Amazing accompaniment to the story of empathy for fallen airmen in Italy!

Super skills my friend. Enjoy the challenge.

I love Garnet Challenger. I purchased the cd 'Harvest Time' on Discogs. I would like to find out more about him and purchase other music. I can't find out anything about him. There is also an H.R. Challenger that is somehow related. Any information that anyone can provide, would be appreciated.

The Halifax in the Yorkshire Air Museum is fantastic as is the recognition of the RCAF and Canadian air crew in WWII. I have visited several times from Canada.

That's all what you have to rebuild your Halifax? those two wings?

That will be the real Halifax in yorkshire. of course.?

What a great team effort, and a Great way to honour all of those young Canadians who came here to liberate Europe

Good Job Karl, glad they made it over the pond, very proud to be a small part of the project👍😎

We have the Canadian memorial hangar at Elvington airfield here in Yorkshire, dedicated to the honour and courage to all those that served from Canada in 1939-45. Elvington was an airfield used by 77 squadron and flew Halifax, losing over 500 aircrew and almost 80 aircraft. There is a static Halifax on display in one of the hangars. I look forward to seeing the progress with the old girl, we should never forget the sacrifices of these brave aircrew.

To see a fully complete operational aircraft after all this time would be nothing less than a dream come true. Their absence in the historical aircraft types collection is so regrettable that not one survives in flying order.

Think how easy it would have been if they had actually saved a few way back then.

Just found your site and will be following it for sure. This has special meaning for me as my father was a ground crew SGT overseas with the RCAF during WWII. The Halifax was his baby. One of the bases he served at was in Eastmoor. After the war he was kept on reserve RCAF for years due to his knowledge of not only the Halifax but the Lancaster as well. My mother was also a proud member of the RCAF during WWII mainly at RCAF base Rockcliffe in Ottawa.

Great result folks. Well done.👍

Cracking video so happy us in the UK were able to help.Seeing another Halifax being rebuilt means a lot to me as my old friend John Cook was a rear gunner with 578 sqn flying out of RAF Burn,Yorkshire. All the best guys.

These wings are from the HP Hastings.

Wonderful, what great co-operation and co-ordinated team work! Btw, Cosford is in Shropshire and is in the Midlands area of England.

Fantastic work! Well done to ALL involved 👍

Great work Karl!!!

I'm very frustrated that only dedicated enthusiasts are keeping the memory of this aircraft 'alive'. To think trillions of dollars/£s are being pumped into war projects year on year, but no money is available from governments to fund the rebuild of craft that meant so much to the survivors of previous conflicts. It's actually peanuts in comparison to the ridiculous amount they throw at recent conflicts. My heart is with these guys, but my budget isn't. My uncle lost his life on a Halifax lll, 20 yrs old. 1944. I will never forget his sacrifice. But it seems many who have come along since, have already turned a blind eye. Thank you for your continued support for the guys who flew these aircraft. It means a lot to us relatives. X

FANTASTIC!!! ILOVE IT!!!

So thrilled to have played even a miniscule part of this while not even being present. Karl, so great to see you again and snippets of Jay Hammond, Bart Beckers, Chris van Hee. I believe that I provided the team with contact info for Bart, Chris and Martin Drewes, not seen here and likely due to feelings of the Hammond family. I've kept up with your great endeavors over the many years both well prior to here in 1997 and for decades after. Betty Floody gave me your (then) address well before 1997 and she was always a top fan of you and your endless and dedicated work. She was a very dear friend of mine that passed in 2004, 15 years after Wally. I only met you once ever, near Toronto Airport after the recovery in 1997. An event never forgotten and I'm eternally grateful to you. Many thanks and best of luck in all that you do in the future!!!

Who decided to melt the 2nd Halifax pieces to form ingots? What a waste!!! They could have sold the original historic bits off for a fortune. Collectors world wide would have snapped them up in no time. Poor decision at best. All that history in terms of artifacts now forever lost with no financial gain. DOH!!!

Great hit Maureen .. Happy for you .Love you too Akiiki..Greetings from Toronto

Weldone ma dear,we lov u too

What eventually happened?

For whom did the Canadian parliament recently give two standing ovations..?

I miss him. Use to work on my art late at night, to the sounds of the carribean on miami wlrn npr

A great job Karl and Scott!

I already visited your KZfaq Channel. I came to your fantastic KZfaq Channel and your uploaded video is very good quality and very trendy. I’m sorry to say this ,I found that your Channel has some major problems . I visited your channel and watched some videos, the content is very good. But due to video optimization problems, the video is not getting viral and views, likes, and comments. Your problems need to be fixed.

Would you consider doing videos on the disassembly and refurbishment of the turret?

heard you talk about running engines. Now propeller blades and outer wing sections. Does this mean you are going to have an operational Halifax? I so hope you do. While static displays are awesome, nothing brings a tear to the eye like the flyover of such a historic aircraft. Keep it up

There is some really good progress, good work guys!

Marvellous work

Great work

Can you share the name of the book that he keeps telling us to refer too...ty

Wonderful story, he truly is apart of history. You must be very proud.

beautiful voice and beautiful woman. wow

My grandads brother flyg off j Ross of 186sqn RAF trained in Canada. He danced with Betty grable whilst she was on a war bonds tour in Canada in 1943.

Having now watched the video, I find no mention of the titular aircraft, so the entire video should be re-titled!

Please correct the title of this video; the Battle aircraft was designed and built by the FAIREY company!

Thank You For Your Service^^

Turrets rotated very much quicker to track e/a ive seen utube surprised me the speed please revise demo for accuracy

#13 completed 2023...

I too can thoroughly recommend any of his books. I have in my possession a propeller stub from a Lancaster that was lost on this raid. Berlin, Hamburg, Peenemünde and Arnhem 1944 are the ones I’ve read so far.

I started using Visine because of his show, used to stay up all night and tape the show, went to school with red eyes. I still have some tapes. Clint Oneal, El mada musical... Or something like that 😅

36 souls. Lost their lives!

Wow!

I Hope in flying condition👍

My grandfather flew as a tail end charlie in the mighty Lancaster and served in bomber command for 10 years, from 1937 to 1947. The things he went through and saw made him not talking about the war for years after.

I wish he had talked about what they bought from him. I am 64, grew up in central Ohio. We had chickens, pigs. A dairy farm, a half acre garden. Mom went to the store for four and sugar and that's about it cuz she canned and froze all the fruits and vegetable (we had cherry, apple and pear trees and a rhubarb patch ). He would arrive in a big beast of a Studebaker with a trunk you could put a deep freeze in. I know she bought vanilla, tapioca, horhound, and salve and cocoa cola syrup. I do not if dad bought any livestock meds from him or at the feed mill.
