The good old days

Enjoyed the video, now listening to Cocteau Twins on KZfaq, thank you.

The start of pedestrianisation of Carlton Street. Castleford...July 7th, 1985 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hr6TnZSIl8_Uc6s.html&ab_channel=251hanomag

The cones in the middle of the road at 2:48 Are for the instalation of traffic lights. Nowadays that would be a couple of weeks of three way traffic lights, & nobody working on it !

Wow not heard Cocteau Twins for a few decades. Had a GF that always played Bluebeard

Those were the days, but we didn't realise it !!

That's my Dad and brother walking down Carlton Street 1 minute in!!! 😮❤

Looks like the same shit tip its always been.

I lived in leeds from september 2010 to june 2011. From canada. Fond memories

Just wondering. I’ve flown a Spitfire XVI, Sea Fury, Harvard . I’m a civilian pilot with lots of tail wheel time ie Cessna 185 and 180. When I strarted rebuilding the Spit. I noticed most of the War bird crashes were flown by Military pilots. Could it be they are not well trained enough and are given credit for being better than they really are when it comes to these aircraft?

3 attempts to start it,they would have been screwed in a scramble!

As someone who was born in the year 2000 and have lived in Sherburn my whole life and have watched it slowly change over the years, this was absolutely fascinating to watch! Thank you for this. I have often wondered what it was like back in my parents days. Do you have anymore footage of Sherburn from back then?

I've spotted Ray Hanna, Carolyn Grace, Paul Bonhomme, Pete Kynsey, John Romain, Norman Lees. Barry Tempest I didn't recognise. Old school, no blasted iPhones and full attention in the room. 18.40 very funny.

Brill! Worrying no of Morris Marinas in car park 😁

Never to be repeated!! What great shows they were, the kids were brought up at them!! Well done for sharing, thanks!!

Great to know that they restored the poor thing again! I love seeing the old war birds flying!

Saw that at Fenton just before it's accident!!

With 8 hrs. on type he shouldn't have been doing an airshow,,, go read the crash report, it was his incompetence that bent that plane not the plane's age.

😊😊well filmed again squire 😊

Nice one...😊well filmed....i eas there 😊😊

The very first time i flew was in this aircraft on this day with my dad 😊 we'd gone to the airshow and he decided to treat us!! Wow that brings back some good memories😊 😊😊😊

Spoke to Brian at brunty many years ago he was a lovely man and is sadly missed

Not Lightning but Binbrook related, Best story my old man told me was he was on black top one night, as most of you know Binbrook had its own weather and was notorious for heavy snow. Anyway they had a new WO one night, he told the crew on black top which way they should be clearing the snow, Even though they told the WO they would be blowing into the wind he would have none of it. To cut a long story short, The WO ended up eating a large piece of humble pie after they had to redo the whole runway again! There is another story as well on how the MT section had the station Commander on the floor in the rain with his face in a puddle (whilst on exercice)

Great memories of my childhood years at Binbrook, 82-87, wish i'd been a lot older to enjoy the golden years of a fantastic aircraft.

It must have broken the hearts of all the dedicated mechanics snd volounteers that got it restored to see that idiot crash it 😢

Was also there in 85 and loved the place. Great video thanks

Where is the plane now?

After such a painstaking effort to get this airframe airworthy and to restore it to such high standards one clown who was not familiar with this type turned it into a nightmare for all who had been involved in the restoration work! Shame that mediocre pilot was handling this aircraft…

Many air display pilots seem to go nuts and throw the planes around without any display training at all, I sometimes think more planes have been lost at airshows than in all the world wars combined..:)

This takes me back. An eighteen year old working on the flight line at the time.

White stripe, Mediterranean theater.

Russia could have been a fantastic ally.. but a quarter of a century under the thumb of Putin has absolutely decimated that, I wanted to visit Russia to go to their war museums.. especially the one with the last remaining German MAUS tank.. nevermind.

Wow. I feel like I’m 20 again.

I was there then working in MT. Absolutely loved the place and most of the people in it. Left in Dec85 for Bruggen.

I remember being parked up there with the grandparents standing on the fence and waving to the pilots as a kid..they always waved back..

One way trip to Russia during the cold war. All the fuel was used. If they were lucky enough to drop their payload at the designated target then the only outcome would be a friendly airfield within NATO - if still operational. The white Vulcans were painted to reflect a nuclear detonation flash. A beautiful example can be viewed at the Duxford Air Museum. Interesting fact - during the Falkland war the Vulcan had to mirror the onboard map to reflect a route to Canada then invert the map to Argentina. The Vulcan only had a map for Russia and her block countries.

Was this filmed at kermington airfield? If so then I think I was there that day. The feeling of the ground shaking as the Vulcan flew overhead is something I'll never forget.

Superb😊😊😊❤❤

I would say 85 is right , IIH Sadly the Datsun? Cherry Coupe came out the same year , those Vivas must have all been Ziebarted from new !

Going home from BG???

Clean streets

I was there on that day ! Memories flooding back. The end of an era for a truly fabulous British aircraft ! ❤

1985. Few cars, loads of walking shoppers. 2024 Fuck it, I'll jump in car drive few hundred yards, can't find a parking space, blow a brain fuse cause its taking to long, drive back home & order online or call some cunt to deliver your takeaway. And we thought our parents & grandparents lived in hard times.

Classy Cas hey

Studied engineering there in 84 Very sad to see it go

Nice to see some motorway driving from that year on the M25 and then the M1, I can see that back then the blue signs were slightly different looking to the ones we've got now, and also before they changed into smart motorways, including having a bit of the M25 that is no longer concrete.
