THE most incredible pieces of History you have ever found. Cheers to you both! Stay well, stay safe, stay dry!

😮 looking at the wrecked parts of the Lancaster. Knowing that the crew didn't survive is 😢. My mother was living in New Jersey near Lakehurst in 1937. Her father drove them to see the wreckage of the German Air ship. She is 98 now living in assisted living. ❤✌️👍

Awesome work guys! Thanks for all the content!

Thanks for this video… My great grandfather was rank LAC in the Second World War with 617sqdrn RAF, based out of RAF Scampton. I have a personal soft spot for the Lancaster and this period of history. I’m currently serving in the RAF and watching videos like these gives me a huge sense of gratitude not only for my grandfather but for the many men that flew and unfortunately lost their lives in the planes that he looked after. Great video

Just again how much your attention and information gathering put into finding these locations. I watched with interest again with my son and it is just respectful how you bring it

What an interesting finding, HH! And to get a story from a bystander is fantastic!!! I love this!!!❤

Fantastic job of researching this and making the discovery. Quite rare to find someone alive who witnessed WW2 now, glad you got to spend some time with them. RAF Waddington in the UK have a heritage centre where the parts of a recovered Lancaster bomber are displayed. The bomber flew from Waddington and crashed in Scotland.

History Hunter, Thanks to you and Eagle Eyes for the great videos you put on KZfaq. You are my favorite youtuber.

Good job guys ! Love the wreck searching videos , EE is right in his element.

Wowsers! Thank you HH and EE for showing us this. I live now not very far from on of the Commonwealth training bases where bomber crews were trained during the war. Very interesting to see how much of the Lancaster still remains. Am very excited for any follow episode you do with the newly acquired information.

Great video! Relaying the eyewitness account of the bomber (and crew) last moments, coupled with panning your camera from the wreckage to the sky, made me visualize the entire scene as if I was there. You provided a voice for the wreckage after almost 80 years.

What an amazing find! Thank you for all your work, both of you.

Another excellent adventure HH and EE! Lucky stroke running into the locals and learning more about the crash site! Looking forward to the next adventure!

Many would say this is a piece of scrap metal. You are one of the few who seek out this kind of history and there are many of us who thank you for yours and Eagle Eyes hard work !

❤ Wow!!! Your research definitely paid off on this adventure. And meeting the elderly gentleman with his childhood memories of the aircraft and location. Very special adventure and explore. Thank you sharing. Keep up the excellent work History Hunter team ❤

My uncles B17 was shot down in Germany, and doesn't show up on crash site maps. Going in for a crash landing and clipped a treeline. Several members died, several taken as POW's.

So amazing, Lancaster my favourite plane seen the plane very close and in flight. Thank you for sharing.

Thankyou for another interesting and informative show about WW2 of which my dad was in the RAF

Completely amazing report. Thank you from the UK.

The fact its sitting waterlogged land could mean there is more below the surface great find. Any serial numbers off parts may give an identity to the aircraft and crew. Keep up the good work 👏

That was very exciting...... thanks for all the amazing information.... good job.... ❤️

Wow! What a find. Well done HH and Eagle Eyes😊 such nice touch taking the model to the wreck. Brilliant!

Haven't watched in a while and huge back log of videos! Still 100% love them!!!

The fact that the piece of wreckage shown was assembled 10 minutes down the road from me at Woodford Aerodrome is crazy, nice job on the video!

Did you notice the airplane shape of the clouds at 13:07? Literally as you spoke about the plane being on fire and pointed to the sky, a beautiful image of your words right there in the clouds ❤

Thanks! I loved this episode. Course anything with aircraft gets my full attention. That part is may belong to rudder section. Lower. As always stay safe and thank you both.

Love your enthusiasm and passion for the hunt - thanks for sharing

Thank you❣️ What a great video! I hope this helps with future History hunting trips!

We must never forget this is a war grave and stands as testimony to the brave young men on both sides that gave their todays to give us tomorrows.

Great video, very touching and well done. God bless the brave crew who perished all those years ago. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We will ALWAYS remember you and all of the other war heroes/victims.

Finding a airplane, cool! Another great find, thanks again for all your efforts and travels.

Thank you my Brother from the U.S! Definitely love to come there and hunt! Thanks again for the Amazing videos and finds!

Eagle Eyes his name says it all. nice find on a piece to go with model plane and spotting numbers too. you two rock the casbah. can't wait for more!!!!!!!!

Great work. Love you guys. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Love the way kids can make toys out of anything

How cool it must have been to meet that old man who remembered the crash. Heck, I would have to take him down to the local pub for a counter lunch and a couple of quiet ones. The stories he must have. So cool. Take care guys.

Awesome video and great job guys! Thank you!

Extraordinary discovery especially with the witness statement to support the wreckage. Good spotting EE, you are doing your nickname justice.

Another brilliant video! I'm just reading Paul Nichols Lancaster book (Lancaster: The Forging of a Very British Legend) regarding losses such as this, the crews that survived and crews such as this that did not. This brings this book regarding the war years back into the modern day - what a find! Thanks HH and EE!

Excellent find HH, of course only EE would find the assembly numbers. It is a surprise that it is still there. Kids using the aluminum for rocket fuel, the aluminum there has a high magnesium content. They would spend a lot of time grinding it into powder, but they were Germans who pioneered fuels. The initial fuel being kerosene and aluminum, powder, having worked with it, it is hot burning. Another great video my friend, this was an epic trip. Stay safe and well both of you.

Thank you for yet another great video, You would be one of THE best, if not the best you tube channels I watch. Great work.

Awesome video, thanks for giving us a lens into the past!

Thank you for taking us with you and honoring history.

How fascinating to find such a huge piece of the lancaster wreckage! Such an interesting story of the people living in the area. And the treat of EE finding pieces and spotting numbers. ❤

I am an Aviation Archeologist, I got into the field after discovering a crashed F-94 Starfire while out hiking with my daughters. Ironically in the 1970's a F-100 super sabre crashed near my parents house before they owned the property. I went to the crash site and never found anything. When my parents sold the house when they got too old. While cleaning out under their barn I found a huge piece of the fuselage that was once used to patch the barn roof.

It was great to see an airplane. Does look like a wing piece. Take care and be safe out there. Thanks for the story too, that adds a lot to the discovery.

What a great find and a amazing story two keep up the great work you two.

I always find your videos intriguing and wish I could be with you on a trip through history. Good luck with your history explorations.

As I am watching this a number of WW2 planes are flying around, they are visiting a local Commemorative Air Force base about 5 miles away. Ive seen a Dakota, the DC 3 that was used for paratroop drops, and it's painted in Invasion stripes! This is a very fun and exciting video!

Only you and EE could put the amount of effort and dedication in tracking down and finding this part of a Lancaster bomber. Thank you for sharing this adventure my friends. Take care, be safe and stay healthy..

Another very interesting video. History is all around. Sometimes people just need a nudge to look for it. We can always count on EE to find just one more thing. ... You learned something from the child witness, other people learned from you, and they will tell additional people. The ripple effect continues onward. ..... It's appreciated that people at the time gave the crew a respectful burial. ... Keep well.

Great video, the wings for Lancasters were built in on the industrial estate next to my primary school before transport to Woodford for assembly to the fuselage. They still have the air raid siren test it out, at playtime we got scared that ww3 had started!

You guys are awesome! Thanks for taking us along!

Yet again another awesome video can’t wait for the next.

I actually think this is the main front spar of the plane but upside down. The part that is in the ground is actually the part that was in the plane behind the radio-operator. The four eyes on the top are actually the attachement points for the large clamps for the middle (large) bombs in the bomb bay. Thats a pretty unique part of the lancaster bomber. Love your videos! Keep it up!

Thank you for showing us one of the most amazing things I will ever see a real part of history

always a pleasure for your educational vids.

It’s unbelievable that it’s still there. I guess with many people not knowing it is there has helped to keep it from disappearing. What is left has survived quite well. Even aluminum will corrode away in certain conditions. Meeting an eye witness was a miracle. Most people are probably not around anymore to tell the story. Hearing it from an old timer is something Eagle Eyes will remember for the rest of his life as well as all the adventures he has shared with his Dad. Great job researching and bringing us this piece of history.

God bless you. I pray for you and your family to be blessed with health and support. You are a true encouragement to us.

What a find! Thanks for the video!

First of all thank you to the crewmen of that Lancaster for their services and sacrifice during the war RIP 🙏 too all the crew 🙏 thank you both for showing this and telling the story admire you both i didn't know about this 😔😔 I will look for this in my ww2 crashed aircraft books❤

That is the most amazing thing so far , 100% impressed , very well done , but i am sad to think of the links to the air crews families who would never see them again .senseless losses on both sides . RIP forever young .

That's frickin awesome dad and son exploring history together

Fantastic as always thanks for sharing very cool find 😎

That is really cool. Great find. Whomever gets the model and the piece of plane is going to be very happy. Very nice!!

In irony just yesterday, while we were out shopping, putting the groceries into our truck, the Lancaster flew almost directly over the store. The plane is one of two (still airworthy) Lancaster aircraft left in the world. We have seen it up close at the aircraft museum, and touched it. The sound! The sound of those engines! We saw her up close being started one time and taking off. One can try to imagine dozens of them taking off, it would be deafining to the ears. I watched the aircraft dissappear into the distance, thinking of all the people who fought in the war.... Thank you for posting, it totally mesmerized me.

Great video, great find. Really enjoying your videos. Catching up on older ones too. Love the history!

Crazy find! Whole fricking plane in the ground! Wow.

One of the two airworthy Lancasters that is in the UK often flies right over my house during the summer months on its way to and from the different air shows. It's an amazing sight and sound. Great video thank you ✌️ 😎

I myself am a history buff, & I'm so happy that you found this aircraft. Run that number that you found & see if it'll tell you the history of the air crew, I.E. names, ranks & serial numbers. Once again congratulations on the find. That's real Indy Jones stuff there. 🤠

Another fun episode, full of history. During WWII there was also a lot of bombing in the Netherlands by the Nazis. A special find the aircraft engine, but the story is even better.

You should record the conversation so it isn't forgotten. That man is a source of knowledge that is vanishing and should be preserved.

Utterly fantastic from you and Eagle eyes.

What a spectacular piece of a downed British aircraft. Thank you, history hunter and Eagle Eye's Eli.

Wow, that was amazing, but at the same time a bit sad, shame it and its crew it seems are mostly forgotten? Would like to see it in a museum or maybe a memorial plaque attached to it, but then I guess there must be thousands of similar objects with similar to go with them. As always another brilliant video, you guys are truly remarkable in what you do, well done and thank you! 👍

Thoroughly Enjoyed a job well done
