Awww thank you xx

It moved me to tears too and I've been to RAF Scampton x

Jolly decent and very magnanimous of you to say; your boys and girls also act as magnificent ambassadors for your Service too. Brothers (and Sisters!) in arms.

Sir Thank You for your Service Fellow Air Force Veteran from a US Air Force Veteran .

@soaringtractor ==> Perhaps had you spent more time reading history and less time devoted to jack-assery, you'd know a little more about the contributions of those "limeys" during WWII. As it is, you just excel at pitiable ignorance and inexcusable disrespect.

soaringtractor Your ignorance is almost beyond belief, your hatred of anything British simply so obvious, as is your obsequiousness.

soaringtractor......Prick

The air man who flew gave their lives

well said

woody ramsey Fully agreed!

woody ramsey Thank you for your words of wisdom.

Well said that man.

Amen. Also from Texas.

I've always held a deep respect for the gallant crewmen of the Lancasters, as well as those individuals who were responsible for the technology behind the "bouncing" bombs. God keep them all. God keep The RAF. -- a USAF vet.

@@walterfechter8395 Thank You Fellow US Air Force Veteran for your Service . My dad was a WWII (aka the war to end all wars) US Navy Veteran . Dad was in the Pacific Theater during the war.

A huge debt owed by all modern nations to people who had to lay their lives on the line every day during the war. I am just reading about the pilots and Airmen, many of whom suffered severe physical and mental injuries in the course of their duties and many of whom returned to the fight after recuperation from those challenges.

Respect

God bless your Dad.

Insperato62 - Respect for your Dad - a special kind of love and courage right there.

My father was an escapee from Singapore, part of an official group comprising 20 men from the East Surreys (my fathers unit) and 20 men from the Leicestershires. He turned up in Ceylon some 6 months later and he never said anything about what had happened in between, but he perhaps was part of this group?

@@derekambler I suspect not. My father never mentioned being involved with Army troops, only RAF personnel ordered by the maligned Percival to "escape" - their expertise being in the air, not in ground fighting! However, being from Bedfordshire my dad was disgusted that the Bedfordshire Regiment was disembarked at Singapore to go straight into imprisonment. The war in Singapore was already lost, but that was Churchill's order. Upon his return to his home town dad was continually asked if he had seen such and such a lad from the Beds. He could not say (official secrets act) neither could he tell their parents that their sons had been sacrificed in vain. He felt bitter. He never liked Churchill.

Iam proud of thee airmen of 617 Squadron, that will live forever. 🙌✌️

The USA has exhibited equally maginifent parades. Not taking ANYTHING away from THIS parade. It is at the pinnacle of possible execution, certainly!!!!

@@thomassicard3733 can you direct me to such a video. Thank you...

The Lancaster Belongs to the veterans. Their friend. Must of gladdened their hearts to see her after such a long time. Respect

ahahahahahahahah your history is priceless all right every day of your history is full of killings of innocent patriots in every part of the of the world that you step a foot from India to Africa to Asia to America to Europe and every other place that i can think of blood blood blood all in the name of your incest kings and queens If the world ever decide to pay you back you will have to hide in active volcanos its gonna be cooler than their punishment You put Hitler and Stalin to shame for they only did it for a few years but youre doing it for centuries like blood thirsty thieving barbarians that you are That dead empire of yours looks like dying old lion loosing their hair and teeth Your priceless history is full felonies and only war crimes Youre the only country that occupies European land the year 2023 and you have the nerve to accuse Putin of trying to do the same in Ukraine Return the stolen goods back to the colonies before they come and take them by force What a history

Well said Sir 👍🇬🇧

Paul Findlay good old Ward

Delta 852 he must have a good voice to give commands

Bulletz4Flight he always did have a good drill voice

@@tendelta8524 can anyone give me videos on Flight Officer Ward

I agree .

a bit of news the east kirkby linc lanc Just Jane is being worked on ready to return to the air

We have to thank our Australian Friends the famous POP Group the BEE GEES whose effort and organisation assisted in producing the Memorial tribute to Bomber Command. When after the war, the British government overlooked the cost to that Command in human lives when the Bomber Crews were not even recognised, nor were they awarded distinguishing Medal awards. God Bless them all, they paid a very heavy price. Along with our close colleagues and real friends, Australia, New Zealand,Canada and America and of course Poland and in fact members of many nationalaities who flew those costly missions against the NAZIS.Proud to have served in the Royal Air Force. Terry Offord.

@@terryofford4977 Fellow Veteran Thank You for your Service to your country in the RAF ! I'm a Vietnam / Cold War Era US Air Force Veteran . Cheers Mate !

@soaringtractor once again you display your total ignorance of this subject and blind anti-brit prejudice; obviously Harris's tactics were so poor they were copied and put into effect by Gen Curtis LeMay as soon as he took over command of the B-29 force in the Pacific. You clearly are not familiar with the quote: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.”

. . . at the going down of the sun, and in the morning.

I'll second that

ArthosBlue I'll third that.

Unfortunately the British establishment and a lot of the politicians are trying to take them away :(

Agree.

soaringtractor. Love how your speaking English lovie darling. Do yourself a favor and get a proper education.

What SQN you from

9 flight 2 squadron

In my opinion I would say the Stirling or Halifax were the best bombers

​@@chillout1996 Would you? Why?

+Wm Anthony We will remember them.

True to their motto STRIKE HARD STRIKE SURE the brave young men of Bomber Command pressed on regardless , thank God for their courage, we will remember them.

Put them Scum to the rope

I shall make them swab the poopdeck

Just step around as you would around something a dog left behind.

They are not forgotten.

Absolutely!🇨🇦 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧

Indeed

Peter May it never has been and never will be forgotten this will always happen

The tradition of the RAF started in Iraq in the 1920's by the bombing of villages and the slaughter of civilians by bomber Harris.

@@Carhuclough Robert Bennett kindly move to a middle eastern country where no doubt you'll be welcome

@@johnfrancis2215 Other than Syria, Lebanon and Iran, most of the ME 'countries' are creations of the British and the British air force is still bombing Iraq and propping up dictatorships in the area. Nevertheless, thanks for the suggestion.

please make time, stop and remember the sacrifice so many people made for our freedom, 11 hour 11 day 11 month every year

The UK was enslaving half the world in 1943.

anthony sharp Good disco’s at Scampton in late 60’s early 70’s, did Coningsny, Waddington, R A F Hospital Nocton Hall and not forgetting R A F Spitalgate😉. All from Cranwell. Played hard after working hard. “Illigitimi non carborundum”

Trek001 It's correct, he should salute. The custom in uniform is to salute all national anthems. You'll notice, for example, when Obama visited the UK, the armed forces of each nation saluted the other's Anthem, as well as their own.

Trek001 it's a sign of respect and as you are in uniform you must salute or it is shown as disrespect I'm in the air cadets and when I'm in uniform I must salute to a officer if I'm in uniform if I'm not I must look at him for 5 seconds then back to show respect to him/her

Trek001 a

I'll buy the man a pint any time he chooses...not out of courtesy, but simple respect...

Trek001 not a US Marine but a salute would be rendered

you can, practise for about 5 years, non stop

@@paikiabandboy Well, it's a very simple passage. I play it great (but would love for it to be on our next concert). Practicing non-stop, even for one day, would surely result in injured chops. I've been playing cornet/trumpet for about 3.5 years, but I used to play French horn in the Houston Symphony, so I had a huge head start on learning trumpet.

+iConsoleGamer Just make sure you never join the real thing. Although a good experience, but also a bad one as well. It changes you and you can never change back.

+Mark Norville Bad thing?

NextGenerationGaming The forces before the 90's was mainly getting drunk, having a laugh and doing as little work as possible, it was a comfy number. However today we are World War 3 even though it is not called that, but in reality it is, and the worse is yet to come. The monarchy nor government have any love or respect towards us, we are just pawns taken in and spat out. Veterans are sleeping rough in our streets and yet immigrants are given housing before them, says a lot really.

Falklands? Is that a laugh? Anyways nowadays our forces are so stretched, i have a sibling in the forces and they are so stretched with the new WIldcat weapons platform they have more pilots than crew and can only commit 1 to any operation at one time

NextGenerationGaming The Falklands was a one off incident in 1982 it was the only time in a long while that we had actually fought a war. After that all was quiet, now we are constant war.
